This feels like a weird boomer troll thread so I don't know why I'm replying but yes
There are numerous TikToks where normies re-enact (and embellish) their interactions with IT, they are portrayed as stand-offish, condescending and sometimes smug.
i didn't mean that as a jab against you
and yes, it guys don't tend to be the most socially adjusted either
like i'm aware that that people facing stupid customers just fake it, and i try, but i'm just not as good at it, it's really, really hard to not come off as a bit condescending when helping someone with the dumbest of tasks on a machine they've used for this same kind of work for years, i just can't help but think how they haven't learned anything at all about how to use a computer. this isn't the 80's, this isn't new technology
to me it's akin to not knowing what the dial tones mean on a phone or something, like how haven't you picked this up yet, you use it every day
>Thankfully I'm not customer/user facing anymore. Salute to all the anons who have to put up with the never ending bullshit.
The condescending hatred for users/clients is not the least bit unique to IT, it seems to be the general attitude of professionals who have to do support work and engange directly with clients, be it car mechanics, teachers, venders etc.
The only inaccuracy is that they are paying attention to the IT guy.
Yes. That's why you give women the ick.
Yes

Or y'know, IT Crowd, Grandma's Boy, etc
I always thought more akin to mages. But I skipped the whole IT step and just view them as bored people wishing hell would end for the day.
This is how I see the IT department whenever I have to submit a ticket.
no, I met my current gf at work while working as an IT guy and get hit on a lot by the girls who work here, especially the girls in accounting and copywriting. but I'm also 6'3" and fit.
just be tall and smell good and ladies will flock to you. when I'm at the store girls will literally ram into me and say "omg! so sorry! i was looking at my phone!" even though they aren't holding their phone
You don't have to be tall if you're a billionaire so choose whichever route is easier for you.

The good news is that it's over no matter what, so it's not any more over for you than it is for anyone else.
of course not. he's the guy who fixes printers and shit. people look up and suck up to the guy (when needed), otherwise they just ignore him.
if the it guy is a douche, people tolerate him because printers.

lets see you keep your professional tone the 20th time someone asks for a password reset within the same day
Sorry I didn't mean to defend the normies, I fit the stereotype.
I'm very antisocial and my manager 'shields' users from me because my 'soft skills' are poor.
Thankfully I'm not customer/user facing anymore. Salute to all the anons who have to put up with the never ending bullshit.

'course, at the same time, it is job security, so i'm not really complaining about it, it just amazes me
