IT Guys Listening To Non IT People Talk About Computers
You know that look. The one where you're physically present but mentally calculating how many years of your life you've lost listening to someone explain that their computer is "broken" because they haven't tried turning it off and on again. Or when they call the monitor "the computer" and the actual tower "the hard drive." Or when they say their internet is down but they just closed the browser window. It's not anger. It's not even frustration anymore. It's transcendence. You've reached a zen-like state where you can smile and nod while internally screaming into the void. Every fiber of your being wants to correct them, but you've learned that explaining the difference between RAM and storage for the fifteenth time won't help. They'll still download more RAM next week.

This is exactly what happens when someone takes "computer recognition" a bit too literally. And they wonder why tech support drinks heavily.
