This was also my experience, except one person actually told me I was too old to be trick-or-treating. It didn’t help that my grim reaper costume was actually scaring the smaller children.

Back in 2007 I worked in an office that required basic MS Excel / Word competency. The office manager led her to her desk and instructed her to turn on her computer (nothing fancy, a basic workstation with a large round button).

She couldn’t figure out how to turn it on. The office manager sent her home and she never came back.
