People who take apparent pleasure in causing humiliation and torture to children. They also despise their pupils, unless they are the next sporting prodigy.
My sport teacher said I had to keep shooting at this basketball net until the ball went in. I sat there, my team getting more and more anrgy and taking the mick out of me, trying to get the stupid ball to go in, until my teacher, with an exasperated sigh said I could sit down. Most humiliating event of my life. Just because I'm not very good at it, no matter how hard I try, they still hate me for it. In other subjects, teachers help the dumb kids. Oh no, not in PE.

Get the Sport Teacher mug.A Canadian computer geek who obsesses over turning an already overkill PC into an RGB-lit mess that looks like the result of an experiment on unicorn barf. Some say his computer runs Minesweeper at max settings and can still pull off a steady 400 fps. Also has a YouTube channel where he creates tech videos.

Get the Lane Tech mug.This is a person who knows a little more than the average person about computers but not enough to truly be helpful. Usually someone who knows enough to be dangerous or harmful to a computer or it's software but never truly fix an issue.
These people "Pretend" to be valid, professional, well-trained techs. Their charges for services tend to be higher greater than normal because they are really not out to provide a service but only to provide you with a means of blowing your hard earned cash on repairs and replacements that were never needed to fix the original issue.

You can tell a true computer tech from a pretend-a-tech by presenting them with a computer that needs fixed.
A real computer tech will:
Fix the original issue
Also fix any other apparent issues
Clean and optimize the hard drive
Check for Updates & MORE!
All in 2 hours or less for under 150 bucks
A pretend-a-tech will:
Ignore the stated issues
Find several issues that never existed
Recommend that several pieces of hardware need replaced
Cause several issues to come up as a result of their fix
Charge you for 5+ hours of work and tell you that you need a new computer (which you could have bought for the cost of their "service")
You can also tell a pretend-a-tech by the amount of "big" computer words they try and drop in a sentence, real techs understand that all people don't know "techie" and will translate into english, pretend-a-techs will try to complicate their little speech so a rocket scientist couldn't understand what they were saying.
This is where they get you, most people decide at that point that they must know what they are talking about since they speak the language.
The only way to avoid a pretend-a-tech attack is to ask for an explanation in english, if the english explanation makes no sense then you might be in the midst of a pretend-a-tech.
