The IT Guy Curse Is Real
You know you've made it in tech when your family treats you like a walking tech support hotline. Relatives casually asking "Aren't you a programmer?" gets a polite "Yes." But the moment someone needs their printer fixed or wants to break into Mark Zuckerberg's account, suddenly you're Usain Bolt at the Olympics. The best part? They think programming = hacking Facebook = fixing their virus-riddled laptop from 2009. Meanwhile, you're a backend developer who hasn't touched Windows in 5 years and wouldn't know how to "hack Facebook" if your life depended on it. But try explaining that at Thanksgiving dinner. Pro tip: Next time just tell them you only code in Haskell and watch their eyes glaze over. Problem solved.

I Think He Meant On The Keyboard
Classic case of malicious compliance meets tech support hell. The IT guy gives the most basic instruction known to mankind: "press any button to continue." But instead of hitting a key like a normal person, our protagonist goes straight for the nuclear option—the power button. Because technically, it IS a button, right? The IT guy's horrified expression says it all. You can practically hear the internal screaming as he watches years of unsaved work, running processes, and probably some critical database transactions vanish into the void. Should've been more specific with those instructions, buddy. In tech support, ambiguity is your worst enemy. Pro tip: Always specify "press any key on the keyboard" because users will find the most creative ways to interpret your instructions. And if you're wondering, no, there is no "Any" key—that's a different classic problem entirely.
