Wii Slot For Discs, Not Credit Cards

[Sixties Spidey]

this is how you know Nintendo aimed at the wrong demographic.

Could one of the female members of this board please find this woman and give her a slap to back of her head Gibb's style please?

I know you put money into arcade games, but this is ridiculous.

hard core facepalm


Sadly I see my mom doing this if I ever am not around to run the cuboid.

 

[WingedFortress]

Hahaha, very funny.
One time, at my job, a fella asked why he couldn't pay me cash over the phone.
I was kinda dumbfounded.

Wow. Some people's stupidity is incredible.

That made my morning...

the perfect back to school thread....wow though how do ya mistake disk slot for credit card? you put the number into the tihng......

In HER defense, he could've worded it a lot better than "you put your credit card in when prompted."

However, even then she manages to reach a whole new level of techno-tarded. Doesn't the Wii Shop channel give specific instructions on entering the credit card number?

EDIT: You know, I wonder how much money this woman would waste on a defective vending machine before giving up?

This scares me. I fear the day that she gets a computer. I'm sure tech support all around the world does too. To imagine her on a computer, all i have to do is imagine my mom on a computer, and multiply by 10. Every time something pops up, she screams apocalypse.

Mom- "Jacob! Something just popped up! It says 'AVG Antivirus, click OK to update', what should i do!?
Me- ...
Mom- "I clicked cancel, is that right?"
Me- *Gets up with a resigned sigh*

WHY DOES SHE ALWAYS TRY THE COMPUTER WHEN IM ABSORBED WITH SOMETHING FUN ON MY COMPUTER?

Although, if you think about it, that poor credit card lady would make for some really funny tech support call logs, like the ones i enjoy reading all the time.

Stupid as it sounds (as well as amusing) I can perhaps understand why someone who had never used a console/ordered online before might take "put the creditcard in" too literally. Dunno if this woman fit that criteria.

 

[Echolocating]

"Put in your credit card" sounds a lot like physically putting in your credit card. The lady was clearly ignorant of technology, but the person giving the instructions used a very vague and odd way to mean "enter your credit card information". I wouldn't call the woman stupid, just mind bogglingly unfamiliar with mainstream technology.

This ranks up there with the cup holder fiasco when CD drives were first introduced to PCs. ;-)

And don't get me started on the seeming convenience of fridge magnets to hold 5 ¼" disks to the side of the PC's chassis.

... How? I mean I know some people aren't knowledgeable when it comes to technology but this is an almost unbelievable level of ignorance. I thought this was a wind up at first but I got a good laugh out of it. Perfect thing to lighten up my Monday

 

[CoverYourHead]

The woman is trying to get the neighbor to pay for the damage? Really? She has destroyed my faith in humanity.

 

[KarmicToast]

Wow, this is the third time this article has been a thread.

 

[Avatar Roku]

So stupid. Wasn't there a thread about this a week or two back?

Yup. As funny now as then.

 

[Neosage]

Wow, this is the third time this article has been a thread.

Meh they did the same thing with the new doctor who.
