Neighbor knocks on my door to ask my help setting up his new smartphone (he's only ever used flip phones). When I finished getting it ready he was amazed I "got it in three minutes" when he was "struggling the past four hours". Afterwards talked with him a bit and showed him a few this-n-thats with the phone (like how to add contacts) and if he wants to try the Internet I'll let him use my wi-fi (he doesn't have a computer).
