When they want to whine and moan about how confusing technology is/has gotten and how much they hate it instead of just explaining the difficulty and what they might have tried to resolve it?

Yeah wish I got paid like a therapist for those. They'd get real succinct real fast lol.

I told people I love helping people but many of my "clients" wanted to score immediate points by coming to the "computer guy" to rant about how they hate technology for the next hour.

Imagine how that would go over at other professions. "This thing you work on and would be willing to explain if I'd listen for a second? I hate it. Let me tell you why. Please help when I'm finally out of breath thanks."

I'm sure the vet or a plumber would love this. Your mechanic especially. /s
