At least it isn't a pyramid scheme. Right?

This is why I wander down to IT every once in a while on a slow afternoon. I just figured that it must suck to have every conversation start with a problem, so I'll be the one person who occasionally shows up just to talk

Thats how I got married. Asked some guy I knew on msn messenger to help me with my computer problem. He got really upset and ranted about people only reaching out to him cause they needed their computer fixed and never to ask how he was doing. So I asked him how he was doing. Married for nearly 20 years now.

I wish they asked about me before demanding help

As a mechanic, this is my life.

When I was in college there were a couple times where women used the tech support thing as a pretext to hook up. I miss those days.

Back in my high school days, I worked at a small company that had like 3 or 4 tech guys, each one assigned to a specific building. The one assigned to ours, wasn't very knowledgeable on anything, was more of a tech enthusiast. So when anything would go wrong my manager would come get me first. Which then expanded to various co-workers asking if I'd come to their house to fix things. I helped fix so many slow running computers back in the day. Never charged anyone, I saw it as an opportunity to learn and practice. When I got to college, I FLEW through all the course material.

damn

i saw that meme and realized that i haven't contacted lots of good people in a while because of how ofraid i am to resemble the girl

damn, right in the feelings dude, ouch

I don't let anyone know that I am good with anything. I don't get any calls.

The way I do this is to just straight up ask first. Then regardless of the answer, ask how things have been. I usually do want to know how things have been, and asking after the favor helps show I'm not just asking as a pleasentry.

If I didn’t see the bottom left image, I would’ve thought this was a once-a-long-time-ago-acquaintance fallen victim to MLM.

Ok mom.
