Anyone else hate this?

[Avatar26]

I hate being everyone's "tech support". My parents, my friends, my BOSS... Calls at 12:30 for problems like, "Windows locked up! What do I do!" AHHHHHHHHHH

If it's a male, charge them money.

If it's a female..well, *ahem*, yeah

 

[Avatar26]

LOL Golden Bear! Only problem is, I already get *ahem* from the g/f for tech support, but I don't think she'd appreciate it if I gave *ahem* to her mother... Ugh:disgust:

<< If it's a female..well, *ahem*, yeah >>

You charge your mom *ahem*? Pervert.

 

[GoldenBear]

No Yakki. Your mother on the other hand..

 

[brjames]

just find someone who's better at tech support than you and refer them to him
... unless of course you really want to give tech supportText

Amen to that... even though usually I don't.

 

[Dameon]

Stopped giving them advice. will talk tech with my dad &amp; brother, but only give tech support to my mother in law.

 

[tigerbait]

ugh.. i totally empathize. So many ungrateful friends, too. But my friend whose computer i always do stuff do, he is a bartender now, so he returns the favor.
