I appreciate that. I'm sure this is a "teach a man to fish" situation, but the problem here is that the guy's wife legitimately needs a computer to pay bills on and stuff. I'm not fixing it for him, I'm fixing it for her.

Somewhere in between. Like the bullet I'm starting to feel like putting between this guy's eyes. It's a long story. Apparently I've moved past the "novelty" phase and have settled securely on not liking this guy, just like nobody else likes him.

I set up this computer for them, for legitimate business purposes, and he fucks it up by surfing porn all day. And he brings it back because he needs it to go to "job sites" or whatever.
