I remember when I started out in '88 - working as a programmer but having to do all the PC support too.
Some woman came down with a floppy, said it didn't work...
I put it in my drive and there was this horrible churning sound.
I took it out, looked at her and asked "did anything happen to this disk?".
"Well - I did spill a cup of tea on it".

Other people dream of having a cook or a maid.
I dream of having my own IT guy who I can call and just say "fix my computer."

a nice one I remember:
Her ".. I reinstalled windows. Now I can't find my files anymore. Do you know where they are?"
Me "Well, as you only have one hard drive, they're gone."
Her "Oh.. I understand." (Obviously she didn't because her words were: )
Her "Can't you hack my PC and bring them back or sth like that?"
Me "Actually no, I can't, sorry."
Her "Then why didn't you tell me I had to put them somewhere else??"
Me "BECAUSE YOU NEVER TOLD ME THAT YOU ARE SUDDENLY GOING TO DELETE YOUR WHOLE HARD DRIVE!"
Her ".. but I mentioned my PC was somehow slow last week, DIDN'T I?"
Me " "

I love how because I build websites / apps / online marketing, everyone expects me to be able to fix their computer when they get a virus from looking at too much porn, get a blue screen of death, or their hard drive takes a dump.

This is great @Big Mike . My parents are exactly like that. They both are getting a copy of this in their email box.
Thanks for sharing,
