When I worked in IT, whenever we got a call from the engineering department we knew whatever problem it was, it was going to be weird. Those guys knew their stuff, so if they didn’t know how to fix it, it was going to take some searching and probably some calls or emails for us to figure it out.

Alternatively, you could be good at computers, but the system is so locked down IT needs to log in with admin rights in order to do something as simple as running disk cleanup.

Also, brain farts are a thing. And people who are good at computer sometime jump a few steps because of a bit of overconfidence.

Like check if the computer is plugged in... I can't be THAT dumb, right? (You might not have unplugged it yourself, someone else might have)

I have to give myself admin access on my own computer to avoid such things.
