The eternal curse of being a developer - mention your job at a social gathering and suddenly you're tech support. Guy proudly announces he's a Full Stack Developer, and within seconds, he's being asked to fix a printer. The final panel showing him pulling a gun is just the mental breakdown every dev experiences when someone thinks "I build complex web applications" means "I know why your printer is making that weird noise." Printers remain the final boss that no amount of JavaScript frameworks can defeat.

The eternal struggle of being the "tech person" in the family. First you're desperately trying to explain that programming skills don't magically transfer to printer repair, then five seconds later you're elbow-deep in printer parts because—let's face it—you actually can fix it. Not because of any programming knowledge, but because you've developed the sacred debugging mindset after years of staring at error messages that might as well say "something's wrong lol good luck." The real programming skill is knowing how to Google the right question while maintaining the illusion that you're doing something complicated.

The eternal tech support paradox strikes again! Every programmer has experienced that moment of internal conflict. First comes the righteous indignation: "I write code, I don't fix printers!" Then the pause... because let's face it, we do know how to fix that printer. Not because our CS degree covered "Advanced Printer Troubleshooting 101," but because we've spent years debugging cryptic error messages and reading obscure documentation. The printer is just another poorly designed system waiting to be conquered. We'll fix it, but we'll be silently judging the manufacturer's UI choices the entire time.

The moment you mention you "work with computers," your entire extended family suddenly transforms into a horde of technological zombies with broken printers and forgotten passwords. It's like being the only doctor at a hypochondriac convention, except instead of asking if that mole looks cancerous, it's "Why is my Facebook doing that thing?" What thing? THE thing. You know. THAT thing. And they all expect immediate tech support during Thanksgiving dinner while your turkey gets cold and your will to live evaporates faster than RAM in a Chrome tab.
