printerpilgrimage
/ˈprɪntə ˈpɪlɡrɪmɪdʒ/nounVerified NewAlso in: Druckerwallfahrt (Deutsch) · impresperegrino (Español) · imprimélerinage (Français)
The ritual journey home to repair the parents' printer, WiFi, or phone, undertaken at every visit.
The printerpilgrimage is scheduled by the parents for the last day of the visit so it cannot be refused. Its liturgy includes sighing, restarting, and the phrase "who installed this?" The pilgrimage ends with the problem half-fixed and the promise of a remote session that will never occur.
Etym. — printer + pilgrimage — the recurring devotional journey to a device that will not be saved.
