Anyway, soon as someone gets a wiff, it's "my computer's broken... Could
you have a look?" Or "my random associate's daughter's friend's computer
is being a bit slow..." Erm, no.
"My computer's broken... Could you have a look?"
"Sure. I charge £65/hr."
"Blimey, that's a bit steep. Could you do a discount rate for family?"
"That *is* the discount rate for family. BTW, what do you do for a living?"
"I'm an accountant"
"Excellent. Can you come round and do my tax return?"
Laughed my butt off - so so true.
At 7pm last night I drove 20 miles to a 'sort-of friend's' flat to
take a look at his Win98 piece of junk.
Got home at 3am FFS.
"How much can I give you?" he asks, only to hint that my "Call it 100
quid and owe me one" was akin to me ripping him off.
Hell, I never seem to learn.
The words I really hate are "I really owe you one - I'll buy you a
beer some time", which translates to "I'll never give you a damn
thing".
Thanks for the laugh and now knowing I am not alone.
