Why are people who are tech savvy typically blamed for computer issues.?
Posted under Registry Repair Software by adminFor example I was asked to have a look at a friends computer which was unbootable.
When I got there the machine was a mess, it wouldn’t boot to OS and I’m told that they weren’t using any utility software to protect their machine.
I rescued the data with a Linux boot disk, updated the BIOS, formatted and reinstalled the OS, then I installed a anti virus, registry cleaner and disk defragmenter.
Next thing I know, I’m being blamed for damaging their machine because it apparently boots slower than it used to (I don’t believe it for a second).
Another case could be my mum, I’ve always kept the drivers, backup/ repair disks safe, kept all the machines in house in very good condition, but my mum blames me the moment something strange happens or something breaks.
Once I tried to not touch (or maintain) any machine that didn’t belong to me and then I get the "you understand computers why haven’t you been looking after mine or the you let my computer break" argument.
Tell me about it….
People always want someone to blame, no matter how ridiculous it seems. I guess they feel that it makes them look bad so they want to shift the guilt and stupidity to someone else. And since we know what we are doing and they don’t, when it comes to I.T, they feel it is somehow our fault.
Just try to be calm because you can’t win an argument against ignorance and deal with it the best you can, not much else you can do, other than lose it and explain exactly how ridiculous they are being, not that it will get you any where in the long run.
eh it’s normal and it’s almost always a thankless job. don’t let word get around that you will do this for family/friends or they will never leave you alone.
People typically opt to blame a person over a machine. People who aren’t tech-savvy have no idea what someone is doing and are thus ignorant, so the first incident where something doesn’t go the way they want it to, they look for someone to blame.
If you want to help the person (for instance, if you fancy the owner of the computer), just do it.
For friends and family, always ask for a gift – a meal out, a bottle of wine, whatever. Insist – or you are too busy. Anybody who is rude to you, never help them again, and that includes your mum.
For people you don’t want to help, you are too busy with other commitments/ can’t get to you till Tuesday week/ I don’t know anything about that machine (or that version of Windows)/ there’s a thousand ways to saying no without saying NO..
been there you can not even imagine how many times and am sure by 100% it was not my fault
look but they are steel blaming me
do not take them seriously because they do not have any idea what they are talking a bought.
