    The amount of times people told me this when I worked IT support, and crossed over to see them on-site, and restarted their machine myself, and found it suddenly magically started working…

    I’m not saying they lied, but the ‘IT Support Aura’ may be a genuine thing. Like the computer is afraid of getting scrapped so it quickly starts working.

      Also the thing where you try and show the problem to any other person and it starts working just to make you look dumb. Me and my SO do that all the time: “This thing isn’t working, I know you don’t know how to fix it but can you come over and look at it not working so it’ll work?” And I’d say at least 50% of the time it does lol
