“Old timers like me just act dumb and pretend we don’t know how to use a cell phone.”

My vet wants me to load their app. My medical group wants me to load their app and fill out surveys on my cell phone. My piano tuner wants to communicate via his app. I tell everyone I just have a flip phone (I lie) and they (1) feel sorry for me, and (2) back off.

Yup—that is the trick—as long as they can feel smarter and superior to you they will take pity on you and back off....

We need to learn to be sneaky.
