This happens to me a lot, from non-techy friends mostly. They think sitting down is not exhausting just because I don't lift rocks.
I understand where that comes from. It is easy to assume that sitting down is like lying in bed or something. It's complicated for outsiders to understand the real work that goes into our jobs. And the exhaustion levels we get to. Yeah, mostly mentally but also physically.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
Well my parents still think that sitting down in a front of PC for 8+ hours a day is not exhausting...
What's the context where this comes up in your interactions with them?
Most when they ask me to do something that I can do during my day off but they want it now
Same here. "You just sit there for hours. That's easy"
Seems like I am not alone with this issue :D
haha. My mom does not consider "messing up with the computer" working.
She also complains that I make 10x more than she does...
Hahaha
My Mom keep saying that too.
