I think it's a modern phenomenon.
15 years ago I found that most users, while being perhaps IT illiterate, at least respected the knowledge and experience a professional had.
Now I find people using buzzwords all the time, buying in software that has huge hidden costs and then look down at me when I try and explain the time required to wire together two systems.
I would never pretend to understand the workings of my car and defer to mechanics with great respect.

Someone asked me to transfer all I did to a junior developer and a LAMP stack developer in 6 weeks. When I explained that "transfering 20+ years of experience and knowledge in 6 weeks is not possible" he got a bit miffed and stated that he did not expect me to do a "brain download" - well what does he flippin' expect
You have my sympathy

This isn't funny...
I once knew a teacher who couldn't control her pupils...
The stress greatly affected her health and she eventually had a heart attack in a restaurant, and unfortunately, not even all the letters in the alphabet could save her...
