A week ago, one of my old friends asked for some help fixing their computer. Since I'm incredibly nice and incapable of saying no- I said sure, just tell me when, they said next Saturday night. Fine.

today I text them to let them know I was going to have my birthday dinner with my family, but I'd be available to come over immediately afterwards as we discussed. They said they wanted me to come over earlier because they have a birthday party to go to and later won't work. I wasn't about to miss my own birthday dinner, so I offered tomorrow afternoon. They said ok.

Just got a bunch of texts and a call- they're on their way home from the bar complaining and trying to coerce me into coming over to fix their computer now. At almost 11:30 at night. For free. Really dude? Fuck no. Now I don't feel like doing it at all. I'm not your tech support booty call -.-

Nono, my birthday dinner was done at 7. I said I'd come over at 7, they declined because they wanted to do something else so I went home, put on comfy pants and have been doing laundry/watching Netflix. Now that they're done having fun they want me to drop everything to accommodate them >.<

I'd tell them that you are sorry but they need to go to a paid service.

Because I hate confrontation, I would probably just send a text that said, "Sorry, something unexpected came up. Tomorrow won't work for me. Good luck with the computer." Then I would ignore them for a month or two.

That is so rude! If someone was coming to fix my computer for free, I would be so grateful and wait patiently for it to be convenient for the amazing friend doing me a favor. Ugh, I wouldn't even bother with them anymore.

It used to be my DH's life too, until he learned to say no. Now tech support is only for our immediate families.

Did you end up going today? Were they appropriately contrite about badgering you last night? Did they feed you or give you booze to take home?

I did not go.

While I didn't say anything directly, I'm pretty sure they know I'm pissed and haven't attempted to contact me.
