Like for example, how someone thinks because you work in IT you can fix their TV, or how if you’re into music you must be able to play any random instrument.

I just like hearing pros rant about about their very niche problems.

    I’m trained as a lawyer, which means a lot of people sharing detailed, sometimes deeply personal problems related to a field of law I last thought about seriously twenty years ago, and then at an introductory level and for one semester. The main things I learned in law school are (1) how to look things up, (2) some foundational things about how to interpret and contextualize what I find, and (3) how much tools, templates, boilerplate, and personal relationships are the bread and butter of the actual profession.
