So, since I'm the techie of the family, a couple days ago we got a call from the wife's dad. His wifi stopped working. And since he's an architect, he needed his laptop's wifi to work for him to work. Rolling my eyes, I began to tell him to do all the standard things that one would do to check the wifi. At one point, I asked him if he accidentally touched the wifi on/off button and he said his laptop doesn't have such button.
​
Anyway, yesterday evening we drove there for the sole purpose of me fixing his laptop's wifi. The drive took about an hour. It took me about 30 seconds to fix his wifi. You know what I did? I pressed the wifi on/off button, the very same button he swore up and down didn't exist.

How do you guys deal with your annoying in-laws?

My in-laws were very good people, and were exceptionally nice to me.

I miss them. Guess I got lucky, eh?
