warning to anyone who fixes computers for a living
Hey Everyone,
Just passing on a incident that happened to me last night.
i work as a computer professional, but occasionally will do private work for cash, mainly on recomendations from friends.
last night i received a call from a friend who had recommended me to someone else, the person had problems with their computer freezing.
i give the guy a call and arrange to go over.
turn up and ring the doorbell and he shows me to the office. he has a corner desk setup with a full tower underneath the desk to a monitor on top. i noticed he had a half dozen chat windows up and with his cable connection i could tell he was a net freak.
he has a flashlight on a bookshelf next to the desk which i grab, i get to my knees and start to make my way under the desk.
i look at the side of the case facing me and there are large stains streaked along the side of the computer.(yes that kind of stain)
i jumped up from under the desk and abused him for being the filthiest human i have ever seen and told him there was no way i would fix his computer ever even if he cleaned it up. called him everything i could think of, before i walked out in disgust.
this is just a warning to all, that computers with large amounts of users harbour the most amount of germs. especially keyboards and parts with obvious stains.
so look before you touch.
