Grandmas are awesome, but in my experience, technology is not exactly their forte. One of my grandmas had a rotary phone up until a few years ago. She “upgraded” to a landline phone, and it’s not even wireless. My Grammy, on the other hand, has a cellphone. She JUST got an iPhone 5, and she’s so cute.
But this grandma? This grandma is hysterical. Check out this thread.
Apparently, some dude (he’s a writer for Forbes, FYI) has an aunt who sent his grandma a GIF of Steve Harvey clapping (a classic), but she was totally freaked out because the GIF didn’t stop.
I’m assuming this was the concerning GIF used:
Naturally, his grandma went to Verizon to get help.
OH GRAMMY!

“It’s 5:30 pm and he’s STILL clapping”
I would give any amount of money to have seen the face of the Verizon staffer my grandma asked to stop the gif

I just called my grandma and I think she turned off BOTH her cell phones now. That should do it…

My cousin reminded me Grammy has a landline so we just spoke:
1) She says the Verizon employee’s also told her a gif “goes around and around”
2) She now understands what a gif is and how to delete a text
2) She doesn’t really get Twitter but is PUMPED @chrislhayes saw this 😂— Alex Konrad (@alexrkonrad) July 11, 2018
@IAmSteveHarvey my cousins are wondering when Grammy can compete on the show 🤔https://t.co/AcuNM8bos3

Steve Harvey TOTALLY needs to talk to her. That’d be epic.
