A Challenged Senior...

A Challenged Senior...

I do pretty good with computers since I have had since 1981, an Atari 800, top of the line. But a lot of the modern stuff is confusing.

I bought me a GPS a couple of years ago. The GPS looks pretty smart on my dash board, but the lady inside it is the most annoying, rudest person I have run ever into in a long time. Every 10 minutes, she sarcastically says, "Re-calc-u-lating;" or "Turn around at first opportunity." You would think that she could be nicer. It is like she could barely tolerate me. She will let go with a deep sigh and then tell me to make a U-turn at the next light; and then if I fail to make the U-turn, it's "Katie bar the door!"

The world is just getting too complex for me. They even mess me up every time I go to the grocery store. You would think they could settle on something themselves but this sudden "Paper or Plastic?" every time I check out is just too much for me.

So I bought some of those cloth reusable bags to avoid looking confused but I never remember to take them in with me.

Now I toss it back to them. When they ask me, "Paper or Plastic?" I just say, "Doesn't matter to me. I am bi-sacksual." Then it's their turn to stare at me with a blank look.
