Some people have this incredibly annoying habit of seeing anything remotely tech related as magic and they switch off their brain, assuming that they could never understand it.
Them: “My computer is broken”
Me:“Whats the issue?”
Them: “i dont know, i tried to open my email and its got some error message and wont open”
Me:" what does the error message say?"
Them:“err, cannot open email during update, please wait until update is complete”
Me:“is your email app updating?”
Them:"yes.
Me:“wait for it to finish and try again…”
(Obviously tbats not a real scenario, but im not good at examples and just wanted to get the general gist across)
IT tech here, lack of knowledge/skill does not bother me, lack of will to learn does.

My mother tried to print but got an error message. Instead of reading it, she called me. The printer told her it was out of paper 😐
That was something I got tired of saying, about error messages, “what do the words on the screen say?”
Yep, but it does give me job security though…
helping people with their problems is quite fun when they are interested
