It's fine if you're 'not good with computers' and need help. Ask me politely and sure I'll see how I can help and teach you what you need so that you can do it yourself in the future.
It's not fine, however, if you refuse to fucking learn after the millionth time I've taught you how to do the exact same thing because 'It's too hard' and 'I won't understand anyway'. And then proceed to call me a bad and ungrateful friend because I can't come to your rescue the very second you need me and don't seem 1000% enthusiastic to help at 1am in the morning when I'm still doing my own work.
Sure, I'm the 'tech person' amongst our friends. I *do* understand the frustration you experience when something isn't working. But that doesn't mean I'm obligated to be your 24/7 IT support, while listening to your complaints of how I was probably the one who fucked it up in the first place when I helped fixed your phone/laptop last time (for the record, this was *never* the case).
UGHHHHHHHH
ps: I just found this community and I love it already! Thought this mental rant I had earlier would fit right in lol

Do you have any annoying you want to get rid off, but you can't because of reasons?
I do. They are 4, but for now I'll talk about the gold medal winner.
When we met about 8-9 ago, she had just come back to town due to some very bad personal experience (not her fault). Anyway, she is polite, but her major flaw is that she is pushy. REAL BAD! And she gets mad when other people (including me) try to do it on her. Another one is having calls during random inappropriate times, because she had fight #N with her boyfriend, and last but not least, she will call when needs something out of someone.
Lately, her project is finding us a job, since we're both unemployed. Any job. The sad part is when she sends me job ads for dev jobs I don't qualify, e.g. Company X is looking for a dev with Y year of experience, knowing A, B, C & D technologies. I've told her that I don't qualify for most of the dev jobs she sends me, but she insists I should send my CV anyway, cause of reasons. Also, for some reason, I should be accounted to her for all my current choices when what I would honestly say is "BUG OFF".
Her latest endeavour is getting me one of her friends (a psychologist) as a "client". Her friend wants to have a professional website with writing posts/articles as a side dish. I'm not registered as a freelancer, so everything will be done under the counter, and her friend is OK with that. I'm no web developer, but I didn't refuse because of her backlash and also that would be a positive experience for me. Now, the juicy part. She gave her my phone number without my permission and she told me straight away. Her plan was having the three of us meet, though I don't know why and I didn't want her being around. I asked her to call me immediately, which it didn't happen. After being pestered by my friend for a couple of weeks if her friend called me, she finally did it on Monday. She didn't say to me anything I didn't know, but at least I have her phone now.
What I can offer her is a website skeleton with the usabilities she's asking. What I can't offer her is graphics/banner and security. And now I have to come up with reasonable price. Teams here ask 400-600€ for a complete website the way she asks, including VAT. I'm thinking around 100€ and I don't know when I can deliver the project. I've had some experience with Ruby and Sinatra, so I'll go with that, and I'll learn CSS along the way.
Thanks for reading till the end! 😃4 -

