T'was nice to read it again :D You won't believe it, but I also have family members who do that with me :P To try and explain that I can't possibly know why Word crashes whenever the spacebar, CTRL & F2 keys are pressed simultaneously - when Microsoft don't even know the reason? And then you get that stare which insinuates that you don't want to help them. *sigh* LOL, I remember reading this when you first wrote it. T’was nice to read it again :D

I can relate to just about everyhing you said! I experienced the relatives and friends of friends expecting free tech-support, my mother proudly butting in and best of all the family member who thinks "he's down with it"!! As you said: "Just because my knowledge isn’t tangible does not make it yours to abuse" I will be adopting this same approach from here on in. Excellent post Rush!

I see that stereotyping in all trades. I am a Plumbing, Heating and air-conditioner service technician. But I have been called "toilet guy" by secretaries upon my arrival. I have been called "heat man" and many other stupid titles. Do you know I make 29 bucks an hour and some secretary who is only concerned about her nails, demeans me, unknowingly. I have so many years of class and hands-on training for my job, and do I truly care? no, I look at my bank account in comparison to some 10 dollars an hour desk jockey, and I smile.
