I work tech support, and apparently everyone knows EVERYTHING even before they call.

Having a degree does not make you intelligent, it makes you smart enough to do your job, not mine.

. . . it makes you smart enough to do your job . . .

If you're lucky.

Although I'm not so sure a degree makes anyone smart enough to do any job. It just makes you look like you can learn it.

But it sure as hell makes you entitled!

Hey now, to be fair, any time I've had to call my ISP, I typically know more about what's going on on their network than they do.

And in my most recent go-round with GoDaddy, I had to go to retarded lengths to explain to them the difference between "passive" and "active" FTP, and why FTP is not SSH.

I would hope that you were intelligent. You made it to the Internet all by yourself this morning right?

 Lol... There are *RARE* cases of... intelligence sentient life in our clients.

Guys who think that just because you are being friendly that somehow means you're into them.
 (usually because I'm a waitress and job inclined to be fucking nice to people WHEN I'M AT WORK or how about because you're a friend of a good friend of mine so I want to be nice to you for the sake of our mutual friend)

So called "lyric sites". Has anyone tried to search for lyrics lately?

 Don't bother. The internet fucked that up too.

I have found that the most accurate search engine for lyrics is actually, youtube.

Your findings would be consistent with mine, then. In fact, I'm not certain the "lyric sites" served by major search engines are indeed sites for listing song lyrics. Empirical evidence has shown such sites are typically used as advertisement 'hubs' and linkfarms with no actual song lyrics to be found. Bastards.
