Wannabe Geek

This post is for the group of people who are gathered at the coffee shop throwing around computer terms.

YOU ARE NOT GEEKS. QUIT TRYING TO PRETEND YOU KNOW WHAT THE HELL YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT!

That has to be one of my biggest pet peeves. People who throw around computer acronyms and fancy sounding computer terms but do not know what the hell they are talking about. "But does the program install spyware. Becuase you know all the programs keep installing the spyware stuff on my system." Good lord, I wanted to jam my laptop down her throat. And then there is this guy. "So I had this laptop upstairs in my room. And my dad was on his computer down stairs. And I hacked into his system. You know I remotely logged into his system. Then I printed on his screen, 'I can see what you are printing....'. And he was totally freaked." Oh my god... I wish I was making this up. The other four people are staring at him like he was this super-uber duper computer god. If only my headphone cord was strong enough to string him up and hang him from the rafters.

Wow, this really has me pretty pissed. I just can't stand when people think that they know how to turn on a computer and now they are computer geeks. Do you know how long it takes to truly be a real computer geek? It takes years... and even then not everyone can be a computer geek. It's in your nature. Your born with the calling of a computer geek. You can't just be one becuase you like the way it sounds. These posers are giving us real geeks a bad name and I'm sick and tired of putting up with their fake shit.

Ok, now I feel better. I had to get that off my chest. And the geek that I am... you know I had to blog this instead of just say it out loud. Now the whole Internet can be aware of the fake posers running around acting like computer geeks. I'm thinking of forming a posse, who wants in?
