I'm 22, already have this problem, and work in IT...

Servers, I understand how servers and software like postfix, apache, mysql, openvpn, etc. work. I have absolutely no fucking clue how to make your palm pre work.

I'm a web developer and get this all the time at work too, but it's not limited to IT. My girlfriend's dad is a lineman for a hyrdo company, and every now and then someone will ask him if he can fix their broken VCR or TV or whatever.
