    I usually see the reverse. People who work with computers making every effort NOT to need to help.

    My favorite is a friend who does techsupport for a datacenter. He always asks “wait, this computer you’re having trouble with, can you lift it? Would you say it’s smaller than your fridge? Oh, sorry, then I can’t help you”

      I haven’t troubleshot windows in years. I fix switches, firewalls, Linux, and some mac issues.

      Its like I can’t fix a BMW or Audi but can still work on other cars.

        My friend doesn’t know his linux password, and can’t download anything without it. But he is too impatient to figure out how to reset it. While I am stubborn and will sit at my computer till i fix an audio issue, or any problem I have.
