Never Fails: The Accidental IT Department
The eternal paradox of being a programmer. You spend years mastering complex algorithms and data structures, only to become the default IT support person at every family gathering.

Someone's Snitching On IT's Secret Weapon
The AUDACITY of IT support being EXPOSED like this! 💀 First, we have the smug satisfaction of watching IT professionals struggle with the EXACT SAME PROBLEM you're having - validating that you're not just some clueless user. Then BAM! The betrayal in the comments! Your precious IT hero confessing they just Googled the solution on Reddit! The DRAMA! The SCANDAL! It's like finding out your therapist is actually reading from a self-help book they bought at the airport. And yet... isn't this the circle of tech life? Users pretending they tried everything, IT pretending they know everything, and Reddit silently solving everyone's problems behind the scenes. The tech support ecosystem thriving on collective denial!
