Back in 1996 my brother gave our parents a really nice 36" Sony tv.
They had never had a really nice tv with all the bells and whistles.
I stopped by one day and they were watching tv with the French Closed Caption on.
I asked them why they had the CC on and my mother said; A couple of weeks ago it just started having all that gibberish on it.
I told her that it was French CC and that somehow they had turned it on.
My mother to this day swears they did nothing to cause the CC to be turned on and the tv "just did it on it's own".
But then again, they had taped the following on the remote; on/off, volume, channel.

My ex mother-in-law used to love getting new technology, but didn't know how to use it. I'd get phone calls all the time about her TV, DVD player, computer...etc, that would end with me driving over to her house to see what she was talking about. It was always user error, but I'd patiently go over everything again...and again...again.
