Is it just me or....

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    i needed it I've been stressed all week thank goodness that i found this site

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."

[JollyGreenFox]

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?

[JollyGreenFox]

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.

[JollyGreenFox]

we do the same but people in my area do not listen as well as they should...

[Trigahex]

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.

[JollyGreenFox]

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

[Nrein]

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!

[JollyGreenFox]

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

[Trigahex]

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. ):<

[JollyGreenFox]

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!

[JollyGreenFox]

Ah well thats a car i wouldnt blame anyone but thats people huh
