This comic kind of reminds me of when I was in college and working 30+ hours a week at an internship, and a lot of my family and friends still expected me to fix their home PC's for free. I started telling anyone that asked if I knew how to use computers that I charged 200 dollars an hour and to this day only my Mom asks me for help! 😀

When I was out of work I fixed a number of people's PC issues. One person I only know vaguely had issues with his internet, a heavily virused PC that had never had any updates installed and issues with his smart TV. It took three visits to sort it all out and despite promises that he would see me right I never even got a drink out of it. I sorted out another PC that was pretty messed up. Again nothing bar a call some weeks later that they had re-installed Windows7 and now nothing was working. I suggested that they Google! Bar family and close friends I no longer touch other people's IT!!! 😎

Should have said 100 and maybe got a few side jobs.

No, I was too busy for side jobs. The whole point was being too high priced for people to keep bothering me! 😉

Ugh. I hope this one never comes to fruition. Dime a dozen IT out of a vending machine could be disastrous.

I guess we all have friends/family support horror stories but I have one that I think shows good use of technology and one I think funny:
Good Use of Technology
I once fixed my Dad's laptop which was with him in Budapest, Hungary via my mobile and TeamViewer's app whilst walking the dog in the countryside in Staffordshire, England.
Funny?
A male relative asked me to fix his computer. I was doing so when he claimed that he never, ever looked at porn. I wouldn't have been judgemental (to each his own - with a caveat of consenting adults etc.) but he was on a soap box about it. What is a guy supposed to do? Well I fixed his computer and after he thanked me I quietly told him within only his hearing distance what type of porn he had looked at and at what time. He looked quite shocked. If he had said nothing I wouldn't have bothered checking 😉
