Thou shalt not hit on the tech.

Occasionally I'll tech support a computer for free. Usually only family, friends and neighbors in the apt building. (Though I do accept pizza and a bit of access time if they have high speed.)

The neighbor down the hallway, (who needs to bathe big time(I needed a gas mask.)) had her modem driver go bad. Don't really know what happened, but a re-install of the driver and a new anti-virus program fixed it. Though I also did a nuke-from-orbit re-install of XP.

The bad part is, the couple's 45 year old friend, decided to hit on 27 year old me. I will no longer help them again without pay.

Moral of the story, don't hit on the tech. It won't work if she doesn't outright slap you.

(Good thing I edited before I posted. All my sentences ended with a semi-colon.)

I think its a case of hero worship actually. That and a touch of pedo.

You might have something there, but as one of my boyfriends is 15 years older than me and the other one 7 years younger, I can't really comment on age gaps. :)

I don't mind age gaps, but when they're otherwise creeps, the age will squick me out. But then my dad's GF is only a few years older than me.
