Computer nerds here all put up with the same thing, people and computers dont mix - and when people find someone that somehow mixes with them, they are amazed and astonished. They will keep track of you for all eternity. This is something you will have to live with, so get used to it.

I can definetely understand, as everyone else here can - but a few questions about "What Virus Scanner do you use" and "What RAM should I buy" are harmless. Its not too big a deal - and by ignoring him your only making it worse - trust me I know these people. You need to teach them how to find resources on their own so that they aren't coming to you any more. Its the old axiom "Give a man a fish, he eats for one day. Teach a man to fish and he eats for blah blah". You know the adage, and its truth. Just point him to ATOT and a few other online resources and he'll never have to bother you again. And when he does, "Go to AT." Its a simple answer to all his problems.

Regardless, people seriously lack the perception of what MJ can do for them - you would be a lot less stressed out, the entire world would be less stressed if only it were legal. Now go buy a bag.

watch out... you will be th next ribbon

there are some people who will refuse to put forth even the slightest bit of effort to learn things on their own.

i'm not sure if that's what the OP is encountering, but i find that especially annoying....

Rant rated at 10/9 and I agree, it's even worse with my sister asking me for help with her MAC and I hate MACs I always tell her to drop it or to toss it away and it'll be solved.

"TONY I ACCIDENTALLY DELETED OFFICE"
"TONY I ACCIDENTALLY DELETED MCAFFE"
"TONY I ACCIDENTALLY SAVED PORN OVER EXPLORER.EXE"
"TONY MY COMPUTER DOESN'T WORK"
"TONY HEEEEELLLP!"
"TONY!"
"WHY DO ALL THESE ADS KEEP POPPING UP"

Jesus Herbert Walker Christ, you'd think that after the first 11ty billion times I ignore you, you'd get the hint and GO THE FVCK AWAY AND JUMP OFF A CLIFF, FATASS! Man, if only that paintball game had been live fire with M-16's, I wouldn't have to deal with your bullsh!t. I shot you in the balls because you're an annoying piece of sh!t, not because I love you or something. Christ. If you ask me ONE MORE FVCKING TIME what virus scanner I use, or what RAM you should buy for your POS Compaq, I'll wrap it's damned plastic chassis around your face and drop you out of a fvcking 747 from FL350, without a goddamn parachute. Oh, and your Supra (yes, this asshat has a Supra, and he doesn't even have his driver's license yet) and hotass girlfriend are FAR above you, and I'm about || far from fvcking taking possession of both of them in return for not KILLING YOUR ANNOYING ASS.

TONY I DELETED EXPLORER.EXE.............HELP MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

 

Here is a word of advice for you kid, don't let people know you are into/knowledgable about computers. I'm sure that most of this is brought about by your own actions.

I *HAVE*. If I remember, it got an "Haha, you're funny"

You must have not been too convincing, weenie.

lol

 

[PingSpike]

I just usually give them feeble nofix advice like "go to mcafee.com" or "go to microsoft.com" and say "there's a help section". Technically, the advice is true...of course it solves nothing since they won't do it. But...who fvcking cares?

 

[shortylickens]

I know a few guys who are skilled with 4x4's and Airsoft guns. I have no problems giving them computer advice.

That is excellent advice. I don't let people know that I'm into/knowledgable about computers unless I'm prepared to help them. And so far, I'm doing pretty good. Yeah, I've had to fix my girlfriend's friends computers before, but it's worth it

Usually, when I tell people (or they find out), they're surprised. :thumbsup:

I have a few people like this too, but they're relatively easy to ignore.

The worst thing is when family volunteers you.. my mom does it all the time.

Moms friend: Oh we can't get such and such to work on our computer, it's so silly.
Mom: Oh I'm sure Ryan can do it

FVCK that.

[ucdbiendog]

lol. 10/10 on the rant. I dont have to put up with that too much because most of my friends are just as computer savvy as i am or more so. But my best friend (who also happens to be my roomate) doesnt know jack about them. he is a CS major and is too lazy to figure stuff out for himself. I refuse to touch his computer.
