Its seems to me as i work on computer people in general get more idiotic and don't wanna accept the fact they got another virus or something they did killed the PC or broke it again. The only thing they do is come back and blame the people that helped them fix it. I just get annoyed when people say "Oh i got another virus and that Anti-Virus you put on does not work, It happened when my 5 year old son was on it" and there is the problem people don't understand that when you have a child on a Computer they click EVERYTHING!!! and i mean EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for hearing my rant...kinda let off some stress :P i needed it I've been stressed all week thank goodness that i found this site XP XP XP
-
Yup this is pretty much what I always deal with. Generally speaking, most people find it easier to blame their technology issues on others than themselves :p
The best thing to do, is to just fix the problem, and find a way to either show them that it wasn't you, or at least make them understand it can happen to anyone, even the "experts."
-
Yeah i figured, but when we try to they just go in Denial and start yelling and complaining.....our office is near section 8 housing, the Prices are "TOO" much for people, but yeah and i'm laughing at my PC at home because the boot section of my SDD is missing, but i put in my USB and it boots fine lol
-
Look at all these free toolbars and add-ons they gave me! Why aren't things working right?
-
Yes, Exactly bubblegum its funny because it's like the word free on a Computer is "ALWAYS" good lol
-
I've worked with our local hardware repairman a handful of times. He stated that he used to have this issue until he would drop bits of helpful information into the conversation with a customer as to how to maintain a good computer. He said that since then the numbers of angry customers has reduced dramatically, and that he actually gets more business because more people recommend him.
-
we do the same but people in my area do not listen as well as they should...
-
You should see my friends computer lol
He is like a browser supremist and makes fun of me for still using internet explorer when his computer takes 5 seconds and mine only takes 1/2 a second to change pages lol.
He also has adware multiple toolbars and like 4 free antivirus in which he has no clue how to use lol.
-
That seems like everyones computer anymore they think having more than 1 antiviruses are good but they are BAD lol they scan each other and battle lol
-
I don't even bother with Anti-Virus programs. I use what comes with my OS, and occasionally download Housecall if I feel there's something terribad on my computer.
I've had less viruses in like, four years than most people have in one with having the leading Anti-Virus program. Smart interwebbing FTW!
-
Bingo lol people go to these sites where you can get recipes and its all spam and ad-ware and viruses and they blame us for the Anti Virus not working, i only use Microsoft Security Essentials and that's its and never have i had a virus
-
The worst thing I have sucked up is Babylon.
Java and those damn toolbars. One time I was updating and forgot to click them off I was like OH **censor** when it started the download but I figured I could just uninstall the toolbars which I did... Then I found chrome infected. ):<
-
Yep that's always the way it is, they make money off of them for putting the tool bars and crud like that all in there, i think worst thing i got is that Dreaded FBI virus but that's so easy to fix if you catch it early enough or have a 2nd profile you can get into or you do a recovery to an earlier time lol
-
OMF i work as a mechanic and have the EXACT same problem!!! People with older carburated bikes sometimes don't realize that if you let it sit for a month- it won't run b/c the carb gets gummed up! Then they come back to the shop pointing fingers... GRRRRRR...
Yes, I feel you!
-
Ah well thats a car i wouldnt blame anyone but thats people huh
-
Hope you all don't mind that I'm cutting in here <.<
Back when I first got my laptop I never knew things such as viruses existed.
Low and behold the one time I let my mom's friend's kid on my laptop and I came back to a trojan horse virus.
I had to wipe this laptop clean by restoring it to factory settings. Now it just doesn't work like it used to.
-
you probably don't have any of the factory programs on it like it came it?
-
All the factory programs are there.
Those kids just logged onto Facebook and clicked on all those malicious ads.
-
Yeah and poof ruined one guy came in once a week....he let his son on and he blamed us so we told him don't let him on because youll end up back here again, he came back after a month and said sorry
-
I can't stand it when people are that ignorant.
Its the job of the people they send it to to fix it, not harm it.
And besides, you probably know how many people would be fired if they were putting malicious things on other people's laptops.
-
A ton but people don't know how to blame themselves they just wanna blame everyone esle for their problems
-
Due to the fact that they think their children are actually intelligent enough to not click on malicious things. To them their children are perfect sentient beings that do nothing wrong.
