Suity no-mates

Mate of mine like that.

Managed to do something(!) so that loads or porn pop-ups came up with IE. Phoned me in a panic to come and sort it out before his mrs saw it. Went down spent an hour deleting tulipe, clearing malware, viruses out.

He runs his own business. Week later asked him to do something for me (key cutting) which costs him 10p in materials, but he gets to charge £5. Do it for £4 for you he says. WTF!

Next time, put a delay on the porn pop-ups so he thinks they've gone permanently, but will come back at the worst possible moment.

Everyone one from CUK L2b Likes you.

Well apart from MS who said you smell. V said you are a bedwetter. MF said you were fat. And I think you make me look sane.

But apart from those, the rest like you.....

Well it's a bit like this. I needed him to do some work for me, which involved him getting some help from his contacts. So it was worth it to let him just get on with it, and orchestrate things. It was like "Oh and I need Craig to do XYZ, and that's an hour's work so he charges £45. Ok fine I said, and how long will it take you to get it over to Craig, wait about, check it over and bring it back. 2 Hours he says. OK so That's an hours of Craig's time, and 2 hours of your time. OK fine. Shakes hand.

So the day comes and his is gone less than 50 minutes. I asked him why it didn't take 2 hrs. It was just quicker than expected. He still charged me for 2 hrs, and gave Craig a £10 drink, even though before it was only likely to run to a £5 drink.

So I asked him to do a similar job for me, and suggested that as the previous job he charged for 2 hrs, and only did 1 hr I was in credit to the tune of 1 hr, and should therefore only pay him for 1 hr this time, which I am already in credit for.

Oooh boy.

And this time around it was now a £15 drink for Craig, and a £10 drink for him because of using his "contacts".

Or he knows I'm a contractor earning a good day rate and saw this as a chance to fleece me. Put him on the spot and ask him about it and he gets all lairy.

Do one you knob.

So you can't even roll and you need Craig to do it for you. It's no wonder you're getting ripped off.

And this calibre of fellow qualifies as a "mate" on Planet Suity" then?
Jeez, I hope you don't have many enemies there. They must wander round with chainsaws!!

[d000hg]

So you had one friend, who was actually your drug dealer, and now he's put up the price of weed and you have none.

Oh dear.

Do you get legal pot?

No, I saw the light and jettisoned him. That's the point of the whole thread. Either you're thick or a crap troll .......

I get it now

[suityou01]

Just have to get this on record. All above board, legal and nothing to do with drugs, but thanks for the defamation

[psychocandy]

Well that's fine because for a mere £20 you'll forget to mentiion the porn to his missus.
Actually, make that £50. Piss taker.

Got plenty of family members the same. IT work it seems is free for all. My time costs nothing it seems.

Remember my BIL a few years ago wanted something done on his laptop. Told him to drop it off and I'd have a look at when I get chance. (important bit). Week later hes moaning that its just not good enough that hes had to wait a week.

Pointed out to him he could have it done immediately if he wanted to pay someone else. If it was free, then he'd have to wait.
