The TV is broken.

If I'm out on the town, and this is regardless of what town; NY, Washington DC, LA, doesn't matter - you can bet on one thing; my parents are going to call me. 

If my parents call me when I'm out on the town, you can count on one other thing: they can't figure out how to use something that has a power switch on it. 

My folks know how to open the doors to their house, and turn on their cars, but when it comes to technology, they fall a bit short.  The fact that they still have managed to get my cell phone number means their IT outsourcing has become pretty simple.  I'm like a virtual service desk.  I provide technical services for everything from:

The TV doesn't work...

 to

The computer stole my credit card...

 I love when the descriptions are so definitive.  Like, "The TV is broken".  Well, if it's broken, why would you call me when I'd have to take a plane to come see you?  But don't worry - it never is broken.  This is what I call "User Error".  If you have ever worked in a technical services type position, you'll know that most technology failures are actually user failures. 

I suppose it's only a matter of time before my number is under "System Admin" on my mother's phone.
