Remember when we thought VCRs were complicated? Nowadays, it seems like you need a computer science degree just to set up a new smartphone! We've all been there – staring at a screen, wondering why that darn thing won't work after we followed the instructions to a T. Whether it's printers that refuse to print, computer "updates" that ruin your afternoon, or those voice assistants that never understand what you're actually asking for, technology can be downright maddening. Take a moment to chuckle at these 32 tech disasters that prove you're definitely not alone in your digital frustrations. At least we all suffered through learning how to text together!

I hate that thing with a passion uncontested. I go shopping, it appears and beeps at me, I tell it to f**k off. EVERY D**N TIME.
WTF is that thing supposed to be/help with and which store chain do we have to avoid shopping at?
Load More Replies...Hmmm ... with what sort of boxes shall we trap it next time? Hmmm....
