As the resident tech support for my family and friends I finally got so sick people calling me to fix their crap that I started referring iOS users to Apple and charge €50 an hour for Windows support. So yeah .. relatable.
Or buy him dinner or lunch or something. My husband is a technician and can fix all electronics. Sometimes it's great some people will pay him around 200 bucks for half an hour work because he saved them from spend up to 600+ sometimes he saves them from even having to junk the computer and get a new one.
But than there is people who think he just spent a whole day fixxing thier shit so a thanks is enough. Sometimes he doesn't even get the thanks.
But he doesn't like to fight or seem "rude" so he lets it go. So people take advantage of him. They have no idea the reason he is that way is because he grew up with an abusive dad and a mom who never wanted him. So he trys to just please people.
But he knows if he is full on taken advantage of I will step in. Because I don't let people walk over me.
Sorry it just upsets me when some thinks o he can fix it for free even though they could EASILY just do something like grab him taco Bell his fav. Or even just a thankyou.
-.-
I always get calls for anything tech or electrical work, car stereo installs security camera issues, and I don't bill these people and I'm lucky to get a solid thanks out of them, frankly I've kicked around the idea of charging $20 per half hour with a two hour minimum
