"my computer won't turn on!!"
"is it plugged in?"
"hold on let me check...it's hard to tell, the power's out"

I spent over an hour on a support call trying to walk an asshole lady through fixing her Adobe Illustrator, for her to stop mid-instructions to say she couldn’t tell me what the status was because her power was out due to a fucking hurricane in her area! 🤦♂️
Side note: that was one of the two times my bosses didn’t get upset at me for telling off a customer.
I'm the family tech support person so I know your pain
It's a pain in the ass when you have a parent who won't even try to learn to do something after trying to teach them and they call you everytime they need to do something
