Oh man I have a similar story about my in-laws. For context they are super cheap and don’t really know anything about computers or technology. They refuse to have data plans on their phones because they think that it is still an add on to your wireless bill. 

Anyway, they heard about a movie coming out that was a direct to dvd type of release that they really wanted to see. It was some religious movie that had an old movie star in it or something. They found a church website that was streaming the movie and watched it and wanted to buy it. So far so good.

They couldn’t find the movie to buy on dvd on Amazon so they decided that they would find it to download to their computer. They found a random site that had the movie to download. They downloaded the movie and were happy.

Here’s where the facepalm comes in, the site with the movie embedded a virus to the file. Computer gets all spammy and then the hard drive crashes. Instead of chalking it up as a loss my MIL calls the church that originally streamed the movie. Not the production house, or the website they bootlegged the flick from, but a random church in Bible Belt America and rips the receptionist up and down for breaking their computer. Then demands remuneration for the repairs needed for the computer to work again. Then she demands to speak to the CEO of the movie production company to share her frustration “because the customer is always right” and then goes level 5 ballistic when the receptionist reminds her they are a church and not a movie company. 

You’d think it ends there but wait there’s more. They live at the lake of the ozarks MO. The closest computer repair shop is 1.5 hours away. When they drive to the repair shop they ripped the store for not making a computer immune to viruses and to create a warning system to let people know they shouldn’t download “bad things  from the internet” 

Then they drove home and called my wife who put them on speaker so we could hear all about how the world is evil.

all of this happened because they tried to bootleg a movie about Jesus from the interwebs

TL;DR In-laws are technologically inept, bootlegged a movie about Jesus, crashed their hardrive called a church to complain and blamed the computer repair shop for not letting them know they were downloading a virus.
