That's a good question!!

June 23, 2025 7:42pm CST
I do some jobs for people with their phones, puters ,internet and TV etc Today I sold a guy a galaxy a13 , pristine, battery 100% etc etc, unlocked And he moaned about the music on it not being loud enough - same as when I got him fixed up with a laptop - moaned about the volume. Got him sorted with Fibre Optic, unlimited at £50 per month and he moaned about the price - I explained he wouldn't get wall to wall fibre optic unlimited with a smart hub and extender and a *"'""" halo for that price anywhere else. His smart TV I fixed him up with he moaned about the viewing angle. I told him to move his chair a foot to the right but he couldn't manage because of all the shite lying about. He is a hoarder first class. He expected me.to clean up and move his chair with him on it. I says to him FFS get out of the chair so we can move it. I've got sore legs he said, not much wonder he gets walking confused with wan.... , got the viewing angle perfect. Of the telly, not what you are thinking Mission accomplished So I'm leaving his mould ridden hot house, no windows open, shite on the carpet, heating on - that's right heating on, and he pipples up With Can you try and make this phone work? He hands me an ancient Samsung sm something or other. I plug in the charge, nothing, removed battery, expired 2010.. I asked him how long the phone had been lying He said that's a good question That is his answer anytime anyone asks him even the simplest question So I put the phone back together, plugged it in again and the big round shape battery icon appears Charging Omg he started crying...... I couldn't handle this, really couldn't, Here was this blubbering 74 year old lazy lazy needs spoonfed poor excuse of a man keeping me from whet was really important, Yvonne, and she has been under the weather for a few days and I wanted to get back to her So I asked him why he was crying, you guessed it, I asked another good question It was his late brothers phone, So he stared crying when he thought of his been dead 15 years brother how nice I said look I have to go Omg it's can you put the SD card in old phone for me and take the photos off and put them on SD card. Surprisingly it only took a out 5 minutes Installed SD card on new phone I handed him everything Lifted up my helmet put it on went to door I asked him if he would let me out .. And he replied .that's a good question

This made my morning, I woke up somewhat dazed and on the wrong side of the bed, but you made me smile and laugh (a little) - not really rolling on the floor. "What was the name of the guy?" Is this a good question? You must have Herculean patience when dealing with old people like me. We're obnoxious at times and extremely irritable, sorry for that. You have dealt with it wonderfully, kudos to you!

Well apparently you got out!! You got a post up for us. This guy sounds like a card. You might consider telling him you are not doing the work anymore, just too much going on in your life right now.
