As @devTea said, they can become too comfortable with asking you to reconnect the printer or recover some data or whatever. And they can be quite ungrateful about it... As if you owed it to them just for possessing half a brain to do the work. Because God forbid they take a minute to type their problem into Google like I was going to do anyways...
I see a lot of people saying they are programmers and they can't fix other shit. But I mean, using that brain to do other things won't surely kill you. I know you don't have time, but it may be worth taking a while to focus on fixing something else. Just to know how to do it. I do a lot of electronics, but occasionally I've been a plumber, an electrician, a painter and a mechanic.
That said, I know, I'm 17 and I surely hadn't the full programmer experience yet, but I'll try to keep this attitude when I grow up.
