As a bonus, when they’re explaining it the fourth time it suddenly makes sense a quarter of the way through and you find yourself lacking the patience to listen to the additional explanation which you requested.

Me in every thread that gets bombarded with IT guys talking about extremely specific technical problems on any article that dares mention a technology developed after the cotton gin.

“A man was crushed to death by a vending machine while trying to get it to accept a credit card…”

The thread: ok but those old BGT models had real CNTA problems and the network was trash. He’s lucky he wasn’t killed when the Arduino suddenly exploded like on the ASPA models

And I’m like the only guy wondering what language that was

Lol this is me earlier today reading about a new vulnerability. Idk if it was me or them or both but all I saw were a lot of words that didn’t form into anything in my mind.

My favorite is when I ask a question and then am too busy thinking to pay attention to the answer, so I either have to ask again, or just guess

“yep, umhmm,” “wow, that’s crazy,” “omg, that’s so interesting,” “no way!”

I can totally relate to this. My wife gets so frustrated with me when it happens. LOL. I just shrug and say sorry, can you repeat that again! 😒
