This mom apparently takes photocopies of recipes on her iPad and you know what? It's good.

What, do you want her to get food all over the $1,000 thing? Relax.

iPads: easy to use, annoying to carry around.

A redditor with the username devillius uploaded an image something they claim their mom does frequently: makes photocopies of recipes on her iPad instead of just carrying it around.

Sure, the iPad is a mobile device and this mom could easily just carry the iPad to the kitchen and look at the recipe there. But you know what? This is good.

You don't want to get an iPad dirty or damaged — it costs more than most used cars. Also, as many on reddit have pointed out, connecting an iPad to a printer takes roughly 16 years of labor.

In closing, this is good. Photocopy this article from your iPad if you agree.
