So my friend has over 31,000 pictures on her computer. I told her she needs to back all of that stuff up even if its just an external hard drive. She needs redundancy. She didn't do it. Now her hard drive broke and she's having a freak out. I helped her but when I said we need to go purchase an external hard drive she still refused.
File this under reasons why I should charge an arm and a leg for my services. Maybe If it costed more for me to fix it she would actually listen to my advice. Sigh.

Yep, friends shouldn't help friends - it causes bad situations.

I just make it too easy for them. People only put effort into things if it removes the need for more effort down the road it seems like. It took awhile for this to be fixed and I didn't have a lot of time to begin with. No one seems to consider that. I think I'm going to tell her to go to geek squad so she can get a taste of what other people are dealing with.

The next time something bad happens, yeah that's about your only way to force the issue.
Oh, something's broke? Well the first thing you need to do is get our your checkbook and write two checks. The first one is to Best Buy (or thatever consumer electronics store you have nearby) to buy an external drive, and second is a check to me for $150. If she refuses either, Well, I'm sure the guys at GeekSquad will be more than happy to help you. as I just don't have the time to assist you for free.

I say that 100% serious. I will not help people for free. Period. If they want help, they can do it themselves or pay someone. I send most people to a friend of mine with a shop in my hometown because his rate is lower than mine.

I don't work for free for people I don't know personally. And those that I do work for free, really we have more a symbiotic relationship. I do work for them, then do work for me, like car repairs, etc.
