Well, a few months ago I charged this friend of a friend of mine to fix his three computers. I didn't charge much, but I tried helping him as much as possible. Well, I even set up his email address in outlook express and it worked fine when I tested it. After a while, he started calling me and bugging me about him being able to use outlook express to receive email, but he was not able to send out. I was busy, being that he was *cough* ya... *cough* I told him to use mail.yahoo.com instead. All he would have to do is login and use the webmail that yahoo provides. I thought all was well, but now he calls back again, and irritates me even more by leaving a message stating that he cannot send again. I'm just wondering, "WTF!!!!!!" Of course, he wanted me to do some other things, have called me many times and left voice messages as well, but I just don't feel like calling him back. Should I call him back and say "look, dumbass, I'll stop by and personally get it checked so that you don't complain anymore" or should I just ignore him some more because he makes me so mad. From now on I should put up a policy for prospective and present "clients," stating that any necessary technical support from me requires some $ compensation. That'll be good, then they can stop bothering me. Tech support for no $ = WTF GO AWAY!
 
I'd just take 30 seconds to look up his ISP tech support phone number and tell him that number.

You're happy to turn him over to them. He's happy because he has somebody else to bug.
 
Not my friend, but my friend's friend. I mean, if I actually knew him, I'd help him personally again, without charging him. This just annoys me. I think he owes me 3 bucks still.
 
So, you charged him for work you did, and didn't setup his SMTP to correctly send an email, and now are po'd because he's calling and asking you to fix???

teh smart are not u!

I can't imagine telling a customer to call his ISP when I was the one who set it up in the first place, and billed him for it...

dumbass..

edit: and what the hell is "cough.. ya... cough"??? Crazy kids and your newfangled lingo...

😛

3 bucks is not a lot and you didn't finish your job in setting up correctly.
 
er....I'm under the assumption that the OP set it up correctly, and Captain Idiot has since messed it up.

That's the way I read it, anyway.

Exactly. Every ISP I know of will help their customers set up their email...
