(I’m doing some writing on my computer, while my husband is in another room, when he calls over…)

Husband: “Hey, can you access the Internet? It’s not working on my phone.”

Me: “Hang on… oh, it seems to be down. Want me to restart the router?” *Said router is right next to my desk.*

Husband: “No! No need! I think I can do a soft reset in the settings somewhere…”

(I decide to wait and see how this plays out and continue my work. After a couple minutes he comes into the room, grumbling to himself, and starts up his own desktop computer. It takes him another ten minutes to access the settings from there and find the right options.)

Husband: “Finally! I don’t like to do this on the phone with the small screen, but now it should… ah yes, see? It’s up and running.”

Me: “…you realize that this took you more than fifteen minutes, and all this time I could have just reached out for the plug without even leaving my chair?”

Husband: “But it worked!”

(The kicker? He works in IT.)
