I said, " No and I don't and won't have time to fix it, if you can't fix it yourself your going to have to pay someone who isn't me to fix it for you." The person got upset but I tuned them out and just hung up and followed that by blocking their number then calling the person who gave them my number and politely telling them to never give out my number to anyone to fix their computer I am not everyone's free tech support and I don't want to do that job even if people pay me to do it.
You know what's a valuable life skill that anyone who owns any piece of technology should pick up? Using google, type in what your operating system is and what is happening and if you can get the exact error code its spitting out that would be great because that is exactly what I would do if I gave a crap about fixing it. Which I don't its not my computer and I am not paid tech support for you or anyone else the only persons computer I will fix is my own which I haven't had to fix after my second year of owning one. You see I went through the painful learning curve of doing every stupid thing technicians roll their eyes at while trying to hide their utter contempt for the sheer stupidity that keeps them employed. You know that guy you call to fix your computer the one you hardly know the one who you don't really call a friend but you call when you break your fancy IOS gadget or other device and then pretend to get chummy with him/her? Well that person knows their not your friend they know your using them because your too stupid to fix your own shit. But they help you anyway because they are a nice person and you reward this by being passively polite to them for the week following your fuckup until that period of immediate gratitude is over and then you never call them again or ask them to hang out. And boom like clock work a few months later you break another one of your toys and repeat the process. And you know what that person fucking hates you. I hate you, and I hate that I was born with a natural curiosity and desire to look for solutions to my own problems so that I don't need to have to ask another person for help.
In closing if your one of those people who does that sort of thing to someone like me; seriously do us a favor and lose our number; its better to have you never call then to only call when you need something. Its frankly much more honest and less exploitative that way.

+ Show Spoiler +I had the same issue and that is how I solved it. I started stating a price and suddenly all the requests for help stopped. One person at work asked me for help and I said sure because they know lots of my family and would have felt bad. Big mistake. After that the flood gates opened. In one day I had four people ask me for help. I thus far have refused. I am not getting stuck in that trap. I have stuff to do that doesn't involve trying to clean people's virus-infested Windows machines. Chances are a day later it will be repopulated with viruses and malware anyway because people never listen to my advice and stay away from sketchy stuff.
If it is a Linux install, Android phone,iPhone, or Mac, I may look at it or teach someone how to do something (for a price of course) because I know those territories fairly well and actually like troubleshooting them because I usually learn stuff in the process. I won't touch Windows anymore, especially Windows 8. It's enough of a nightmare as is to troubleshoot weird behaviour, doubly so when people have done who-knows-what to it to get it to the messed up state it is in.

+ Show Spoiler +After almost 2 years of not laddering, I've finally started to get back into it. And goddamn do I suck. I'm trying to switch it up and play zerg this season but holy god, I got put into Gold league for some reason and I've lost every single real game so far. I can't believe how much better even gold league was than I thought it was gonna be. It's very discouraging to get back into, and I don't know if I'll continue to ladder much more. I have enough shit that makes me feel bad about myself, I don't need to suck at another thing

+ Show Spoiler +My Birthday was on 14th June. And Damn this was one of the worst birthdays I ever had. Nobody congratulated me (except parents and the thingy on TL here that detects your birthday). My only company were my two cats for most of the day. I mean how bad is that? None of my other relatives called me. Not even my friends, they didnt even come over. Ive never felt so lonely in a long time  . Well I was like "Fuck it, I get myself some weed and make myself a chilly evening." Bad luck, couldnt get any. I was so pissed about all the people that I know that I just went to bed very early. Almost sleeped half of the day for the most of my birthday.Not even World cup 2014 could cheer me up. Heck I didnt even stayed very long at my parents house cause I wanted to drink some beers with my father. Makes me really sad cause I wanted that my last birthday in the late 20s was something special. Man I wanted to celebrate a bit and hear music really fucking loud (I actually did that a little bit, like 1 - 2hours). FML. At least my presents were good. But to say it once again with a line from Lightning from FF XIII : " Worst birthday ever." .

All I get is 10 or so FB posts from friends. I was actually thinking of deleting every single FB friend and family member that doesn't wish me happy birthday this year but I'd have to removed around 70+ people manually and thats a headache

+ Show Spoiler +On my own note about frustration. There is this one fucking asshole at hockey. No one else complains about me at Drop-in-fucking-Beer-League Hockey games, but this guy. He's fucking old, and won't ever shut up. All he ever does is complain at me angrily and be an ass. He isn't even better than me despite playing for more time than I've existed on this planet. He's just an ass, literally every time I step on the ice, just a complete and total asshole. I've decided that I'm going to keep working to get better and just avoid the guy until I can be good enough to whoop him so hard that he has to shut up, but I know that will never happen and at some point I'll just have to confront him and tell him to shut the fuck up. It's so frustrating because he's such an ass to me for no specific reason other than the fact that I'm not as good as the guys that regularly carry him on the team. I play with people who mostly are Junior A and B level players along with guys that apparently had good shots at being pro but had to move to the South which killed that dream, so compared to them I suck serious D. He sucks serious D as well. Fuck this guy.

