You have never gone to service a PC at a trailer park, where the people there look like they belong undert the trailer instead of in it. The keyboard is covered in crusty "gunk" (I put on gloves just to touch it). The heatsink and fan are covered in tobacco smoke, tar, nicotine, dust, etc. There is a decapitated roach in the PSU fan, stopping it from spinning. The chair reeks of all sorts of bodily odors, the desk is a mud stained piece of 2x12 on milkcrates, with a spare tire as a footstool. The monitor only does 800x600 with 256 colors, and smells like it is about to burn up. When you go to format the hard drive so you can reinstall the OS, the "man" of the house asks you if this will erase his "movies" you say YES, and he threatens to kick your arse if he can't watch them anymore, so you take out a spare HDD and back them up to that. When restoring the the movies, you realize that they all involve crack whores and animals. The mouse only works after banging it on the "desk" a few times. You get a splinter from the "desk". When all is done, you ask for payment and they give you a hard time about how much it costs, so you threaten to turn them into the police for all the illegal movies they have just so you can get paid, then the check they wrote you bounces so bad that you have to re paint the walls. Take them to court, win in court, but when you try and collect again, in cash, they complain about not being able to make lot rent, feed their kids, he is out of work, etc. So you wind up just taking the computer for payment, only to be stuck with it because it is so old no one wants to buy it.
