I'm a Linux software engineer and my in-laws always want me to fix their emails, troubleshoot their Windows driver problems, or work out why their printer is no longer working. Often all three on the same day. Its so difficult to explain to them I'm not "that kind" of computer guy.

What I'm saying is.. can you come to my in-laws house and do expectation management for me? I'm bad at that.

@flubba86 Yeah, it's actually fucking easier to come in and fix their printer or whatever.
