www.

http;//www.

[–]N9325 1 point2 points ago

My dad does this. Every. Fucking. Time. And he used to work at sprint for 4 years -.-

[–]ignis_domini 2 points3 points ago

my computer science professor does this...

[–]x755x 2 points3 points ago

That's awkward.

[–]carlsaischa 0 points1 point ago

Some sites don't work unless you put in the www, so I do it all the time.

[–]Sonofadot 1 point2 points ago

I type the www. by reflex. It's faster than forcing myself to remember not to do it. Of course the one time I do remember to not type it will be when it's one of those stupid addresses where the http://www. is required.

[–]verronbc 1 point2 points ago

Same. Left click url box and it's like a reflex to hit www. What really bugs me is when people have the google toolbar search and still end up going to google anyway.

[–]mofish1 1 point2 points ago

Alt +d, never left click that shit again

[–]Superhobbes1223 0 points1 point ago

You can also use F6 or ctrl/cmd L

[–]iratusamuru 1 point2 points ago

I have the toolbar but i always go to google instead. Having text in that little box bothers me, and it never stays backspaced.

[–]charlie123517 11 points12 points ago

i definitely think about this when i watch my parents use the computer

[–]ExtraCheesed_Buddha 0 points1 point ago

I can't stand the sight of watching them miserably get lost within its files, I just leave until my time is needed

[–]Jalenofkake 0 points1 point ago

Or any older person for that matter.

[–]e39silverm5 5 points6 points ago

Everytime my dad types like a bird eats and wonders how to forward an email, seriously

[–]RafeVL 4 points5 points ago

Watching this get reposted almost every other day.

edit: And not even using Imgur!

[–]WhatIObserve 4 points5 points ago

If everyone could get any titles they want to associate with this gif out of their system in the comments so I don't have to watch the same 3 second clip over and over and over in a never ending manner kind of like this sentence.

[–]UndeadPirateLeChuck 29 points30 points ago

In his defense, its a reaction gif. It was never passed off as being original content. Of course, we have /r/reactiongifs for that, but still.

[–]Ninja_Daemon117 4 points5 points ago

Upvote for Nathan Fillion and truth

[–]wholeist 4 points5 points ago

I know this gif is from Castle and I'm not even ashamed that the only reason I watch it is because Nathan Fillion is in it.

[–]Ninja_Daemon117 1 point2 points ago

It's why I watch it as well.

[–]daigz 1 point2 points ago

Yep, same here too.

[–]CoyoteStark 2 points3 points ago

"How do I google the internet?"

[–]tungmick -1 points0 points ago

My wife's know-it-all aunt said "type Google in the search bar. Its usually the first E-address tab"

I just ate my sandwich and tried to ignore it.

[–]seiffer55 1 point2 points ago

Good thing this gets posted every 5 fuckin minutes. "Watching another dipshit come up with an excuse to post this .gif"

[–]shinyheadman 2 points3 points ago

[–]blckmorning 2 points3 points ago

403 error.

[–]itrollulol -1 points0 points ago

Downvoted for using a shitty, low-bandwidth image host.

Try again, bitch.

Edit: Was this a meta post? Because what you just did is very meta.

[–]brown_paper_bag 0 points1 point ago

This is me watching my colleagues and clients use a computer. How hard is navigation?

We have a program where, if you want to navigate to one of the menu options, you can type the first letter and immediately enter it. So when I want to look at Notes, I press "N" and I'm there. Almost every single one of my colleagues use the arrow keys and then press enter on the option.

Or when they double click on things they should single click, single click where they should double click, and tab when they should enter.

[–]rlopez8 -1 points0 points ago

Upvote because Nathan Fillion is yummy!

[–]Great_Gig_In_The_Sky -1 points0 points ago

Have I been on Reddit too long if I know exactly what a post is linking to without clicking?

[–]K-Rex-TW 0 points1 point ago

I have unintentionally become the tech guy for my two nursing profs. They know the hell out of nursing and the whole business but I'll be damned if they can get a youtube video working correctly or...near melt down for me...getting the media tower to work for a DVD.

