Users tend to hate them because they think that their problem is the most important in the universe.

Oh yes, everyone else should drop what they're doing because you requested the wrong software version or you forgot your password. Again.

they like to make fun of those who contact them because they think their problems are trivial/easy? and dont realize theyd be largely out of job if everyone knew how to use their computer properly?

Or after you let it expire after the system prompted you half a dozen times.

They really DO know everything but they pretend not to when it's not their job responsibility unless it's a chick asking for help. In that case, they think they're going to get laid for fixing their PC but they won't.

They have magic tools and abilities, they always know what you want to do and how to fix what the computer did. They know how to charm a computer, when you do something the computer acts completely differently, and yet when they do the same thing over and over it behaves as expected.

They have used all software ever conceived of since the existence of man and therefor know how to help you with ANY Software function (even if it is your job to know how to do it)

They have no lives beyond the computer and therefore it is ok to contact them whenever you feel a need, day or night.

If something goes wrong it is because they changed something.

No, the idiots are the ones that can't understand WHY we implement passwords that expire.