So nooooo it couldn't have been the children. They're just kids, what could they possibly do?
[Obvious sarcasm]
-
Yeah i know and people who kill their pc by dropping it have blamed up before awell....we used to give loaners but so many came back broken we had to stop
-
I will openly admit I've dropped my laptop three times, on accident. Maybe four.
-
So have i and a screen is only 70 or 80 bucks depending unless its a 14.1 inch then its about $200
-
14.1 inch screens actually exist?
-
Yeah lol LED ones are 150 but we charge 200 and LCD are like 20 - 25
-
I've only seen 15-17 inch screens and nothing else.
-
Yeah they are oddballs but not cheap to fix....
-
That's what I was going to say!
My mom's friend fried her laptop because she knocked her cup of soda over on accident. (Different friend.)
-
its may no be fried....if you can get the board out and scrub it nicely and let it dry tgen it may work
-
Well its been quite awhile since it happened :|
I tried taking it apart so I could do that, but it was put together really well.
-
They can be a pain but some you have to take the keyboard out 1st
-
Crap!
I didn't think of that at the time. I just pulled out all the screws and tried to pry it apart from there.
-
Yeah most people don't know that its a trick of the trade lol
-
Wow, I feel stupid now x_x
-
Na don't they make em like that so people won't know how to get em apart
-
Now I'm feeling confused. @.@
-
When something like that happens the company wants you to get a new laptop not fix it lol
-
Well the company is greedy.
-
Aint they all?
-
Pretty much.
The only company that I can think of that isn't as greedy as the others is Nintendo.
They don't charge much for their consoles or handheld devices or games; and they rarely ever have to be replaced unless you're purposely bringing harm to the console or handheld device.
-
Yeah i know lol and i have never heard of nintendo sueing any one
-
Huh, now that I think of it; Neither have I.
Guess that puts Nintendo out on top.
-
For being nice yes lol
-
We've deviated from the original topic <.<
Oops.
-
Oh well kinda my post the mods shouldnt mind lol but like i said people have bullied me for years and people i know used me for anger bags so i gave up caring :D
-
I can relate a bit.
My mom always takes her anger out on me because she's too much of a coward to take it out on anybody else.
-
I had a group of "friends" who all they did was hit me kick me punch me and all that i was the punching bag even the girls i cared for like a week then i just gave up and when it started curled into a ball on the ground....i mean once i blacked out and i had one of the strongest guys in a choke hold and i don't remember coming out until they stopped hitting me and i was bleeding from my side idk what happened rather a cut or stab never found out
-
Back when I was athletic (About 3 years ago)
It was as if I had super human strength when I got angry. I'm gonna skip ahead from all the fighting I used to do, due to bullies. But they were cowardly enough to try and run me over in the street. They did run over my legs though :S I played dead so they wouldn't run over me a second or third time and they kept driving down the street. They were awfully spooked the next day when I showed up to school.
Its quite obvious that I survived to walk another day, and I consider myself very very very very lucky.
-
Dang well thats good you servived i bet they were white faced
-
They never bullied me again after that.
Looks like we both come from a tough past.
-
Yeah just a bit :) but it was for the better :D
-
But we're a lot wiser and smarter now that we've experienced those things. :)
-
I havent black out since that time tho, and yes we are :D
-
Just between you and I <.< >.>
Discord's first name used to be CircutBoard.
-
Really? cool :D
mine has always been JollyGreen(Something HERE)
-
Well it is good to be jolly! :) And green is a great color no matter what shade!
I also chose that name out of irony due to the fact that Discord is actually a peaceful guy.
-
mine came to to me by a nick name lol
hm that is ironic
-
Just gonna randomly throw this in here; My cat is a polydactyl.
-
My cat is Brock the Gym leader
-
Are you actually serious?
And you do know that polydactyl means that they have more than four toes on their front paws, right?
-
Oh....:$ i did not know that but that is my cats name lol
-
Don't be embarrassed friend :) Many people do not know what that means either.
And that is an interesting name!
My cat's name is Max, but since it's the Christmas season his name is Maxi-tree until 2014.
-
Thats cute :)

-
Thanks! :) I also have a dog named Oreo, so sometimes I sing; "Jingle bells, Maxi smells! Oreo laid an egg!"
Did your cat die? :(

-
