No, most definitely not. Mostly considering I'm on help desk to help those that need IT assistance.

Lol I do it all for them. It's just easier.
I have a boomer boss and he has a hard time with email. He also didn't know how to zoom in when taking a picture.
So completely forget excel.
It's maddening.
Although, I started to theorize that since computers work with magnetic fields, and humans can affect those fields, perhaps some people just break shit being around it.
I started thinking this when, one day, a friend of mine who just had a shit time with computers came over and needed to do something on my computer. I told him exactly what to do, and he did it. Shit didn't work. Huh? I watch him do it again, exactly as I told him. Doesn't work. WTF? Lemme try. Do the same exact thing but this time it works.
Shit, man, I guess it just doesn't like you. 🤷🏻♂️
No. Computers are hard. Especially if they aren't built for you.
Not with friends, but co-workers? I work in IT so you bet I fucking do.
No, but I work in IT. I’m surrounded by stupid every day. Either you learn to live with it or you find a different career
