My kid is learning to drive and I wanted to rent/get ahold of a manual to teach that too, but nothing doing. You can’t find one to rent and I’m not buying a whole car for a few weeks’ training.

Agreed. There is a snobbery to Apple.

They (my inlaws) are all on apple and they get these $2k+ Macs and they do less on them than I do on my non-apple laptop that I got refurbished for a few hundred, but I get a definite sense from them that non-apple products are beneath them.

One of the older family members sends emails and occasionally looks something up online. She often has to hunt down her Mac because she hasn’t used it in a couple of weeks. When she needed to replace it, I suggested something like mine and she got quiet and changed the subject. The next week she was telling me about her new Mac. It cost a fortune, but she didn’t tell me that, to her credit.

They all have iPhones too as if anything less would mean they were in a slightly lower class. I love them or I’d tell them to pound sand.

The person who downvoted you hasn’t experienced this snobbery. It exists though.

I had an older relative who thought that because my bubble was in green that she was being charged to see it.

We don’t have pubs in the area next to my local BWW. Lots of places don’t have pubs.

No.

What good will come of it? What bad will come of it?

I can’t think of a good, but for a bad he could have his heart broken.

He’s her dad. He raised her. Anything else is unimportant after this.

If he finds out and asks her, that is the answer.

“You are my dad.”
