Does everybody and their mother call you to fix their computers just because you work online? - GoFuckYourself.com

CyberHustler · 04-11-2010, 01:03 PM

I have now resorted to breaking their computers even further forcing them to buy new ones... The calls have slowed down drastically.

I just tell then "I don't know how to fix computers, I use a Mac"

Good idea

Supz · 04-11-2010, 01:12 PM

This happens to me all the time. I tell just about everyone to fuck off.

u-Bob · 04-11-2010, 01:17 PM

charge them $50/hr and tell them it took you a week to fix it.

djswivle · 04-11-2010, 01:21 PM

I don't know anybody personally who uses one. Maybe I should recommend they get a mac when they call. A lot less rude than destroying their PC's and them buying another for me to destroy in the future... because once I fixed my first PC for someone all of a sudden everybody stopped caring about what they did on their PC's because if anything bad happened they just figure I'll run to the rescue.

They wont pay shit.

J. Falcon · 04-11-2010, 01:28 PM

No, because I explain to them that working online doesn't mean you know how to fix computers.

Well, do you lie? Or do you live a secluded life? Or does no one care enough about you to ask what you do for a living?

Me, I have a wife with a big mouth.

I tried that. But when they hear the prices from the PC repair people they always come back to me begging to please try anyway.

CyberHustler · 04-11-2010, 01:31 PM

The only thing that really has worked for me after all these years of trial and error is destroying their computers and blaming it on myspace and porn.

Nicky · 04-11-2010, 01:32 PM

yep, all the time. I'm too nice to say no too

Yngwie · 04-11-2010, 01:42 PM

all the damn time. I can tell them I don't know shit about computers, but they know better so I get stuck fixing their shit all the time. It gets annoying.

hypedough · 04-11-2010, 03:01 PM

Happens all the time, family and friends included

Oh well I guess it could be worse

Klen · 04-11-2010, 03:09 PM

Yes had that problem too but luckily nobody is calling me anymore.

Marquis85 · 04-11-2010, 03:43 PM

YES and its fucking annoying! I'm too nice to say no though.. They usually have a bunch of viruses from clicking on whatever popups on porn sites lol

Babaganoosh · 04-11-2010, 03:49 PM

Ask them if you can bring your car to them next time it breaks down. Since they drive their car everyday they must be able to work on cars.

dav3 · 04-11-2010, 04:11 PM

Yea, start monetizing it.

There's more than one way, especially if you are an affiliate.

Sign up to shitloads of mainstream affiliate sites. Then make them a customized Favorites menu, based on their personality and what you think they may buy.
