Because I'm in IT I know everything there is to know about computers, and in general anything that is electronic.

Really, I don't know crap about cell phones and don't care too, seriously. I don't know if such and such brand of laptop will be good for your college kid, I don't care what processor it has, or if it's fast, buy as much memory and disk as you can afford, leave me alone, I really don't care. I'm actually telling you it's really good stuff just so you'll leave me alone.

Just because you see me at the computer store on a Saturday means that you can introduce me to your husband and help him choose a new printer for his home office. Ok, yes, I wouldn't buy that printer. Why? It's crap and you probably can't find a toner for it when the first one runs out. "But it's on sale!" then buy it, why are you arguing with me on a saturday in a computer store!

I have 500 of you stupid people and 1200 devices to keep running all day long every day of the f'n year, I really don't want to screw with anything outside 8am-5pm and not get paid for it.

Yes, I could fix your home computer that is trashed with viruses, but the reason you want me to work on it is because I'm $180 cheaper than geek squad. Not happening, call geek squad, I'm ahead on time and money this way and it's fun to hear you bitch about the cost of geek squad all next week while I laugh at you.

I could go on and on... good thread.
