A few days ago I helped a PLMM set up a computer. After it was delivered back to her place (it was someone else’s car, so I didn’t go), I’ve been getting phone calls from her nonstop lately, asking a whole pile of random idiotic questions, and I’ve had to make countless house calls. I’ve been mentally tortured, so here is a true record of what I’ve gone through these past few days:
1.
(Just got home) Her: Why is there no picture on the computer?
Me: ……Is the monitor turned on?
Her: How do I turn it on?
Me: …… (At this point I started to suspect this MM was either messing with me on purpose or just an idiot……)

2.
(Not long after that) Her: Why is there no sound from the speakers?
Me: Are all the cables plugged in properly?
Her: What cables?
Me: ……(I went to her place and saw it was plugged into MIC, so I plugged it back……)
Her: Why does it make sound as soon as you come?
Me: ……(Jeez, what did you think I was doing back there for so long just now?)

3.
Her: Why can’t my computer use Windows98?
Me: I installed Windows Me for you.
Her: Why didn’t you install 98?
Me: Windows me is a newer version, easier to use! (Feeling guilty)

4.
Her: How do I get on the Internet?
Me: I already set it all up for you. Just click the 163 icon on the desktop.
Her: Where is it? I can’t find it~~
Me: In Dial-Up Networking.
Her: It’s not there~~~ Me: ……How could it not be there?
Her: Oh, found it (10 seconds) How do I enter the account?
Me: No way!!! ……like this and that
Her: Oh…… then how do I enter the password?
Me: (Powerless) Like this and that.

5.
Her: Is the modem you installed for me really bad? Why is it so hard to dial out?
Me: (Hey, why don’t you ask the telecom bureau?) Mm, basically this is pretty normal……
Her: Why is the Internet speed so slow?
Me: (Why don’t you use broadband?) Mm, modem Internet access is still pretty slow, it can’t compare with the LAN at your workplace.
........

6.
Her: Why can’t I delete the Recycle Bin?
Me: ……Why do you want to delete it? (sweat)
7.
Her: How do I use vb?
Me: I made a shortcut for you on the desktop. Just double-click it.
Her: …………30 seconds later, I double-clicked it, now what?
Me: ………Now what? Use it?!!!! (Do you expect me to teach you vb over the phone?)

8.
Her: Why didn’t you install Windows xp for me?
Me: ……(You never said so!!) Basically, this……

9.
Her: The computer is broken~~~~ (her voice was almost crying)
Me: Oh, I’ll come right away. At her place
Me: …………………………(powerless)
Her: It suddenly stopped moving, I left it here and didn’t dare touch it.
Me: (presses reset) …………
She stared at me with wide eyes and couldn’t say a word, then after a long while said, “Is that really okay?”
If she weren’t pretty I would have………………

10.
Her: There are lots of the CDs you gave me that I don’t know how to use.
Me: Those are drivers…… they’re only useful when reinstalling the system……
Her: Then there are lots of the software programs you installed for me that I don’t know how to use~~
Me: …………………………

I’ve already been tortured beyond recognition, I’m so discouraged……… I hope nobody else runs into an MM like this in the future. The only thing I’ve gained is that my bad temper has been completely worn away; I don’t even have the strength to get angry anymore. Does anyone else have similar experiences?

Addition:
A new question from this morning:
Her: I borrowed a book, it’s about winme.
Me: …………oh…………
Her: The winme you installed for me seems a little wrong?
Me: How so?……………
Her: Why is the stuff on the desktop different from what’s in the book……
Me: (collapses onto desk) ………foaming at the mouth

Actually I’ve read this article before!
Looks like you left some parts out!
The feeling the original gave people was,
that these two fell in love!
