You ride the short bus

I really don’t want to talk to you about how cool your stupid computer is. I work on computers all day, and don’t really care that you just bought a new Geforce video card or setup a wireless network all by yourself. Would you walk up to an accountant and say, “Dude, I did my taxes last week. Pretty cool huh?” Or talk to a clothing designer and say, “Hey, check it out. I got dressed all by myself today”. They don’t want to hear about it, and neither do I. If you have an intelligent question, I’m all ears. If you want to ask me how my day was, or what I do for a living that’s fine. But don’t assume that just because I’m an IT guy that I just can’t wait to talk to you about how your brother just got this new awesome system. All it does is put me in a bad spot.
Mr Bitter IT Guy thinking to himself: Should I tell this guy he’s a complete moron and has no idea what he’s talking about, or should I just let him keep blubbering about how he and his buddy spent all last weekend building their own computer from scratch.
I don’t care. I’ve done that a million times. It’s not cool to me. You ride the short bus to computer class. Next time why don’t you just tell the bus driver to drop you off at the nearest Kinder Care so you can talk about computers with someone on your own level.
