My Mom: "Michael, what do I put for my name and password to log into my work benefits web site?" [something i know absolutely nothing about]
Me: What do you mean?
Mom: Well, what do I put to log into the site?
Me: I have no idea, how would I know that?
Mom: Well it's not letting me log into it, I want to check my benefits. What do I put for a login name?
Me: You need to find out from your IT Department, how would I possibly know something like that?
Mom: They never answer the phone and I don't want to bug them. What do I enter?
Me: Mom, seriously, how would I possibly know what you need to enter as a username and password for something I don't even use at your company where I don't even work?
Mom: *in snide voice Well you're so good with computers I thought you would know wnat I needed to do.

All of the above is true. I was blown away. It's one thing to ask how to use a printer, an entirely different slab of madness when a mother asks her son what her username and password is for her company's benefits site.
