I know plenty of 40yr olds who can barely use a computer, and i know 40 yr olds who don't know how to drive. I bet she knew that turning off the computer would help, but mixed with a panic moment, being told not to do something explicitly (she's only a substitute afterall) and children buzzing around would make most people not think logically.

Actually this doesn't just happen in Americaland, but it happens in countries where that follow the letter of the law instead of the spirit of the law. We can all see things that fall under this all the time on Fark.
So thus in Singapore, because the law reads that automobiles are not to run red lights, neither can ambulances. Most expatriates there are males, my mother was expatriated and normally spouses are also granted limited work permit. Law reads WIFE gets the permit, thus my father could not get a permit because the way the law was written.
