UPDATE: Entitled client gets entire company fired after insisting that "every email" should go to his inbox: 'He has over 100 new emails... My bosses and I are still laughing'

Expertise means nothing to entitled people. You can have 10 years of experience in your field, but you know who thinks he's better than you? That random client who spent 5 minutes Googling the issue, and who now wants to berate you for not solving the problem in a timely manner. 

This seems to be especially true for those who work in the IT field. Even though a lot of people aren't especially good at navigating their computer issues, they'll still snap at the very people who are trying to help them. Apparently, a lot of people will refuse to check if their computer is plugged in, which is one of the first questions an IT person will ask if a computer won't start up. To work around this, the IT guy will ask them to check something on the prong of the computer cord, which allows the customer or client to save face if their device wasn't plugged in. For other issues, they tend to easily solve things that an average Joe could never figure out. That didn't make this client act nicely towards his IT person, and he ended up paying a huge price for that decision.
