Social expectations Memes

Programmers sliding into the abyss of tech support requests. First it's "can you fix my laptop?" (manageable), then "I have an app idea" (danger zone), followed by the inevitable "can you hack Facebook?" (full-on nightmare). The slide represents the slippery slope of being the "computer person" in any social circle. Once people know you code, you're suddenly expected to be part IT helpdesk, part startup incubator, and part cyber criminal. No, Karen, knowing how to write a for-loop doesn't mean I can retrieve your ex's private messages.

The ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE of being a programmer in public! One second you're innocently sliding down the playground, and BOOM—suddenly you're bombarded with tech support requests, million-dollar app ideas, and casual requests to commit federal crimes! 💀 The audacity of people thinking "programmer" means "free IT department, startup incubator, and hacker-for-hire" all rolled into one! Next time someone asks you to "just hack Facebook real quick," remember that prison orange is NOT your color, sweetie!

That moment when someone learns you're in "computer science" and immediately assumes you're tech support. Sure, I can reverse a binary tree, implement a neural network, and debug race conditions, but no, I have absolutely no idea why your laptop makes that weird clicking sound. I mean, I could look at it, but that would set a dangerous precedent where I become everyone's personal Geek Squad. My algorithm for handling these requests is simple: blank stare, slight smirk, change subject.
