Overheard a homeowner say 'I could've done this myself' while I was fishing a line in his attic

I was running a line through a tight attic space near a house on Maple Street last Thursday, and the homeowner's comment got under my skin. He watched me fight with spider webs and 130 degree heat for 45 minutes and still thought his YouTube video made him an expert. Has anyone else had to bite their tongue when a customer downplays the actual labor involved in this job?

Man that's the worst... I had a guy tell me he could've done it faster while I was covered in insulation dust.

Ngl that's the worst feeling. I was fixing a leaky pipe at my buddy's place and some dude just walks in, looks at me covered in water, and goes "you know you could've just used flex tape." I wanted to throw my wrench at him.

Could've done it faster" is always the guy who's never done it at all.
