"So what do you do?"
"I am a software engineer"

3 most frequent conversation routes

1. "I have some great app ideas maybe you could help me..."
2. "My computer/phone crashes frequently, what is wrong with it?..."
3. "so how many software/games/mobile apps have you developed?..."

1. But I'm looking for a technical co-founder and not looking to hire.
2. What do you mean what does it say? It just doesn't work.
3. I see.. cool cool. Can you hack Facebook?

*parent on phone*: the internet is not working.

*me*: have you tried turning it off and on again? (silent laughter for the it crowd reference)

*parent*: no

-- five minutes and a router reboot later..

*parent*: it's still not working.

*me*: then you need to call the providers helpdesk.

And this happened 10-ish times before they stopped calling me for help with the internet connection.

It's like people don't understand, I'm a developer, I create, I don't fix.

"so you're making websites?"

"How can I change my facebook account password "
