15 Ways To Get Real Frustrated With Your PC

15 Ways to Get Real Frustrated With Your PC

I finally figured out this one client.

Since I teach all my clients how to fix and protect their PCs, I couldn’t understand why this one client frequently arrived at my office, broken computer in hand, paying me to fix it.

Every problem he presented was one I taught him how to prevent or fix himself, but it didn’t seem to matter. He was a really nice guy so I would explain the whole procedure again, show him how to do it, make sure he could do before he left my office … but he’d return again – with the same problem or one close to it. He even presented me some real whoppers from time to time. Teaching him was kind of like nailing Jell-O to a tree.

One day it dawned on me: in his mind a PC is supposed to have problems – something is supposed to go wrong or … it’s not right. I know there must be some old proverb written about that kind of mentality but I can’t think of it. If you do, let me know.

So, for those of you who enjoy PC frustration (or want a good laugh) here’s what you can do:

1. Instead of shutting down your PC, just flick the power switch on the back of the tower.
2. When you’re on the Internet, click “yes” or “ok” to everything that pops onto your screen, regardless of what you’re agreeing to.
3. Visit as many sex, gambling, and related sites as you can.
4. Download everything you can find on the Internet as long as it’s free.
5. Open every email and email attachment, no matter who it’s from.
6. DO NOT have your firewall turned on in your Windows XP and, certainly, do not install a firewall program for other versions of Windows.
7. NEVER update Windows with the latest patches and fixes.
8. DO NOT install an anti-virus program, and – if you have one – don’t update it or use it to scan your computer for viruses. Ever.
9. DO NOT install an anti-Spyware program on your computer.
10. NEVER clean your mouse or keyboard.
11. DO NOT have a good surge protector to plug in your computer, monitor, and other peripherals. Instead, use a six-outlet extension lead so that power surges, brownouts, and blackouts really do some damage.
12. Smoke, eat, and drink at your computer and make sure you dribble your drink, and drop your food, and flick your ashes on the keyboard. A lot.
13. Keep your tower out in the main area of the house -- where the pets shake themselves a lot -- so the hair clogs up your fan and other fragile parts of your computer.
14. Bang on your tower and monitor – A LOT -- to get them to go faster.
15. Call the help desk from work with a home computer problem. Make sure you’re on a 5-minute break.
