No idea if this really is true or not, but I do believe so!

‘How do you afford 7 new computer in 3 weeks?????’: Customer throws away 7 new computers because she didn’t know how to charge them.​


A woman's response to a call for ridiculous things that creators on TikTok have had to explain to people has viewers questioning how an adult can go so long without knowing that computers must be charged.

"I had a woman transferred to me who was very upset because her refund was late," @rubygirl_22 says in the video. "We had been on the phone for basically an hour, and she was very upset about this refund being late because she needed to buy a new computer. Totally understand, school is expensive. Because we're on the phone for over an hour, she's kind of telling me more things about her life story. She makes a passing comment that this is the seventh computer that she's gone through, and I'm thinking oh yeah, you're a PhD student, it's going to take you a lot of computers to get through your program, or multiple degrees, is what I was thinking. She clarified this was her seventh computer in three weeks."

Story may or may not be apocryphal, but it certainly makes a valid point.

I went to school with a guy who was a brilliant achademic, but was socially inadequate, and like a small child, was definitely unsafe to be let out on his own without a minder.

After posting it and seeing it, I now tend to agree with your 1st sentence. Maybe 1 or 2 I would have bought, but 7??? :)

And I too have known a few you describe in para #2. I think probably most people have.
