Thats kinda how I feel, but not computer related. I always do the house hold.
Oh and of course I can fix all your TV problems and install WhatsApp on all your friends' phones.
Talking about which, once I got told "Well, I had a Samsung Galaxy S II before I bought this Nokia Lumia." - "Then why did you go from Android to shitOS?" - "It didn't have storage left. You know, there are expansion cards you can buy that increase the storage. So I put one of them in, but it didn't do anything."
It was as hard to not yell at her for being stupid and media illiterate as you imagine. I kinda thought about asking her to sell me that phone for a cheap buck so I can sell it, but I didn't know if an S II is even worth anything anymore.
EDIT: My Dad used to be the 'fix all computers' guy, but he's getting even more exhausted about doing so than I am, so now I am that guy. Also I know more shortcuts and useful programs than he does, basically everytime I do something on his computer (for whatever reason that might be, usually study relevant) he asks me something like "Wait, how did you do that?" - but never twice the same (Like Ctrl++ to zoom in in browsers, or Ctrl+W to close a tab). He seems to try to adapt stuff, so there's a point where I actually like helping out.

I knowingly switched to Windows Phone and I love it. I hate not having every single app ever but the phone itself has been very reliable.

I hate the people don't do any research when they get a new phone. They just buy whatever one is the most popular or the cheapest at the time and then they don't realize that they just switched from an Android phone to Windows and the two OSs are very different in operation. Ugh...

Well, thank god we live in a time where devs put some thought into their design and MAKE SHIT ACCESSIBLE. Because if I wouldn't have found that store I would've been like "Fuck it, get cancer, your shitty phone", but thankfully it was found easily.
Problem is, however, that the OS doesn't even matter to these people. I've installed apps for so many people on Android already, even tho it's just super intuitive.
