So true

Here's my story

From school days my one of my friend know I'm into tech stuff so he asked software, writing cds & prices about computer components It' ok

But 4 month ago real annoying thing start


It started like this one day he called me & ask can u come with me to buy a new computer I said sure (coz he's my childhood friend
:dull:)

Then I went to his place for set up computer & install windows xp for him coz unity plaza ppl don't install pirate software.


Then he call & ask for set internet so I went his place for install router


Then he called me & told he can't play games screen is turning to black when he's playing games I said call & tell this to computer shop & claim warranty for VGA(WTF I can do for his VGA not working properly)


After that he got peo-TV then he called & tell me his internet connection was lost & can u come I said call SLT but he said SLT people can't recognize the bug so I went to his place even I couldn't understand the error so he call SLT again & fix that


recently he's calling me and asking to update his software


Last Sunday he called but I was in sleep that time I didn't call him back coz I know if I call back him he's telling can you come
:oo:

In past 4 month I went to 4 times for his work


Can you imagine how much technical guy get paid for these stuff I did all this for free.


I'm not selfish I am willing to help people but I am still studying & can't always go for his stuff people have to understand not to give troubles to other people asking for help.


He's one of selfish friend that I have he only call when he need help.

I remembered long time ago one of computer lectures in our school said when you are good at tech stuff people will use you for their needs. It's so true.

Hope you got something from story I'm not saying don't help. Help people but you have understand the risk of falling into this situation so keep your limits when you are helping (Sorry if this is so long).
:D

    yeah i'm experiencing something similar, not with computers, with all other kinds of tech stuff..
    it all started when i went to one of my friends places and fixed his tv (he had a cooked horizontal line output transistor)..
    now it's become a real pain. everyone's calling me when their electronics stuff go bad.:rolleyes:

    In the attic...
    LMAO...story of my life.....

    but replace with old granny...who calls me up if her screen goes black.....

    i have gone to her home (which is quite far away).....to set up her internet and setup the laptop so she can chat with her daughter and grand-daughter in Australia....:dull:....

    she made me call IDD (even thou she could have called using her own phone)....which put my bill over the red.....to get her daughters mail id etc.....then she took the phone from me...and started to chat with her daughter right there....by this time I was seeing red.....but kinda let it slide coz she is old....

    for the last few weeks after that...she kept calling me to her house...bugging me non-stop....for the simplest things....like forgetting to plug in her power supply...(which has been 7 times to date)....just imagine traveling over 1.5 hours to plug in the power supply.....even thou i told her multiple times to check that....:frown:


    i just dunno dudes...one these days i just might murder her cruddy old ash....god help me....:frown::frown:

    and i also have helped out my friends...but they also have my back.....with tech and also other stuff.....my only problem is that old hag....arggghhhh....sorry i shouldn't talk so badly about elders....

    i don't care if she pays me or not...just don't waste MY time and Money....but she is quite clever in doing that if not reading the instructions i gave her.....:dull:

    lol you are worse than me

    I think most of the old ppl are like that coz they forget things easily and not good with recent technology one of my uncle is like that he kept note about how to copy file to a disk and he forget the note paper and ask me again and again but your case is worst :oo:
