I just came across an ad aimed at devs looking for a job which included the following picture π

Which misconceptions have you heard about or faced with?
We can hack into facebook and take ownership of ex-boy/girlfriend/husband/wife's account. Or we can take back hacked emails or fb accounts. I constantly get this kind of requests from friends and family.
For my wife, even after 7 years, she is doing a real job ( nurse ) but I am just sitting in front of computer, pretty much doing nothing. :)
Wife: I am so tired today, it has been such a long day.
Me: Yeah, me too.
Wife: C'mon. You are just sitting on your chair all day staring at computer.
Me: ...and?
My favorite to this day remains what the mother of the wife of a friend of mine assumed

B: Yes.
A: I have a problem with my computer, could you help?
B: Depends on what the problem is,
what kind of computer do you have?
A: a grey one
B: .....

I hear most of the people saying, 'Developers are not social enough'. And I know that is not true.
