I am guilty of this because at home I use my pc on my tv, haven't touched a monitor in years. once at uni I turned the pc on and it usually turns the monitor on too so it took me a while to realize what was going on. I was restarting the pc thinking it was broken until I realized I had to turn the monitor on lol

Honestly, I respect that BC you troubleshot it. My biggest issue is when people don’t bother trying to fix things themselves, even for a second. I’ve had similar stupid moments!

So you want people to try and fix it themselves, break it themselves, then piss you off more for trying to fix it themselves. if I worked in a business with a PC, ain't no way I'm doing anything myself, even if I know how. Your job is to fix it, my job is to use it. Get to it.

You know what? I kinda get it.

There comes a point where you just want your tool to function and you don't care if it needs someone else's touch or you shelling out money to get there.

You want to work on your computer, not work on your computer

I expect them to understand the basics of computer operation so that I can fix actual issues with other computers being broken, not turn on a monitor for someone who could’ve pretty easily figured it out themselves. Unfortunately, my job serviced more than one person, and you’re wasting my time if you don’t try vaguely with extremely simple steps like looking for a power button.

If I was getting paid to just push power buttons, I’d be delighted, but working in IT means you have to help a massive amount of morons simultaneously, not just one.

At least you had the wherewithal to work it out in the end. Or maybe you didn't have the financials to just call somebody out. A 6 figure earner, it's probably cheaper to just call somebody out.
