Why oh why.

I have custom built my own PC about 4 times (3 different rigs). The family know that I know a thing or 3 about PC's, but why is it anytime ANYONE they know mentions a problem with a PC, I am the one told and told to fix it, 90% of the time I dont want to, or have any intention to, and you can't charge family can you?

Fed up of it tbh, wish I never got into PC's because of that. :mad:
 
There was a t-shirt on a site i found that said

"No i wont fix your computer"

Found it quite amusing. Perhaps it would be worth it for you :P

Has he never done anything for you? Never helped you? Took you anywhere? etc..
 
It annoys me when they start ringing you up when your in work

Only immediate family I do for free, anyone else is chargeable
 
lol I have a mother who browses the internet and still had problems on using a laptop. She types long sentences into an search engine and wonders why no results appear lol.

Yes, he gives me the ride home from the pub....for £6...he has the cheek to charge, yet I'm expected to fix his PC for free, for the umpteenth time and yet another day off wasted. He dropped 2 grubby old machines off at my house to change a HDD. **** take.

And yeah, I've had a beer or 4.

Help is a two way thing.
I have helped my mate with his pc many a time and tonight I borked flashing my graphics card bios.
I phoned him up and asked to loan his card so I could reflash my card.
Within half an hour I had a graphics card.
So maybe one day you will need a favour.
