ugh... Dad! stop calling me!!!

[notfred]

My dad has called me 9 TIMES today, while I've been at work ,cause his PC broke and he doesn't know how to reinstall windows.... keeps calling me up for every little thing. "What do I put for workgroup?", "how do I install video card drivers?", blah, blah, blah.....


Argh, helping is one thing, but 9 times in 7 hours.... argh....

 

[Keego]

yeah, I hate that :disgust: it's like, you have to help, but really really really don't want to.

 

[amnesiac]

THat's when you reply, "err...it's dangerous. DOn't do that. Get a professional to install it for you."

Tell him to get an etch-a-sketch, it's easy to reboot.

my sister is just as annoying. Although she's somewhat literate, she's still a n00b and i get suckered into fixing everything. Then my other sister breaks stuff on her computer and denies she did it. "it must be a virus"

grrrr
