I will disconnect my phone now.
I am at the office, swamped in work and my twin sister (the lawyer) calls:
Her: Ana, can you calculate with Excel?
Me: Excuse me?
Her: Can you calculate with Excel?
Me: What do you mean, can you caculate? (getting irritated now)
Her: I mean the number I am trying to enter in my calculator is too long. Can I do it in Excel?
Me: Of course you can you dumb ass (ok so I didn't actually call her that but I should have).
Her: Ok, what do I do?
Me: Write the number in a cell...
Her: how?
Me: Can you see the numbers on your keyboard? That's how (by now I knew this would take time and I would be late to get R from daycare) Now push the plus or minus key.
Her: I want to multiply
Me: So multiply
Her: Were's the multiplying key?
Me: Next to the minus key. ...
Her: That's a "little star" (she literally said that)
Me: That's the one...
Ok, I will stop now because this took over 20 minutes...to do two simple operations. What can I say about this, the woman is a lawyer for crying out loud! I'm exausted.

o be fair, Excel is a pain when you are starting. I've always wanted a twin BROTHER and used to nag my parents incessantly. Alas, couldn't be done...