[–]YourDirtySlut 0 points1 point ago

I recently visited my Aunt, her sister, and her mom in Deadwood, SD. They went on Facebook while I was there and it took all 3 of them to figure out how to read a response to one of their comments... they scrolled all the way down a week...

[–]greaseballheaven 0 points1 point ago

Me, eventually: "Dou..ble..click.. Mom..."

Her: "What?"

Me:"Nothing."

[–]Mad-Dawg 1 point2 points ago

My mom got an iPod shuffle today and wanted to know where Apple posted the phone number for iTunes so she could get songs on it.

Then we watched Law and Order UK, during which she kept laughing at the "dry British humor." Like once when someone's voice changed when the shot moved from a close-up to framing him behind a window. The episode was about a murdered child.

[–]adavid2012 0 points1 point ago

Yesterday my aunt showed me her eharmony account. She had 11 windows of internet explorer up, a few with "eharmony website" google searched via the address bar. She then proceeded to double-click every. Single. Link. O_o

[–]Lots42 0 points1 point ago

TIL you can -get- 11 IE windows up.

[–]Tripl5EsouL 1 point2 points ago

Where is the gif of the hot chick smacking her head saying "no, no, no"??

EDIT: Found that shit , and it was omigod, not no,no,no. I was close.

[–]ademnus 0 points1 point ago

LOL best laugh today

[–]JonBunne 1 point2 points ago

Everytime i see my boss try to do something on the computer, he's a mouse clicker. He clicks everything and likes to play video games... this is terribly treasonous. I may be killed at work tomorrow.

[–]kingproz 1 point2 points ago

What movie/show is this?

[–]Gamer_152 0 points1 point ago

Firefly.

[–]rikamae10 1 point2 points ago

Castle

[–]dayvieee 1 point2 points ago

My mom is still unsure on how to turn on the computer.

[–]CoriOreo 1 point2 points ago

I work in a computer lab, tutoring mostly older, nontraditional community college students, a lot of whom have almost no computer experience. When they finally get something down, no matter how roundabout or indirect it is, they stick to it religiously. File --> Save As --> (H:) drive --> Open --> Save. Every single time. After a while, this gif is just the only way to describe the feeling.

[–]TheEggKing 1 point2 points ago

My parents still use Internet Explorer and AOL. I can't tell you how many times I've tried to convince them to switch to something better.

[–]Lots42 1 point2 points ago

Tweak the IE icon so it opens up Chrome.

[–]TheEggKing 1 point2 points ago

I've thought about doing just that but haven't yet.

[–]atatic 0 points1 point ago

[–]R4vendarksky 0 points1 point ago

or watching my girlfriend playing super mario world without using the run button.

[–]Lots42 0 points1 point ago

And the sad thing is, she knows more about the fucking thing then I do.

[–]InvalidZod 0 points1 point ago

Watching my college teacher use the computer.

Seriously its just so sad

[–]TigerWylde 0 points1 point ago

I'm convinced that everyone here has morons for parents. I feel bad - is there a charity for this I could donate to?

[–]Grassman_of_Gotham 1 point2 points ago

You want to help. You honestly do. You could solve their problems in less than a second.

But they will never let you.

[–]wittyfakename_2 1 point2 points ago

This is me watching my wife play video games. "Wait, there's a chest over... is that a... you missed.."

[–]KizzyKid 0 points1 point ago

my 12 year old step-sister opened Internet Explorer (ouch), clicked in the google search bar at the top, typed in 'google' (double ouch), then clicked the link on the search screen to go to google.co.uk (triple ouch)

[–]drlarry 0 points1 point ago

Watching his parents retarded child use the reddit

[–]4nonymo 1 point2 points ago

gifcrap.com?

I'd rather your parents use the computer, thanks.

[–]PresidentBarackOsama 0 points1 point ago

They always click the dreaded "e". You know which one...

Its blue, made by microsoft and fuckin' sucks.

[–]Chwedgie 1 point2 points ago

Worse, my mom actually calls Internet Explorer "E".

[–]Lots42 0 points1 point ago

It's easy to make the dreaded E open up the lovely C.
