Tired of family, friends treating me like a godamn robot, giving me instructions with computer tasks every fvcking day. They should just learn how to do it themselves, and stop fvcking asking me to do everything for them.

Yeah, but then my dad starts blackmailing me about how he's going to break my computer (not to mention, saved up the money for each part and bought it myself) , or disconnect my internet connection.

Given instructions multiple times, they never remember how to do it. Easy tasks such as plugging in the cable from the Digital Camera, and saving the photos on the PC.

If you still live with them, then you're SOL. Just live with it till you move out.

Nah, just act computer illiterate from now on and when people ask what you do for living or what your hobbies are just say you are an adult film star. Then at least any favor they would ask might involve sex edit: with a beautiful woman... of course.. not the family member!

Get used to giving free support. After you move out and get a GF, you'll have to give her free puter support, too!

You should have your own computer, and let there be one for the family/friends. That'll better allow them to learn how to do stuff on their own. Of course they'll need ur help at first, but it's still better than them being totally dependent on u.

I'm generally pretty tolerant, but there's a couple of things that just flat out piss me off because I've explained it a thousand times...

- Double clicking all over the danged screen...There's an icon, lets double click it with both the left and right mouse button!!! If it doesn't pop up something right that second then it must be safe to delete.

- Folders and "where'd I put that?" It kills me to see 15 folders under My Documents named "New Folder (1.2.3. etc)" with most of them containing the same set of miscellaneous photos.

- File size, What's that? Send a 40mb email, but burn a 100k photo to a CD!!!

I'm sure I'll think of more, but this is just a good chance to vent a little.

Good thread!
