The instant someone discovers you work with computers, their brain immediately jumps to "tech support wizard who can fix anything with a power button."

That smug face says it all: "I could drop all your tables with a single command, but I'm just gonna sip my cigarette and let you know your security is made of wet paper towels." The true power move isn't destroying everything—it's showing restraint when you absolutely don't have to.
