First of all, I don't mind people who are ignorant about computers and software. They aren't purposely being dumb on their computer, they just don't know any better.

But without a doubt, you KNOW you are going to have problems when the first thing a person says is:

"Well my husband / son / brother / etc. is in the IT field and works with computers all the time, and....."

"I like to build my own computers at home too and I think....."

"My friend was over last night helping me set up my wireless Intranet and he changed...."

I hope you know whoever said that past a first name basis, otherwise that would kind of scare me.
