Yeah I don't relate to this at all with computers because of the association with work. But I do with other things!

A friend asked if I could fix the zipper on his pants. I was very tired, glanced at it and said nah, too much work. You'd have to unsew everything, split the seams apart, and sew back together. But my brain wouldn't let go of it. I already solved in my bed. So that's what I did. The satisfaction of completion and the look on his face when I actually just fixed it after saying no was pure dopamine.
