Sounds like my mother and cameras. She is the queen of the forty-five minute snapshot! "Everybody smile... Oh, must turn it on! Ok, ready? ... Oops darn, the flash didn't go off. Everyone stay there. Ok ... ready? Dang! Forgot to wind it. Keep smiling, one second, hold on now ok ready? ... ... ... well, what is going on! I keep pressing the b-- *snap*. Ok, everyone back together and smile. J., you are not smiling! Smile dammit! Ok, ready... oh, what a shame, no more film!"
We thought a digital camera would be the fix for her. Nope! No more forwarding and no more running out of film, but she found all sorts of new problems.
