Mac Support, Anyone?

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.

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.

Samara:

Anything for you mate. :D


Loolykinns:
*gasp* !!!



Bashar:
True. :\


Intlxpatr:
Yeah that's my point. I'd love to help people but just not over the phone. :\


Mathai:
Solved?

Mathai said...

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

Ms Loala said...

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*

elijah said...

LMAO x)

i think Mac should pay you

MacaholiQ8 said...

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! :(

:P