+ Show Spoiler +Holy crap thats pretty bad too. But imo FB friends dont mean that much ( except if you know some of them in RL). But I can understand your feel. Its just one of my mentioned friends I know for like 10 years and that gave me a really horrible feeling. I had a similar experience like this with another friend that I dont have any contact anymore and that made me very sad. I have a feeling that it can be similar with this friend too and that we lose contact. There were other birthdays that werent that good either but not as bad as this one. I wasnt even unfriendly or something like this to them thats why it made me think about it.

DHL is scum.
+ Show Spoiler +This post is about the shipping company, DHL, which is run by a bunch of fucking cunts, assholes, bastards, cocksuckers and motherfuckers. DHL is currently holding onto an item that we've ordered. It's worth $500, weighs about a tenth of a pound. DHL, unlike any other shipping company, is now refusing to send us the item because of some bullshit customs mumbo jumbo which is actually optional as fuck. They say they need a bunch of convoluted information from us to broker the fucking package through the customs office to us. And it's a lie. It's a fucking lie, because we order in tens of thousands of dollars worth of stuff from the US, Japan, Germany and other countries and only DHL ever gives us grief. The other companies get the fucking packages through and ask us to pay AFTER. They're asking namely for a GST number, which we don't have, and the person who might have access to this bullshit number that's totally unnecessary is my grandpa who's in the hospital with melanoma in his brain and other shit. We're all on edge here and DHL harasses us FUCKING DAILY to get it through. My mother is on the brink of a fully fledged burnout, she's 57 and works damn near 80 hours a week and I'm worried that she'll snap big time if grandpa doesn't make it. She works like crazy, and visits her dad at the hospital and spends time with my grandmother who has Alzheimer's, it's like I'm writing this right out of a fucking cheesy drama movie. And DHL, today, after 2 weeks trying to get this GST number, let us know that they're charging $5/day for storage. FUCK YOU DHL FUCK YOU YOU GOD DAMN DOGS. "Hey, just want to give you a heads up, we're extorting you while your fucking world is falling apart. I'm generally a fairly calm dude and I can handle some bullshit but DHL is killing me..... it's fucking killing me. When I told my mom about the $5/day thing, it nearly pushed her over the edge... her plate is full. Tonight she's taking some extra time to go see if she can dig up the GST number in my grandpa's mess of papers. If not... sigh. Feels related somehow http://www.theonion.com/articles/nations-cable-companies-announce-theyre-just-going,36254/

+ Show Spoiler +I avoid DHL like the plague. I once had a package that only had them as available shipping. They were so slow that not only did the company I bought the thing from agree that they must have lost it, but the replacement shipment (which the company used UPS's fastest international service) showed up a month before the DHL package did. They truly are a dreadful company. The company I bought the thing being shipped from said to just keep it because they had already filed paperwork with DHL over the lost item claim.
Obviously not even remotely as bad as your situation though. I hope everything ends up okay for you. Family stress is the worst.

+ Show Spoiler +We're not the only ones, that's for sure. From now on, I'll actively tell everyone I know how shit DHL is, and in every possible occasion, I'll avoid them. In fact, I'm willing to give up projects and future profits by not doing something if DHL is the only option. I'm done.
We'll pay the $75-100 we owe them for renting the world's most expensive doll-sized storage unit and then we'll never give them any money ever. As far as I'm concerned, they're stealing from us. And if it was just the money it wouldn't really care, $100 is nothing to the company... but having to get that GST number thing is BS

if the human body is the result of evolution why are the most important parts, like the anus and genitals, less robust than like the feet?
i wake up with a pressure in my perineum which i assume is just me having to take a shit so i sit down to take a shit but before you can take a shit you have to open the pissing muscles right but FUCK it's pain like i was dumping rocks out of my urethra
which it turns out is as apt an analogy there is because i point my urethra at my eyes to see what the fuck is going on and there are still just CLUMPS OF LIKE 2 MILLIMETER BLADDER STONES POURING OUT AND I LOOK IN THE TOILET BOWL AND THEY'RE ALL OVER THE WALL OF THE TOILET BOWL WHERE YOUR DICK POINTS WHEN YOU'RE TAKING A SHIT
2 MILLIMETERS DOESN'T SOUND VERY BIG EVEN FOR GRAVEL BUT WHEN IT'S DRIVING DOWN THE URETHRAL HIGHWAY IT MAY AS WELL BE A FUCKING BOULDER
I MEAN MAYBE I SHOULD DRINK SOMETHING BESIDES SODA AND ALCOHOL BUT FUCK YOU, BODY, CONTROL THIS SHIT I'M NOT A FUCKING GERIATRIC
i'm a genius though so i tricked my body, i realized all the pain is is nerves in my dick getting stimulated, and the dick is the same place where a lot of pleasure comes from the same nerves so i just told my brain don't worry about it you're having an extended orgasm with solidified ejaculate and it sort of believed me
