I was a consultant for 40 years. I was that guy that logged in remotely and took control of your PC. People absolutely lose it. It does not matter if you tell them or try to explain to them. On countless occasions I would be on the phone with the person saying I am logging into your computer right now. They would start screaming that somebody is hacking into the machine. It would take a couple minutes to calm them down. Same thing if I said I’ll be logging in in five minutes. I would inevitably get a call from the person that I just told five minutes ago I was logging in saying somebody’s hacking their computer. I am so glad I am retired now.
