Re: The dirtiest four-letter word...
Same goes when visiting a friend/family member and they say "you know about computers - can you just take a look at..." which usually results in 3 hours of un-fun in the spare room disinfecting, reinstalling and updating a PC so rabid it should have been taken behind the shed and shot, whilst everyone else is downstairs merrily drinking tea & scoffing biscuits.
Simple, you say, sure, if you can (insert whatever they are able to do - weed my garden, mow my lawn, clean my bathroom, hoover, etc. etc.) for the same amount of time it will take for me to fix this. And, I will come back and fix it when convenient to me, not when I am supposed to be enjoying myself, or I WILL call you out to weed, hoover, etc. when YOU are supposed to be enjoying yourself. Deal?
