So, here's my experiences, that I can come to think of now:
 
- After I've fixed a computer for a friend or relative, they always blame me for every future problem.
- Two guys were talking in an MMORPG I used to play, and one of them said that he overclocked his hard drive and his computer is now more than twice as fast.
- Whenever I tell someone that I like computers and technology, they always assume I just post stuff on Facebook and play Farmville all day long.
- My mom freak out every time an email from someone she doesn't know, slips through the spam filter and end up in her inbox. Something worth mentioning is that she use hotmail, so she freaks out a lot.
 
Edit: fixed the formatting.

so this one time I was hanging out with my friend who is the manager at a tech shop by where I live and a girl comes in and buys a 2tb hard drive. we let her know that we install hard drives for $1 (the cost of the sata cable we use) and she says "just because I am a woman does not mean I cant work on computers" and leaves in a huff. two days later she comes back in saying that the HDD is not working so we take the computer in to look at it, we open it and the HDD is nowhere to be seen, so we ask her where it is. and it turns out that she scanned it and put the scanned image on her desktop to install the drive. and to top that off she threw away the drive she paid almost $200 for and she wanted us to give her a new one.

I don't really have an example except that when I go to the apple store with my gf, because her phone broke again, I would look around for the noobie and mess with him/her. I would also like to add that I do not think some of the employees should be called geniuses lol. Anyone else enjoy doing this?

The latest for me, is my mother calling me to ask why her computer mouse doesn't work (while shouting that it's a piece of crap and what not), when I get there, I find she managed to plug the USB mouse in the Ethernet port of her laptop.. Couldn't help facepalming in front of her.

Them - "hey I need advice on buying a computer"
Me - "sure id be happy to help you pick something out or ill build a great computer for you"
*week later*
Them - "yeah, i just decided to buy a computer from Best Buy"
Me "......................."

Dude exactly! or I try to tell them to buy a cheap laptop if they want to game, because they heat up easy and just build a PC with the money you would save from buying a gaming laptop.

Ehm. Im in USA but i will play if you want :L
