14 Funny Stories About Technologically Challenged Customers

Dear readers,

Technology is now so intertwined in our lives (we regularly need to charge our cigarettes, thermos, pillows, etc.) that some people are going to be inevitably left behind. It mostly happens accidentally, but sometimes it can be through self-inflicted ignorance. So common is this problem that, despite having done not one but two roundups in the past, we felt it necessary to share from the archives fourteen tales of yet more hilariously technologically challenged customers. Enjoy!
