- d2002, on 11/17/2008, -16/+629The weird thing is you can't walk up to a secretary and just say "hey you're good at cooking want to fix me a BLT later?" And yet it is totally acceptable to ask tech folks to fix your godamn computer.
- IniNew, on 11/16/2008, -3/+400I'm going to use that one day.
- Avaseal, on 11/17/2008, -6/+280that Dilbert is one crazy-ass *****.
- dupswapdrop, on 11/17/2008, -16/+238Sure I will fix your computer just have your girlfriend dropped off at my house naked and ready to go! Remember the better she is the faster your computer gets fixed.
- wrathchilde, on 11/17/2008, -0/+212Wow. You get food? Sweet.
- BiIlyMays, on 11/17/2008, -26/+238***** you, I killed two of my friends after they asked me that
- Vorin, on 11/17/2008, -3/+204since i'm in college, i get lots of people with abused/spyware laden/old computers, i do quite a bit of work on them, but unfortunately my primary payment has been in food. and there's still some outstanding fees i have yet to collect.
- ultrafez, on 11/17/2008, -23/+161It should be acceptable to ask that. What else are women for?
- sourceholder, on 11/17/2008, -2/+139You replied to yourself? Wow.
- d2002, on 11/17/2008, -0/+117That's tough but fair.
- mishabear, on 11/17/2008, -1/+93Be careful what you wish for. I've seen the girlfriend. I'd rather work on the PC.
- Vorin, on 11/17/2008, -0/+87i think you misread that.

- oo7evan, on 11/17/2008, -16/+98Everyone knows comparative literature majors can't clean gutters. What they can do I don't know.
- Arramol, on 11/17/2008, -1/+80I'd be so much less frustrated by it all if they'd at least listen to my advice so that I don't have to come back later and fix it again. I do not understand people who buy expensive machines that hold very sensitive personal and financial data and don't learn how to use them.

try sudo- - bigj5150, on 11/17/2008, -3/+79--Knock, Knock
--Who's there?
--Me, wondering why you're not naked. - Llanowar, on 11/17/2008, -2/+73Sure thing. I'll have her at your doorstep in no time.
I'll make sure she brings her strap on and whip. - Mujokan, on 11/17/2008, -4/+68I never quite realized how bad Microsoft interface design was until I tried to explain to an 85 year old neighbor why you have to click on Start to shut the computer down.
- ThaDRD, on 11/17/2008, -10/+72Cooking, cleaning, and vaginas.
- mishabear, on 11/17/2008, -2/+62You might ask the secretary to type up your resume, however.
- tgc1, on 11/17/2008, -2/+60This sort of attitude seems to suggest to me that people generally look DOWN on tech people not up. They have no respect. I get that question a lot. I usually do it because i'm a nice guy, but often times... I don't know man.
- fxu1989, on 11/17/2008, -1/+58NOW WE'RE TALKING!!
WOOHOO!!!! - ajbl, on 11/17/2008, -1/+58This repair is going to be a PICNIC.
Problem In Chair Not In Computer
Much better. - Krissam, on 11/17/2008, -4/+58-- Knock, Knock
-- Who's there?
-- I's me again, still wond'ring why you're not naked! - cl2yp71c, on 11/17/2008, -0/+53He's a comparative literature major.
- hospitalcio, on 11/17/2008, -1/+54Did you grout your gutters?
- GorfTron, on 11/17/2008, -1/+54People are pretty shameless when asking for computer help. Even worse are the follow up calls, because you see, my free work has a warranty.
- born2slippy, on 11/17/2008, -3/+54i use a slightly different answer when i'm asked the same question: no.
- mst3kcrow, on 11/17/2008, -2/+51You don't need to go to college for that.
http://www.xkcd.com/451/ - theonlywizdum, on 11/17/2008, -4/+49I charge a minimum of $20/hr. Parts costs up front plus 2 hours pay before I even look at someones computer. That cut down on the "make it go faster" requests I was getting.
- gavin422, on 11/17/2008, -1/+43I think they can compare literature. Or so I've heard.
- logpony, on 11/17/2008, -2/+44I bet you have a ton of friends.
- BRadfromBelair, on 11/17/2008, -1/+42If you are really having trouble with payments, password all the accounts until they pay.
Works even better if they have a paper coming up. - Defiant001, on 11/17/2008, -2/+41Thats the first time one of these comments made me laugh AND I dugg it
Well done - zacharytelschow, on 11/17/2008, -1/+39I'd have difficulty estimating how many people are unable to connect to wireless networks unassisted.
- GregFD3S, on 11/17/2008, -16/+53Problem Exists Between Keyboard And Chair.
- GorfTron, on 11/17/2008, -1/+38Lets face it, USB has let a lot of us off the hook of the hard jobs of the past. Remember our friends IRQ and DMA?
- theonlywizdum, on 11/17/2008, -0/+36My friends can fix their own damn computers. This is not a charity.
- Mujokan, on 11/17/2008, -0/+34Unfortunately that guy is dead now, or he might be pleased. He just solved the problem by turning the computer off at the wall when he was done.
- ileftfark, on 11/17/2008, -0/+33Your life ... is AWESOME.
- DaFixer, on 11/17/2008, -1/+33We use, "This is an ID ten T problem" (IDIOT)
- youannoyme, on 11/17/2008, -0/+32USER is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported
awww sh*t... Admin's going to kill me now... - Magnj, on 11/17/2008, -0/+29I rarely get an honest thank you let alone food, *****
- Dotcommer, on 11/17/2008, -0/+29I demand sex in payment for fixing your computer.
needless to say... its been a long time.. since i've fixed a computer... :( - inigomntoya, on 11/17/2008, -0/+28Yeah - most people don't need their computer fixed THAT bad...
- NathanielJ, on 11/17/2008, -1/+28Considering this is funnier than 95% of the webcomics that get FPed here, I for one am willing to make the switch.
- trickynumber7, on 11/17/2008, -3/+30Why don't women need umbrellas?
--It doesn't rain between the bedroom and the kitchen! - SirFragsMore, on 11/17/2008, -1/+28Who is Surely?
- ThsGuyRightHere, on 11/17/2008, -0/+26I feel bad for the first one, but have no sympathy for the second. Not a very fast learner apparently.
