When they get the bill too

we, electrical engineers, sometimes have to explain this to friends and family
  • Computer scientists explaining they’re not necessarily good with IT
  • Electrical engineers explaining they can’t necessarily do electrical work

Any others?

I work in I.T. on servers all day. I’m not always the best with endpoints/printers/home computers/etc.
Anyone who works in IT supposedly knows and cares which laptop someone should get. I have no idea. Get a Thinkpad off eBay and install Linux like I do doesn’t seem to fly.
