So I had this problem where I couldn't open more than one page in my browser. I asked the man to have a look and he said everything is fine. Then the interrogation started.
Him: What browser do you use?
Me: I don't know. Chrome I guess.
Him: Show me.
I press the google bar. His eyes got very wide.
Him: That's not chrome. That's google. It only allows you to open one tab at a time.
Me: ooohhh
He shakes his head. Then proceeds to educate me on Google vs Google Chrome vs Samsung browser. Now you smart people probably already know this. I did not even though I've had 3 Samsung phones and 3 Samsung tablets over the last 10 years. I have learnt lots in the past few days. I will continue to learn. I at least showed him how to use the airfryer the other day.
Once someone shows me something I can pick it up quite quickly. Plus he is a very good teacher. Very patient and he makes me demonstrate what I have been shown so I get it. We do compliment each other. There's been a lot of funny moments.
One of the bonuses to relationships that I like. Especially when their expertise can help you further. I'm a writer, and one of my stories that I hope gets published one of these days, involves a character from WW2 Russia. So my partner helped me a lot when it came to guns from that time. Of course, what I bring to the table is just stupid Wikipedia knowledge because I need to know stuff that doesn't benefit me in life at all.
