    If this is a situation you relate with, you might be an arrogant asshole.

    I help people all the time with computer related issues, and they love that I do that. None of them give me the stink eye, and I never judge them or think they’re idiots for not being specialized in general computing.

      I mean, you have a bit of a point, they’re not exactly idiots even if they seem that way, but I definitely get the stink eye. You must know a lot of nice people.

      I decided to make a career change into IT (didn’t stick). When I was working the other employees were just other people trying to make ends meet and I never judged them for, like you said, not being specialized in general computing. I did however judge some of the other admins for their decisions and attitudes. It was so weird being an “admin” and this being told I’m “above” the general employees.
