The first time this happened to me, I showed up to a formal event wearing sandals, a t-shirt proclaiming the greatness of Linux, and jeans. Despite my casual attire, I was allowed entry by the security team, who recognized me as being from the IT department and assumed I was there to ensure the computers were functioning properly. LOL.

Nobody said anything, but you know they were looking at me and like, WTF this guy is doing here? Is he lost? Who allowed him to join our elite event? Maybe it was all in my head because they were too busy with whatever they were doing that day. I still dislike attending social gatherings even now. I find solace in peaceful environments like the seaside or a park. Large crowds make me anxious and uncomfortable. It's just not my cup of tea. (2/2)

@nixCraft once they realised you're "the IT guy", did anyone ask you for advice on replacing a non-functioning printer as a way of having a small talk? 😅
