    Below transcript was sent to poster by someone

    My workplace and a twenty three year-old phone app developer:
    Them (on phone): Can you send me a clicker carpet with the laptop?
    Me: ...
    Me: a what now?
    Them: Clicker. Carpet.
    Me: A ... clicker carpet.
    Them: Yes
    Me: What the. what is a clicker carpet?
    Them: You know the clicker. The thing that moves the arrow on the
    screen
    Me: ...
    Me: A mouse?
    Them: No, the clicker. (Sends me an image of a mouse) This.
    Me: That's called a mouse.
    Them: I need a carpet for one of those.
    Me:. A mouse pad
    Them: The clicker carpet.
    Me: It's a fffff. it's called a mouse pad. The clicker is a mouse. The
    thing under it is a pad. MOUSE. PAD
    Them: You old people and your made-up technical names.
    Me: No, it's always been mouse and mouse pad.

    Them: I have text messages with friends that says otherwise.
    Me: The Desktop team is sending you a MOUSE PAD with the laptop.
    Them: My friends and I are on the cusp of eliminating the PC with the
    cellphone, by the ways. So I may only use the laptop for like year or so.
    Me (under my breath): You and your friends are idiots.
    Them: What?
    Me: What? Are we done?
    Them: Yes what?
    Me: *hangs up*
    Everyone was looking at me by the end of the call. I got louder the longer
    I talked to this guy. When I told them about phones replace PCs, our main
    dev was like, "Do they expect hours programming shit on the cellphone?
    This kid is stupid."
    Thanks for validating my feelings.
