Too many people in this world struggle with listening to advice offered to them and instead only create more stress for the rest of us. A computer science professor logged on to r/talesfromtechsupport to describe just that; a student who refused to accept their advice when troubleshooting a project that wouldn't work. You can really feel this teacher's frustration gradually build during this tale as their student refuses to simply check to make sure the hardware is wired properly, and ultimately, they learn the hard way. Props to the teacher for sticking their feet in the ground; they knew exactly where the problem needed to be addressed, and it seems like the student now understands the importance of troubleshooting from the ground up — the next time someone else had a problem, the student in question was the first to implore them to check the hardware.
