Teacher: press F5

Student: presses f then 5

Me: dies

*jumps out the window*

My sister did the same few years ago

If I were the teacher I'd have given him/her 5 consecutive 'F' grades. 😑

@hasitpbhatt haha, welcome to devRant btw! :)

Thanks. If I get you correctly, I shouldn't be getting @404response, should I? 😅

Dying isn't exactly the healthiest choice for a human

@dontPanic yeah, you are leaving the world worse place ( with lesser average IQ ) when you die.

@ThatDude sadly this really happened

You forgot **

I'm reasonable, I can understand someone doing this if they're not familiar with computers.

😆😆😆

Haha this tag is so true

@lucaIO so I guess you also have to learn latin? :/

@404response sadly yes

@lucaIO funny enough my name is luca as well

@404response are you from germany too?

@lucaIO yeah i am
@ThatDude could be xD

@404response @ThatDude lol

Story twist! 404Response was the student.

Holy crap, I just had the same happen yesterday in an HTML intro class. I had to try really hard not to laugh (or do as @PrivateGER suggested).
I'd understand my grandma doing this, but this kid was gen Z and grew up with computers.

Plot Twist: teacher actually wanted to show you a valid vim command xD

You'd be surprised but this happens in real life.

A wk ago, we received an incident ticket saying keyboard doesnt work with our app. We asked the user to try and hit F5 to test. He said nothing happens.

So we went to his desk and ask him to try again in front of us. He pressed 'F' and then '5'. We almost bursted out laughing but, being professional and all, we just politely showed where the key was.

The laughing happened once we were out the door. 😁

In all fairness this happened to me when I was introduced to Linux a couple of years ago ..

Friend : okay so you can filter through the output using pipe.. type this : cat /etc/somefile pipe grep someword

You can Imagen what happened next ..

Me: types "cat /etc/somefile pipe grep someword"

This is my darkest secret and if one of you figures out who I am in RL I will blatantly deny this.

That's why browsers also implemented the <Ctrl>+R shortcut as well.

So, that us highly intellectuals can go around doing our jobs without having to deal with computer n00bs like these.