People who don't smoke/drink often underestimate the power of smoke breaks that people take in the office.
To others it might seem like something colleagues do outside for 5-10 mins but it literally is not the case.
In 2018 at an office job I worked at, the HR, marketing head and a dev colleague all separately used to drag me out in the balcony at different times. They didn't wanna smoke with each other, just alone with me.
I knew everything about them starting from where they studied, their work history, their salaries, routines, their married lives, how they feel in and out of the office, what they are depressed about. More than anything I needed to know about them..
It didn't result in personal gains or anything but it wouldn't have happened if I was then a non smoker.
Remember that episode in Friends where Rachel had to forcefully take up smoking to socialize with her colleagues? It's completely true11 -
CONNECT WITH RECOVERY EXPERT TO HELP YOU GET BACK ACCESS TO YOUR SCAMMED BITCOIN/INVESTMENT MONEY FROM ANY UNTRUTHFUL ONLINE PLATFORM..
It was supposed to be the investment of a lifetime. I had accumulated $182,000 over the years, a fortune that represented decades of hard work, strategic decisions, and a bit of luck. When I was approached by what appeared to be a cutting-edge cryptocurrency investment platform, I was intrigued. The platform promised revolutionary returns through advanced trading algorithms and exclusive market insights. Against my better judgment, I decided to take the risk. Within weeks of transferring my Bitcoin to their platform, the unthinkable happened. The website went offline, the support team vanished, and my funds were gone. I had fallen victim to a sophisticated scam, and the weight of my loss was crushing. I felt a mix of anger, regret, and despair. How could I have been so careless? Desperate for a solution, I began researching ways to recover stolen cryptocurrency. That’s when I discovered *this website RECOVERY EXPERT service*, a company renowned for its expertise in blockchain forensics and ethical recovery services. Their mission was clear: to help victims of crypto scams reclaim what was rightfully theirs. I reached out to RECOVERY EXPER, half-expecting another dead end. But from the very first conversation, their team was different. They listened to my story with empathy, asked detailed questions about the scam, and assured me they would do everything in their power to help. Their confidence gave me a glimmer of hope, but I braced myself for the possibility that my Bitcoin might be gone forever. The team at RECOVRY EXPERT sprang into action. They explained that while cryptocurrency transactions are often considered irreversible, their advanced blockchain forensic tools could trace the movement of stolen funds across the blockchain. They collaborated with legal experts, cybersecurity specialists, and international law enforcement agencies to track down the scammers. The process was grueling and required immense patience. There were moments when the trail seemed to go cold, but the team at Galaxy Ethical Tech never gave up. They kept me informed every step of the way, providing regular updates and answering all my questions with clarity and professionalism. After weeks of relentless effort, I received an email that made my heart stop. RECOVERY EXPERT had successfully traced and recovered my lost Bitcoin. I couldn’t believe it,my $182,000 in BTC was back in my wallet. Tears of relief streamed down my face as I read the confirmation. It felt like a miracle. The team didn’t just stop at recovering my funds; they also provided me with invaluable advice on how to secure my digital assets and avoid future scams. They emphasized the importance of using secure wallets, conducting thorough due diligence, and staying vigilant against “too good to be true” investment opportunities. Looking back, I can confidently say that RECOVER EXPERT saved me from financial ruin. Their expertise, persistence, and unwavering commitment to ethical practices turned what seemed like an impossible situation into a story of redemption. I will forever be grateful to them for giving me a second chance.

HOW TO USE SPY APP TO CATCH CHEATING HUSBAND- GEARHEAD ENGINEERS SPYWARE
I have always trusted my husband and our marriage was built on years of mutual respect, shared memories, and a life we were proud to have built together. But recently, I couldn’t shake the nagging feeling that something was off. My husband started being distant—his phone never left his side, and he had become unusually protective of his privacy. Last Wednesday, I couldn't ignore the feeling that something was wrong. I have never been the jealous type, but the signs were hard to ignore. My intuition screamed that there was more to the story. After some searching on the web, I stumbled upon an app designed to track someone’s phone which is developed by a cyber security company called GearHead Engineers. To make it easy for anyone interested in the app, just email them through gearhead(@)engineer(.)com. It wasn’t something I was proud of, but my gut told me it was the only way to know the truth. I paid for the services, received the spy app that linked his phone to mine and the app began pulling up messages, call logs, and social media activities. I remember how my heart sank as I scrolled through conversation after conversation with a woman named Rachel. The messages were flirtatious, filled with inside jokes, and included plans to meet up. I felt a wave of betrayal washing over me as my worst fears were confirmed. I still haven’t gathered the courage to confront him because I’m still in shock. So I’m still spying on him.1 -
LADIES, HERE IS HOW TO FIND OUT IF YOUR HUSBAND IS HAVING AN AFFAIR- CONTACT WEB BAILIFF CONTRACTOR
I had always trusted my husband and our relationship was founded on years of mutual respect for one another, shared memories, and a life that we could proudly say we had shared. But recently, I couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong. My husband started to distance himself—his phone was glued to his hand, and he had become highly secretive about his privacy. Last Wednesday, I couldn't help but feel like something fishy was going on. I am not usually the jealous kind, but things were indicating otherwise. My instincts yelled that there had to be more. After doing some research on the internet, I discovered an application designed to spy on someone's phone created by a firm that deals with cyber security named Web Bailiff Contractor. To make it easy for anyone who desires the app, just send them an email at web bailiff at contractor dot net It wasn't something I was comfortable with, but my gut told me it was the only way to get to the bottom of things. I paid for the service, received the spy app that synced his phone with mine and the app began pulling up messages, calls, and social media activity. I remember feeling my heart drop when I scrolled through one conversation to the next with a girl named Rachel. The discussions were playful, full of jokes and plans to see each other. I felt betrayed when my worst nightmares came true. I haven't worked up the nerve to go up to him yet because I'm still in shock. So I'm still stalking him1
