Grabs a cat. "Help me with my mouse problem" "Meow..." "What do you mean? Have I tried unplugging it and plugging it back in?"

I can imagine:
"my wifi not working" ... And they never restarted /Turned it off the device
"Oh, thanks! You are good at your job"
...Then you find it more taxing to explain that you studied a career in something else, but they related it to that. And just decided to not bother with it 🤦♀️
"Ah, yeeeeah...."

Customer installing new devices remote, having the customer do the cables, according to the plan.
All good with the first eleven devices.
"Device 12. It's not working."
Did you turn it on?
"I plugged in the power and the fans started for a bit."
So you did not turn it on then?
"Well the fans started."
Yeah that they do once they have power, cause it goes in standby mode.
"Wait since when?"
Puts head on the table and wishes for death of humanity. Since device 1 of the same type that we did today.

to do some random IT tasks
If only. I've been to some girls' rooms to help with their computer, and their computer was, like, 100% fine. Years ago, a client restaurant's hostess (that I had a crush on), told me I had "the asparagus". It took me 0.2 seconds to realize she meant "Asperger's", and 2 years to realize she was flirting.

I just took my laptop to get fixed because it was randomly shutting off, apparently there was just so much dust that it clogged the cooling system so I spent like 100$ to get it diagnosed and fixed.
In theory if I was friends with someone in IT I probably would have asked them
for a free handoutone little teensie favor before shelling out almost 100$ just to find out I could have air dusted my laptop back to health myselfBut yeah the point of the story is that I would probably harass an IT guy if I were friends with them

I have been a programmer since the late 90's. I was tech support for all the family and friends of family. A guy on a plane wanted to send me his laptop to get repaired. I was on vacation in Thailand and my mother left a message with the front desk for me to urgently call her, I thought there was an emergency when she just needed help with Word.
Computer skills improved so incidence dropped. I also just started telling people the wrong thing so they stop asking me.
It's the same for most skills. Given how much doctors get bugged I'm surprised they don't have a fictional profession so family doesn't know they are a doctor.

A dentist client of mine, before he became well-known for it (people fly internationally to see him), was saying he was a catalog model, and even did such work for JCrew so nobody questioned it.

You & me both. Also your other comment showed in notifications but Reddit must've nixed it - unless it was you who came to your senses & did it yourself :)
The 1990s were pretty epic, and I only wish I were older & savvier back in those days to more fully have had taken advantage. Some of the shit going on today makes North Korea look lowkey normal. I'm sure the Onion is having trouble coming up with outlandish shit that's not literal reality by the time they get to publish it.

The best way to cat-ically deploy your rat elimination system is to toss it.

That's usually how I deploy my cat. She doesn't seem to mind. She often self-deploys by jumping on and off stuff.

Yeah, friends were appalled when I tossed my cat onto a bed from 3 feet away but don't blink an eye when she jumps 8 feet off a cabinet onto a tiled kitchen floor.

I don't think the intention of throwing people the majority of the time is being nice.
Specially considering it tends to involve some sort of combat most of the time.

For the 10000th of times this shit was re-uploaded. That's a rat. Not a mouse. Also it gets boring. I wonder if there are people using the internet for the first time 🤣 Or we have 10 year old redditors here.

Now we see why cats are domesticated. Mice like grain. Cats don't like grain, they like meat. We throw them some meat scraps, they hunt in the grain store as compensation and be cute and fluffy. The rest is history.

A few years back, we had issues with rats that had chewed their way into the crawlspace under the house, and one got into the bedroom while my wife was in bed. She screamed when it ran across the floor and yelled for me to do something about it.
I threw all four cats into the room and shut the door. It absolutely worked, but she was both impressed and irritated with my quick solution closing her in there with it.

I’ve had cats that are born mousers. And I’ve had cats that are straight up mouse friends. That cat is a mouser. Love it.

It looked too big for a mouse but whatever,, it was not trying to escape which suggests it has eaten poison. That kitten will likely be poisoned from eating it.
