You seem to put trust in technology to do important tasks, when they have problems securing a stupid light bulbs.

There's a joke about it:

Tech Enthusiasts: Everything in my house is wired to the Internet of Things! I control it all from my smartphone! My smart-house is bluetooth enabled and I can give it voice commands via alexa! I love the future!

Programmers / Engineers: The most recent piece of technology I own is a printer from 2004 and I keep a loaded gun ready to shoot it if it ever makes an unexpected noise.

I don't have gun for that, but a baseball bat instead. That scene from Office Space made such an impression, and I swear one day, I will recreate it on a piece of gear that steps out of line.
