I am normally a pretty nice person, but I absolutely hate when people think that my time is theirs to waste as they see fit. I have plenty of things that I would much rather do to waste a couple hours of my day. I don't need help from others.
Unfortunately, I have seemed to be getting a great deal of this type of help in the past week or so. For example, I have been trying to figure out a problem with a website for a friend of mine for the last two days. Seems she has multiple user accounts, passwords, and even upgrades on various accounts. Being the "computer" guy that she knows, it falls to me to figure out her screw ups. Now, I don't mind figuring things like this out. Actually, I find it rather fun and enjoyable. What I do mind is the fact that once I figure it out, and she's pleading with me to fix it, she refuses to listen to how to fix it, or even how it happened in the first place.
Seems real simple to me. Two accounts with upgrades, only need one, cancel the least priced subscription so at least if she is going to be out money it is the least amount that she is out.
Needless to say, she still has two accounts, two upgrades, and paying for two subscriptions because she refused to take action on anything. I ended up spending two days working on something for someone that I have no interest in other than she's my friend, only to leave it exactly the way it was. Well, that's not exactly true, I did change the emails she had listed with the accounts. So, in retrospect, two days to change two emails... A DAMN WASTE OF MY TIME!!!
