I'm not bragging, because I know more than half of the people on this site are much more knowledgeable in computers/technology/electronics, I'm just wanting to hear if anyone else has the same kind of problem and is tired of it.

Dad keeps bragging to fix/work on his site, Mom keeps bragging about helping her fix her resume, Brother keeps bragging me to fix his stupid counterstrike, everytime we buy some hardware like a MOUSE.. I have to install it. Network cable.. I have to install it. Router .. I have to install it. Wireless NIC... I have to install it. Keyboard.. I have to install it. Install forums on my dads site.. I have to install it.

WHAT

THE

FVCK

Is anyone else fvcking sick of solving computer/electric problems and tired of being the computer b!tch around the house? Man I wish I was a computer noob...

 

[Ricemarine]

Um yeah.

But hey, they paid for my computer... So I'm happy 🙂
Besides, you live in their home, you gotta. It's impolite not to.

Yeah well I payed around $1.5k that I earned BY MYSELF for my computer and my dad keeps blackmailing me about how he's gonna break it if I don't help him with something.

He needs to fvck off.

I believe you mean nagging...

 

[spidey07]

Look at it this way...

Just because you have a lawn mower doesn't mean you have to mow everybody's grass.

 

[beyonddc]

Just do it.
It just happened that you're in the family with the computer knowledge to install hardwares and etc.

I'm on the same boat with you.

 

[shimsham]

consider it rent.

Man, you must know some really stupid people if they have a problem installing a mouse. Ok, i could understand it if it was back with the old PS/2 connector, because if it wasn't color coded at the back, then you could have accidentally plugged it into the keyboard port... but USB mouse these days, are impossible to incorrectly install. At least i thought so.
