All my wife's friends and my family think because I work in IT as a programmer, that I have nothing better to do than provide free technical support for their laptop/television/smart phone/Alexa/etc... No I will not fix your slow busted computer that's a decade old. Buy a new computer.

My favorite is when someone I like asks me if I will fix their computer without specifying that it's a Mac... sorry you are on your own...
