My boss at my first job did this, I agreed though to come to her house at 9:00 PM to help her with the problem with her PC.
She had two glasses of wine ready and was in a bathrobe, nothing was wrong with her PC.
I had brought my wife just to be safe. It was an awkward evening.
So did she watch or join in
It was a nice, polite evening with pleasant socializing, and of course, a weird underlying tension that everyone knew was there but nobody said anything until my partner and I were driving home and had a good laugh.
I stayed friends with my boss for a number of years, she was often a bit "clingy" but I discouraged it gently when I could. It didn't help that she had a boyfriend.
It really didn't help that she often described her boyfriend as "murderous and psychopathic."
At least it isn't a pyramid scheme. Right?
for the last time its not a pyramid its a triangle completely different
Reverse triangle, like a funnel. Right?
This is why I wander down to IT every once in a while on a slow afternoon. I just figured that it must suck to have every conversation start with a problem, so I'll be the one person who occasionally shows up just to talk
The only people that show up to to chat are the janitors while cleaning and the maintenance guy that checks the fire supression system, I like it that way.
oh they know
Know what? Me? Because that's the whole point, I show up without a problem once in a blue moon and just chat
And when I do have a problem I call and it's all business, but we know each other already so neither of us are walking on eggshells
Thats how I got married. Asked some guy I knew on msn messenger to help me with my computer problem. He got really upset and ranted about people only reaching out to him cause they needed their computer fixed and never to ask how he was doing. So I asked him how he was doing. Married for nearly 20 years now.
And that's how you earn life-time free tech support.
That is a rollercoaster of a post with nothing but red flags in the middle.
is the red flag "man expresses loneliness and frustration"? is that the red flag?

Malicious Actor Red Flag: Username using template that is very easy to script for automated bulk account creation. For instance, something that combines a random word with a random number.
I wish they asked about me before demanding help
It doesn't really feel any better once you know that it's an empty pleasantry they don't really care to have an answer to.
Well they really do hope you're well enough to help them at least.
As a mechanic, this is my life.
When I was in college there were a couple times where women used the tech support thing as a pretext to hook up. I miss those days.
Back in my high school days, I worked at a small company that had like 3 or 4 tech guys, each one assigned to a specific building. The one assigned to ours, wasn't very knowledgeable on anything, was more of a tech enthusiast. So when anything would go wrong my manager would come get me first. Which then expanded to various co-workers asking if I'd come to their house to fix things. I helped fix so many slow running computers back in the day. Never charged anyone, I saw it as an opportunity to learn and practice. When I got to college, I FLEW through all the course material.
damn
i saw that meme and realized that i haven't contacted lots of good people in a while because of how ofraid i am to resemble the girl

Correct.
Roger. Copy.
I don't let anyone know that I am good with anything. I don't get any calls.
If I didn’t see the bottom left image, I would’ve thought this was a once-a-long-time-ago-acquaintance fallen victim to MLM.
Ok mom.
