Ever feel like a piece of technology is actively fucking with you? Like, rationally you know it's not sentient and the fact that it works wrong at the worst time is just coincidence, but...

Part of you believes that it's going "hey, you know what would really piss this guy/girl off?" and taking great satisfaction in your rage.

I can understand where the myth of gremlins came from.

so anon, i work tech support

and i'm convinced that this is all pieces of technology now

because there are so many calls i get where whatever issue the user is having is resolved solely because they called in

like the fact that tech intervention scares off the gremlins

so i'm right there with you
