...when friends expect you to do free work for them because you work on the computer. And "it will only take a second."
This friend emails me a photo and tells me to do something "cute" with it so they can send it out as a Xmas card.
I said yeah sure, as soon as you send your husband over here to do personal security for me for free. (He's a cop)

i just dont do it anymore. my brother is convinced im going to make him a website but its never going to happen. not a chance. he says he can *pay* me.. but obviously he'll be wanting a family discount.. expecting to get like a 10k site for 1500 bucks or something. and the headache that comes along with it... sorry bro.. no way.

tell them you'll do the card if he gives you a tazer gun...that'd be sweet
- grayhood0
nice fucking gif!!!!!!!
- gruntt0
use that tazer on the NEXT person that asks you for free work. When they stop crying and twitching tell them that the shock was free, everything else you pay for.

but ric... seriously...
he'll really want all kinds of crap and be like "but i cant afford to pay what your clients pay" and he'll totally play the brother card. and then i cant screw him over cos then he'll tell MOM and it'll be all messy.. and if i bitch and complain then its like "why are you bitching and complaining about helping your brother?" so.. i just make sure im always "busy" and i cant do it. i love you bro -- sorry.

I made my own wedding invites and DVD and tweaked most of the crappy pictures we had taken. Now my whole family hits me up with work...
"Make me cards to send out for Christmas.."
"You can clean up these photos right?"
"Hey, you know about computers- can you help me set up my new computer"
"Can you make us a painting for the house..."

I cant take it.

designerror thats wicked. right on the nail

So you do a Christmas card kind of like Elaine's on Seinfeld, and put something small and obscure and "graphic" hiding in it somewhere, just like her N was.

"its free to shoot pictures now right?"
as long as you dont mind me asking your girl to blow me... i mean... she is a ho!
