The Great Cable Extinction
Ah, the great cable simplification. We went from needing a toolbox full of serial, parallel, VGA, PS/2, and power connectors—each with their own special way of refusing to plug in correctly—to just USB-C. Sure, now we can power a monitor, transfer data, and charge a device with one cable... but we've traded 15 different cables for 15 different dongles. Progress, I guess? At least we can finally plug it in correctly on the third try instead of the fourth.

Python Networking Specialist: No Experience With Code Required
When your boss asks for a "Python networking specialist" but completely misunderstands the assignment. Somewhere in the server room, a literal python is slithering through the cables, probably thinking "I didn't sign up for this IT position, but I'm making it work." The snake's resume probably said "expert at handling multiple connections simultaneously" and "experienced in constricting problematic nodes." Bet the job posting didn't mention "must be comfortable in tight spaces with ethernet cables."

Ah yes, the legendary SATA cable marked "ASAP" - when your data transfer needs to happen yesterday. Nothing says "high priority computing" like a cable that's literally labeled with urgency. Somewhere, a sysadmin is nodding knowingly while muttering "faster than USB, slower than my patience." The irony of hardware that can't actually go any faster despite its desperate labeling is the silent scream of IT departments everywhere.
