Sending back an Amazon parcel is faffy but doable, I can’t get
WhatsApp as my phone is cheap and old.
No coin parking often doesn’t work, today the emergency number had to be called and we all waited 20 mins while a guy sorted out the machine😡
I’m not old either, but tech isn’t always easy so have a bit of patience maybe?

AIBU to want my peers, husband, sister-in-law, brother-in-law, certain friends to get to grips with new(ish) technology?

I’m getting fed up of them not being able to; return an Amazon parcel, set up and use WhatsApp, create a new email address, use no-coin parking meters, and so on. Some of these people are a decade younger. So I have to show them how to do it, and they never retain it for next time.

No one taught me I had to figure it out by trial and error, mainly error I admit. But I’m expected to sort these out for them, again and again.

And they insist it’s not them - it’s the mobile/tablet/system. Grrr….

You might say ‘let them get on with it, that’s the only way they’ll learn’ but honestly it’s as if their brain is shuttered.
Can’t do! Won’t do!
