15+ Technologically incompetent coworker stories: 'Old coworker used to print out 100+ page PDF just to scan it all back into email one by one'

Every office has a technologically incompetent coworker. The truth of the matter is that some people simply should not be allowed to have phones or computers, and sometimes, I will include myself in this category. The number of times in which I have accidentally texted the wrong person is proof alone that I am not the most careful when it comes to technology. This is also proof that it is not always the oldest coworker in the office who is the technologically challenged one. In fact, I have had many older coworkers explain to me how to connect my computer to the conference room TV, and every single time, I still get it wrong.

Still, there are several Boomer stories that Redditors included in their coworker venting stories, and there are a few instances of the reverse as well. It's further proof that while technology is usually intended to bridge people closer together and to make productivity easier, sometimes, the exact opposite result ends up happening. The best thing you can do in these situations is to laugh it off and not let it frustrate you too much because new technology isn't going anywhere.
