I worked with a guy that I had to limit questions about his job (he had been doing it for 2 years) to a maximum of 20 questions a day. It was peaceful after the first 30 minutes of the day.
My neighbor had the same problems with his phone. He complained to me about his phone not working; I suggested that he turn it off then back on. He claimed that it was off because the screen was dark. (It hibernated.) It was an android phone so I told him to hold the power button down at the same time as the volume button for 30 secs (pwr+vol) and it should re-boot. His response was What button?
It was no easier even with simpler tech. I used to sell stereos in the 80’s. We had a whole wall of boom-boxes. A woman came in with her kids looking to buy one. FIrst she had a question: what is the difference between mono and stereo? I’d have thought that by the 1980’s most people knew, but I figured I’d be the nice salesman and explain. I started simply: “Well, you see- the mono unit has only one speaker, and the stereo has two…” I got no further before the woman asked: “Oh! In case more than one person is listening, right?”
A company had techs that would hide in the bathroom and smoke all day. The manager had me hang a paging system speaker in the ceiling tile over the toilet.
He is you typical male who does not read manuals or ask for directions. He had bought a new car and did not realize that he had radio controls on the steering wheel until it was pointed out to him.

I quote Scott Adams— “At some point in our lives, we are all idiots!” Of course, with some bosses, that point stretches into a very long line..
