Do you get a little frustrated with people who claim they can't do something, without even trying?

Neither of my younger sisters are particularly computer savvy, although one is, actually, a computer engineer with Boeing. She can write code, but she doesn’t quite understand texting, or all the cool stuff MS Office can do.

My youngest sister and I have been communicating quite extensively through texts and phone calls recently. A couple of days ago I told her to send me a text to my email address so I can put it in my email contacts. If I have a long message to compose I’d rather do it on my desktop or laptop keyboard than the phone.
She came back with “My phone can’t text to email.”
I said, “What message did it give you when you tried?”
No reply.

She has Verizon so today I googled Verizon, how to send text to email. It’s like this 5557981111@vtext.com. So I sent her an email text. She replied back pretty quickly and we’ve gone back and forth a few times.
I wanted to say, “Don’t look now but you’re sending texts to my email!”

So now I wonder if she even tried to do it? Does she just not have any curiosity? Is she afraid to try? I have the same questions about the sister who is a computer engineer….they get all scardy cat or something about it all. I don’t understand.
