Reader givecoup recently shared this story in the Funny Tech Stories group: On a flight to Tokyo that was diverted to Osaka due to a monsoon, I popped open my laptop to find the number for the hotel I was staying at to let them know I'd be late. The older lady next to me asked me if she could send an email to her son to let her know she'd be delayed. I responded that I couldn't let her do that Read more

GeekSugar reader suziryder posted this funny story and super cute pic in the Funny Tech Stories group: I received a package from my mom yesterday, and she wrote a note saying that she included a "TV remote" that I'd left behind when I moved out. Thanks, Mom! But the thing is, that's definitely a telephone! Are your parents, grandparents, sisters, or friends as tech-savvy as you? Do you have a Read more

I knew this day was going to come. I suppose by stalking an ex boyfriend on Facebook I was asking for it, but that doesn't make my experience any less mortifying. Let my funny/insanely embarrassing tale be a lesson to you all: stalk carefully! My ex and I are no longer Facebook friends — I learned my lesson about that one!

Reader birdsflyinghigh recently posted this story in the Funny Tech Stories group: Sometimes the odds are against you. I take public transportation (BART), and sometimes my good friend takes the BART with me. We usually chat the entire ride into work.
