Default Don't fix peoples computers

So somehow I got this rep for being the computer guy to call when your moron son downloaded a **** virus or you don't know why your printer with no ink isn't printing.

Fix someones crap just one time and you'll forever be "on-call" when these people download another virus. If you received any money for that first fix, you truly are caught by the ***** because they will call day and night. This isn't a business or a side job, I was just being helpful. Forget that.

Too true! It's even worse if you build a PC for someone. They will expect free 24/7 tech support for life!

I know man. I'm talking dozens of hours spent, free of charge, reinstalling and investigating symptoms and trying to figure out exacty which virus or spyware the morons downloaded. Tell your horny son to stop visiting youngkittens dot com!!! That's what I'm always telling this one person.
