'It is like every email is a poem': 25+ Computer-challenged coworkers who needed a helping hand

We can't all be the most tech savvy person in the office. These people below think they are, though — because a lot of them are stuck helping their coworkers figure out the most basic computer skills.

These employees have the responsibility of being pretty good at problem solving. More than 1,000 people responded to u/Spyder_J's question: "What's your funniest 'coworker is computer illiterate' story?"

It's easy to take for granted how intuitive iPhones and iPads are, when just a few decades ago computers were so much simpler than they are now. These technological leaps and bounds make it hard to keep up! Even if you're just a year or two out of the loop, it can seriously impact your career (and your day to day life, too).

It goes both ways, though. A few years ago, someone in my office had to send a fax, and all of us under age 30 had literally no idea how to do that. We can all email and DM each other, but faxing? You may as well have asked us to do rocket science. It took us a very long time to figure it out. Check out all these responses below.

Next up, these memes will be relatable to Gen Xers only.
