A lady at work said that her home laptop wasn't turning on and wondered if i could have a look at it, which i said yes too - was that mistake number 1?

So she brought it in today and i had a look and there was a small issue that was causing the battery not to charge so i fixed that but then noticed that the 9, O, L and . key didn't work so took it apart and all the connections seemed fine so the keyboard needs replacing.

I phoned her up and told her that she can get a keyboard online for about £15 from eBay and then she asks if i can get it, i say yes - mistake number 2?

She tell's me that she'll pay me back (i know she will) and then she asks me what i want in return for doing all this work and i said nothing - mistake number 3?

I genuinely don't mind helping people with their computer problems as it gives me more experience so that in itself is worth it. She's adamant that she get's me something so she said she'll sort that out herself.

So, do you guys think i'm too nice or would you do that same?
 
If she's your friend then what does it matter?
She's just returning the favour and you said you didn't mind helping her out.
 
She owes you sexual favours. I would find out what the rates on the street are and what if anything £15 entitles you to.
 
Many of my wifes friends do the same with me, mostly with laptops. I don't charge them anything but they always buys me a big bottle of whisky or vodka! Of course if I have to replace any parts (like battery or ram) I would tell them and they would pay it. Its just that "Service" is free of charge for friends.
 
Bottle of spirits is the going rate for helping a colleague out with something like this in my experience.

What service have they got to offer you? Think about it.
 
She is a very attractive lady - probably, early 40's and single but has a kid (FEMALE!) (who is about 20), who is also very attractive but I highly doubt what you guys are now thinking will happen :D

She'll probably get me some beer or something along those lines...
