Cable Management Be Like
The universal law of cable management: what's visible must be immaculate, what's hidden can resemble a nest built by drunk squirrels. The PSU shroud, that magical black box where cable sins go to die. It's like wearing a tuxedo to a meeting while your underwear drawer looks like it survived a hurricane. Priorities.

I Got This... Just Let Me Restart It
The universal IT solution that works 60% of the time, every time: turning it off and on again. Nothing quite matches that smug confidence when you stroll into a meeting after "fixing" a critical system by simply hitting restart. Meanwhile, actual IT support people are chasing you down like "WAIT! We need to check the logs first!" Too late. I've already ascended to tech hero status with my sophisticated troubleshooting technique that dates back to the stone age of computing.

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."

I Won't Let You Go
That ancient Windows 98 laptop begging for sweet release while its buff owner refuses to let go is the perfect metaphor for corporate IT. Somewhere, right now, a critical banking system is running on this exact machine because "it still works fine" and "upgrading might break something." The same people who rush to buy the latest smartphone are forcing this poor machine to run another day. It's not vintage—it's technological torture.

Nope, I Can't Help You There
The duality of every programmer when family asks for tech support. First panel: confident, top-hat wearing gentleman pondering a printer issue like it's beneath his intellectual capacity. Second panel: same gentleman gleefully announcing "NOT A CLUE!" with the enthusiasm of someone escaping a trap. Third panel: the crushing realization that he's now obligated to try anyway because he's "the computer person." Being able to build microservices architecture doesn't mean I know why your printer is making that weird grinding noise. It's like asking a neurosurgeon to fix your kitchen sink because "you're a doctor, right?"

When Customer Logic Defies All Reason
Oh. My. GOD! The AUDACITY of this customer! 😱 McCafe is over here spreading coffee joy with their "three cheers to a bright morning" tweet, and then BOOM! 💥 Some random person barges in with the most unhinged non sequitur: "I buy your product & my PC still has virus." This is the EPITOME of tech support hell! The cosmic disconnect between coffee and computer viruses is EXACTLY what every IT person deals with daily. Like, honey, your caramel macchiato and malware have LITERALLY NOTHING to do with each other! But try explaining that to someone who thinks the coffee company should fix their laptop! 🤦‍♀️

Can You Fix My Printer?
The AUDACITY of people when they discover you work in tech! 💻 One second you're having a nice conversation, the next they're asking you to resurrect their ancient printer from the digital graveyard. Like, honey, I write code that makes websites pretty - I don't perform NECROMANCY on your possessed HP LaserJet from 2003! The way that doctor YEETED that clipboard is exactly how I feel when someone says "but you're good with computers" after I explain I can't fix their hardware. The emotional DAMAGE is real!

The Supposed "Microsoft Support" Whenever You Have A Problem
Ah yes, the classic Microsoft support experience. You spend 3 hours troubleshooting a critical Windows issue, finally break down and post on the forums, and some "verified support engineer" with 2 posts to their name suggests running SFC /SCANNOW - the digital equivalent of "have you tried turning it off and on again?" It's the universal band-aid that fixes absolutely nothing 99% of the time, but they'll make you run it anyway before offering any actual help. Nothing says "I have no idea what's wrong with your system" quite like prescribing the Windows equivalent of chicken soup for every ailment from a missing DLL to a complete kernel meltdown.

Read-Only Friday: When Bugs Attack
The unwritten law of software development: Friday is sacred ground where no code shall be deployed. Yet there they are—the bugs—armed and ready to ruin your weekend plans like some skeletal terminator from your coding nightmares. Every developer knows the existential dread of that Slack notification at 4:30 PM on Friday. "Hey, just a quick fix needed in production." And suddenly you're huddled in the corner, praying to the git gods that your emergency hotfix doesn't cascade into a weekend-consuming disaster. The irony? The more desperately you want that read-only Friday, the more aggressively the bugs seem to materialize. It's like they can smell your weekend plans.

The One Drive Experience
Microsoft OneDrive in its natural habitat: disappearing when you need it, reappearing when you don't. It's like that coworker who vanishes during crunch time but shows up immediately for free pizza. The cloud giveth, and the cloud taketh away – usually right before that important presentation. Classic Microsoft reliability... just slightly less predictable than a Windows update restart.

The Reluctant Tech Support Hero
The eternal paradox of being a programmer: telling people you can't fix their printer, then fixing it anyway because of course you can. It's like saying you're not a doctor while performing open-heart surgery with a Swiss Army knife. The truth is, we've all mastered the arcane ritual of turning it off and on again—a skill mysteriously absent from 90% of the human population. Printers specifically exist in a quantum state of both working and not working until observed by someone with technical knowledge, at which point they suddenly behave perfectly.

The Miracle Before Christmas
The rarest cryptid in tech: a functional Windows troubleshooter. After 15 years in the industry, I've seen unicorns, competent project managers, and code that works on the first try—but a Windows troubleshooter that actually fixes something? That's the stuff of legend. The comment is pure gold though. Using your one Christmas miracle on Windows fixing itself is like using a genie's wish to get an extra napkin. Next they'll tell us printers connected on the first try.
