my dad once asked me to copy files from his desktop to his disk, and then double and triple asked me if he can now delete the files on his desktop safely
you'd think he'd have had copying files figured out after a decade of owning a laptop, but alas

I taught my dad a lot of things in his 70s that there is no way my 30 something son would be able to handle.
My grandfather had directories full of young teens, even his desktop wallpaper. They were definitely over 18 but still... I never said a word, just acted normally.
I love it though
When I was younger having to fill out timesheets in Excel for my mum.
Always forgetting their passwords to their accounts and having to reset their passwords for them.
Providing them access on my Netflix account and then when Netflix had the changes where you can't have it in two homes asking me why they can't get on, cancelled my subscription in the end.
Email attachments and when they go over the max attachment limit complaining about having to upload their files to the cloud.
Volunteering my help to others...
The list could go on and on.
I appreciate my parents but when it comes to helping with technology it sometimes drives me up the wall.
