At first, you might be thrown off, cause it almost seems like they're not about to be an entitled, choosing beggar. In short time though, things escalate, and suddenly we have a choosing beggar showing their true face. They basically assumed that the very stranger helping them with computer tips, would also pay for the parts they recommended for purchase. Nope, that's not how it works.

    Text - THU 2:45 PM Thank you for any help you can give! He said he wants to play COD4, Fortnite, GTA5, and Rocket League. If it saves me money thatd be awesome! TIA THU 5:12 PM No worries, I can help where I can. You can now call each other and see information like Active Status and when you've read messages. First thing to know is there's about a dozen parts to a computer, I tried to make a list where you can get them all from one location while being as close to $700 as possible. https://ca.pc

    Text - The good thing about computers is they can be upgraded piecemeal, so if or when that video card is not enough, it's not a big deal just swapping that one part. 6:18 AM That's great! Let me know whe nyou can order them 9:13 AM Pardon? You'd have to order them or find them in store. It's easy to build a computer, I can even help along the way, but you'll have to get the parts first. What? I asked for help getting my son a computer

    Text - Product - Right, I'm helping you get a parts list made. Did you think I was going to pay for it? I'm sort of lost. Thats what it means by help no? If you're not going to help, get lost. Youve already w\asted my time You said you know nothing about computers. I'm helping you build one by suggesting parts to buy. I even would have traveled to you to assemble, maybe show you or your son how it's done so you'll know for the future. I never agreed to pay for it, too.

You're out of your gourd thinking a stranger would give you $800 computer for free. wow the nerve Thanks for getting my sons hopes up, he really wanted a computer and I thought you were going to help. Thats why I asked on a help group It might come as a surprise to you, but I don't give a shit about your son. I've given the extent of my help, either use what I said or stop messaging me.

    Text - Font - setzRFD 2y Some context: CB asked in a local advice-wanted group for where to get a good gaming computer for their son around $700. I explained a bit on what to look for and how it's generally cheaper to build one yourself in the group, when they wanted to take it to PMs. I guess since I offered to help, they thought l'd be funding it, too. 12.6k ...

    Text - Font - SinXtreme · 2y I used to build computers for free for friends, family and people who asked nicely. There are probably a handful of post-worthy stories. Something about computers is completely beyond a certain kind of people. My favorite quote after I finished the job on a shiny $2000 gaming rig: "So how can I earn money on Twitch now? I need to make my money back to pay rent and stuff. While you're at it set it up so it makes me money with the BitCoin too, mate" I wrote "used" beca
