Man Expects Laptop To Be Fixed For Free


Absolutely beautiful. This tale of pure pro revenge should serve as its own kind of reminder that you just never screw with people that are in the tech support realm. If you do, you run the risk of complete and utter destruction. Or, just having your computer get decked out in a way you never would've approved of, with the added layer of not being able to do anything without the tech support wizard allowing it. Check out some more juicy pro revenge drama with this electric organ revenge that was years in the making.

Blue - r/ProRevenge + Join u/rhunter1980• 10d 1 2 3 3 8 3 Hey, can you fix my daughters laptop for free? Multiple times... To long didnt read at bottom. I feel this a moral pro revenge but if mods and others dont agree please feel free to remove it. A bit of back story/personal beliefs: I'm willing to help my friends, but we all know someone who has or have themselves a friend who is the group mooch. The kind of person who knows you're getting together and just shows up nothing in hand and expec

Text - My moocher friend isn't tech savy, like at all. He has zero respect for tech and constantly uses me as his go to man when stuff goes sideways, almost always his doing. This is from the olden days of Windows 8 being a fresh hot mess that was the next big thing everyone hated because it took the standard windows interface, beat it over the head with a bat, tossed the bloody corpse into a wood chipper, then proceeded to light the remaining slurry on fire with military grade napalm. (I hate w

Text - He had recently bought a laptop for his daughter since she was starting to need it for school and he wanted a mobile pc to use when he felt like it, pretty sure he just wanted it for himself but needed to convince the wife to ok the expense. Instead of asking me for input, he decide he was just going to go to big blue multi story and by cheapest laptop model that rhymes with hell. It took less then a day of him fighting with it to call me ask if l'd put windows 7 on it because he hated wi

4.

Text - I agree and he drops it off within an hour. I should note that this happened just after windows 8 dropped and there was no classic shell programs out that simply said "Fuck off new piece of shit tablet design we're using the old one everyone knows and can use", so my options were limited. Did an initial look at what I was getting myself into and lucky me, Hell had only put out drivers for windows 8 for this model. Yay! I do about 6 hours worth of hunting/downloading/tweaking drivers, and

Text - SHOCKING,I know... I just restore from the disk made and give it back same day. Let's see how long this lasts... Almost a week later, same thing... Again a quick restore and I give it back.

6.

Text - This time it took almost a whole 3 weeks till I got a text... Now l'm pissed, what the hell is he doing to this thing to fuck up the operating system. I finally took the time to look at the system and see wtf was going on. He had a bunch of cracked games downloaded and was trying to run those, a bunch of virus/malware on it, oh and a bunch of shady porn sites in his browser history. I'm livid, the only reason I kept fixing this damn thing was because it was supposed to be his daughter's.

7.

Text - My first step to fixing things my way was to make an admin account that only I had the info for and limit the other account to a limited user. When I talked to his wife I got a good idea of what his daughter really like as far as shows, games, etc. I then proceed to pimp this laptop out for a 10yr old girl. My little pony wallpapers (about 100 on rotate), the entire my little pony cartoon show stored directly on the computer, bratz, barbie, the works. I even redid the icons to a my little

Text - I personally delivered the laptop this time when the wife and daughter were home, the girly high pitched squeals of joy that nearly ruptured my ear drums made it all worth it. She went off on a joy induced tirade as I show her and her mom everything I did. Including all the shows and games I put on just for her. I then gave her a bright pink thumb drive with purple lanyard and explained that when she wanted to play the games or save anything the drive needed to be plugged in, I set the sa

Text - I knew it was only a matter of time till I got an angry text/call from my friend as soon as he got a chance to use the laptop I was waiting with gleeful anticipation. I had dropped the laptop off on Monday and I knew he wouldn't get a chance to use it till Friday when he got back from a trip he took. Cut to Friday night and I get a call around 8pm, which I ignore and let go to voicemail. I get 3 more calls every 5-10 minutes which I also ignore. Then I get a bunch of texts which I ignored

Text - Mooch: What's up?!?! This piece of shit laptop is busted that's what's up! I cant get anything to work right. I downloaded a game and tried installing it but it says I dont have admin rights. I restarted it and the game files were gone completely so I redownload it it but still couldn't install it. It's not even letting me browse the web! I thought you fixed this. WHAT THE HELL!!! Me: Calm down, I'm sure it's something simple. Let me remote in. Mooch: Wait you can do that?

11.

Text - Me: Yeah, I got sick of having to have it dropped off so I installed remote software. Let's see... first thing I do is remotely restart the system. Mooch: IT DID IT AGAIN!!! Me: What? Mooch: The game I downloaded is gone from the desktop! Me: Oh yeah, put software on the laptop that restores it to a default setting, anything not saved on an external drive gets removed. I gave your wife and daughter a thumb drive. Didn't they tell you it was needed? Mooch: No! What the hell! Why'd you do a

12.

Text - Me: Well I've had to fix this thing 3 times already and I got sick of it so I made sure anything you downloaded or tried to install would be deleted and blocked. You dont have admin rights, I do. Last time there was over a dozen viruses/malware from your games and the games you were trying to run would barely run on this laptop even if you had legit versions. Mooch: WHAT THE FUCK!!! insert 15 minute rant I didnt pay any attention to because I dont care Well why won't it let me browse the

13.

Text - Me: Yeah, I thought so. See, me being the upstanding guy I am, I turned on parental controls to keep web browsing safe for your 10yr old daughter. The fuck is wrong with you?!? Mooch: But... Me: No, no buts. It took a lot of work to get this thing working for your daughter's sake and then you use it as your personal play toy which I had to fix 3 times. I'm done with your bullshit, I made it so your daughter can use HER laptop when and how she needs, if you want to get your own laptop and

Text - Mooch: No... Me: Have a great weekend! click Having spent over 18 years in customer servive/Tech support so I went a bit nuclear on him but I had had enough of his shit. Reminded me of all to many times the problem isn't the hardware/software, it's the meat puppet smashing their face against the keyboard and wondering why stuff doesn't work. So I simply removed that part of the equation. Amazingly enough he didn't have anymore issues with that laptop. Wonder why? Only time I was gotten ah

15.

Text - To long didnt read: Friend uses me as personal tech monkey for his daughter's laptop he keeps breaking doing shady stuff on. So I pimp it out in girly shows/ games/themes and completely lock it down so he cant change anything with out me doing it. He bitches me out and I proceed to drop a bomb on him.
