I help people all the time with computer related issues, and they love that I do that. None of them give me the stink eye, and I never judge them or think they're idiots for not being specialized in general computing.

I mean, you have a bit of a point, they're not exactly idiots even if they seem that way, but I definitely get the stink eye. You must know a lot of nice people.

I relate more to the alien in the first panel, and not at all to the second.

I decided to make a career change into IT (didn't stick). When I was working the other employees were just other people trying to make ends meet and I never judged them for, like you said, not being specialized in general computing. I did however judge some of the other admins for their decisions and attitudes. It was so weird being an "admin" and this being told I'm "above" the general employees.

Do you think the normies looking at the IT guy as an alien are the assholes, or only the IT guy who perceives them as cavemen?
