For fucks sake, mum. You have been working with computers since the seventies. How can you not know a single one of your passwords?

    The number of times I have had this phone conversation is greater than 3:

    “I accidentally clicked something on Facebook and now my computer is playing a loud noise and I can’t do anything and it says not to turn off my computer or all my data will be lost.”

    “Restart your computer”

    “But it says not to!”

    “It’s a virus that just took over your computer. Why would you do what it told you?”

    “I don’t want to lose all my files!”

    “You don’t have any files on that computer and it doesn’t matter. Just restart.”

    (Back and forth a few times)

    “Oh, I just restarted and everything is back to normal. Never mind!”
