My grandma was Scottish but she was like that. She eventually learned but, when I was a kid she'd always have me or my sister or cousins dial for her because my grandpa had always done it for her. I'm pretty sure she always knew how, I think she just didn't want to or like doing it. She'd always make this big act about how it was too hard to figure out though, would make attempts at dialling, dial the wrong number a bunch then tell us to do it but it always seemed like she was just doing it on purpose.
