Free?

When something is free, be it an item or a service, there is tendency for abuse. For example, if you had free beer wouldn't you gulp a keg every 10 minutes? Or what about free blowjobs? Hmmmm gets you thinking, hey?

As it turns out, I'm the local computer guy in my neighbourhood (and some extended neighbourhood also). Whenever someone has problems with their PCs, guess who they call? I never charge a single cent to anyone but they are free to give me food, clothing, 5 cent coins, bits of nail, etc if that suits them. Computers aren't dumb, users are! I'm sorry if I've offended you but I've got tons of morons who ring me up whenever they feel like and "tell" me to "come" to their house to repair their computers which broke by "itself". I don't work for you motherfucker, and you're not paying.

Two days ago, my neighbour asked me to come to his place and see what's wrong with his computer. Apparently he wasn't able to access the Windows's Control Panel to dial the internet! So, he just ring me up and say "Hey I've got a problem on my PC, I can't access the internet. Come and fix it." I'm like WTF? I don't give a damn about your PC. I've got my PC's power supply blown up into pieces and i need to install that new hard disk I just bought. So, I screw him until his wife phoned me yesterday and said in an exhasperated tone: "You know, I can't access the net since two days and I'm worried sick about my daughter in France. I can't contact her. Are you at home?" To that I lie: "No, I'm at a friend's place and won't be back for at least 2 hours". She then replied: "Well, when you leave, just come to my place immediately". And I lie again: "OK". Fuck you ma'am, you can use the phone to contact your silly daughter and get some other techie to repair your damn computer or subscribe to some "How to use a computer" lessons for dummies. Fuck, Fuck, Fuck and FUCK! Time to learn how to use that PC of yours or dump it.

I know not people are like me but I'm sure we all have at least a little bit of common sense. When I had my first PC, I was a complete newbie and whenever I had problems, I scavenged the net (my next-best friend after my doggie) or racked my head until I fixed the problem. I NEVER phoned anybody for help. If you think that I'm ranting about a couple of phone calls then you're terribly mistaken. I get 100's of them like that everymonth and now that I'm working I don't have time to tackle your problems. I have my own. It might seem selfish but I'm tired of this abuse. I will continue to help people who are genuinely in trouble and those who are willing to learn by themselves before calling for help.

I'm off for some sleep now. See yah!
