The Tech Support Nightmare

The eternal tech support nightmare captured in six panels. Non-technical person asks if you're "good with computers," then immediately demands impossible magic like putting MP3s in a watch and talk radio with Frank Sinatra. When you try explaining the technical limitations, they just scream "DRAG AND DROP! DRAG AND DROP!" as if that's the universal solution to all computing problems. The perfect encapsulation of why programmers develop eye twitches when relatives call for "quick computer help."

My Trust In File Saving Commands

The chart perfectly illustrates the eternal struggle of every coder who's lost hours of work to the void. That towering orange bar represents our unwavering faith in the magical ":w" command in Vim to write our changes to disk. Meanwhile, that pathetic purple stub shows how much we actually trust "ctrl+s" to save our work in other editors. Nothing quite matches the existential dread of hitting ctrl+s and wondering if it really saved or if your changes will vanish into the digital abyss. At least with Vim's :w command, you get that reassuring "written" confirmation that your precious 3-hour debugging session won't disappear when your cat inevitably knocks over your coffee onto your power strip.
