Makes me want to tear my hair out when they ask me for assistance

ProTip: stop offering assistance to people who come to you for advice/assistance and then immediately disregard your response.

I had family that did that all the time with their computers (I had a computer repair business), and constantly complained about performance, but weren't willing to change their behavior after asking for advice to make it run better/not be a pile of shit in a month.

Funny how charging customer rates instead of friends and family rates made them either figure their shit out, or stop coming to me every 6 weeks expecting a cheap fix to their lack of willingness to improve things. Either way, I stopped hearing about their exact same issues over and over, so problem solved.
