This just got hilarious.
The problem:
Today I got a call from someone I don't know saying he got my number from someone I've never even heard of asking me for help to fix his Mac.
The Story:
I usually get random/anonymous emails asking me for help regarding their Mac. All in good will I do my best and try to resolve their problems if I can, but I never had anyone calling me on my cellphone asking for help.
I don't want to complain (I think I just did) because it's my pleasure to help but calling me on my cellphone without knowing who I am and what I do is wrong.
Conclusion:
I'm not your hotline Mac support team. If you have any problems regarding your Mac and think I can help email me, Do NOT call.
To the guy who called: Hope you're reading this.

NOOR! Haha, that cracked me up! I don't even remember posting that! xD
What are you? Blogger archive?! :D
If it was a girl I would have thought it was you but it was a guy. o(>_<)o
How was the convo? ;Pp
you got a lot of fans homme!
I need your help with my Mac?
The evil company is monitoring you!!
HUH!!! Some people are just naggy to get what they want!
Before I blogged, I used to write trip reports to my 300 closest friends. I would get letters starting "You don't know me, you don't even know the person I sat next to on the plane who gave me your trip report, but he used to be married to the sister of your best friend in college" LLOOLL. I always loved getting those letters, but I am not a phone person, and would HATE to have people I don't know calling me for trip information on the phone.
I am so bad that if the number isn't identified, I usually won't answer anyway, I am just not a phone person.
ah maybe its coz your fame has spread across the Internet ! :P
but someone actually calling you for support is wrong and creepy !
btw my friend has a problem with his mac book. I'll send you an email with the details, hope you can help.
noor:
Mashallah.
Better keep it that way. :P

Loolykinns:

Bashar:
True. :\
Intlxpatr:
Yeah that's my point. I'd love to help people but just not over the phone. :\
Mathai:
Solved?
He tried the steps as mentioned in your mail but the external mic still doesnt work. I'll be visiting him this week to check it out myself and then maybe I can send you a detailed description. Thanks for your help
LOL! ouch XD
I gotta admit it's kinda rude but also flattering.
Anyways, i think now's the perfect time to open up a mac workshop. You can earn extra money instead of *cough* blog advertising *cough* :P
*Feels like a mail spammer and decideds to stop asking questions*
LMAO x)
i think Mac should pay you
Mathai:
In response to your email...
Glad it worked. You're welcome. :)
Ms Loala:
LOL! Actually this is the most critical time of my life! Once I get past this phase I will make sure to consider starting a Mac-related business. ;)
Elijah:
Yes yes they should but I don't think they care about effort! :(
