Tech support Memes

Engineering forums in their natural habitat. Someone asks a detailed, thoughtful question about wireless protocols and the mod's entire response is just "google." The digital equivalent of a professor writing "see textbook" on your 3-page question. Twenty years of engineering education and experience distilled into a single dismissive word. The beautiful irony is that if the poster had just googled "why are engineers so insufferably condescending," they'd have found this exact thread as the top result.

The moment you learn Ohm's Law and suddenly your family thinks you can resurrect their decade-old washing machine from the dead! Electrical Engineering students know the pain—one minute you're calculating circuit impedance, the next you're expected to be some appliance necromancer with a multimeter wand. Parents don't realize that fixing their washing machine is like asking a first-year med student to perform brain surgery... with a spoon! *frantically flips through textbook* "Chapter 1: How to avoid electrocution" isn't quite enough preparation for this family tech support role!
