Fed-Up Apple User Posts Amazing Craigslist Ad (PICTURE)


First Posted: 06/30/10 06:12 AM ET Updated: 05/25/11 05:20 PM ET

This guy needs help understanding his computer. Also; his keyboard. But what did you expect? This guy is a technologically inept lawyer who is willing to pay you $200.00 an hour to figure out how to make his devices "synch." That's actually a pretty sweet deal, so we think we might give him a call. We'd have to call, you see, as we'd assume he's not tops at emailing. (via Ex-Genius)

Tech support guy....$200/hour
Pajanimals song....$0.99
Paying $200/hr to save paying twice for a $0.99c song....priceless

As much as I'd love to think this is a fake..... I talk to people like this *all* the time for my job. And no, it isn't tech support! But it is over the phone.

Judging from his communication skills and never ending four letter words...If he is a lawyer his clientele must be complete lowlife bottom feeder's...most likely he wrote in Bush/Cheney during the last election.

Sounds like a parody ad from somebody with too much time of his hands.

Instead of going through craigslist which now has a notorious rep for anonymous hook-ups and hookers and fake listings, why not just grab the old fashioned yellow pages and call a reputable computer tech service? They might be pricey but you will get a professional as opposed to god knows what if you go through craigslist. Craigslist creeps me out. I have heard all kinds of stories about it being the go to place for sleazy guys to post pics of their genitals and for others to post ads for their "massage" services. Has anybody ever watch supernews on current tv? In many episodes, they show these hilarious craiglist spoof cartoons all the time. Craiglist is, from what I understand, becoming sleazier each day and is quickly developing as a place to avoid if you have a legit classified posting. It seems to only exist for anonymous hook-ups, fake spam type ads, "massage" services, etc.

If he has such trouble understanding this stuff why does he have so many devices? 6 PC's!! He must have a large household or instead of simply upgrading cpu software/memory he must just be buying a new pc twice a year. I am not sure I understand exactly why he has so many devices. And honestly if his kids are smart enought to know how to use all these devices and to figure out how to access his acct. and order this stuff, why can't they show their old man how to work them? I myself don't have an iphone or an ipod not because I can't figure them out but rather have issues with cost and time. #1 Everytime I have considered getting an Ipod, a better version comes out a few months later. #2 I don't listen to music enough to have my entire music library with me at all times plus downloading all the songs onto the ipod would be time consuming. I only listen to music when driving or cleaning the house so radio works just fine for my needs. I only download maybe 5-6 songs a year onto computer. I just don't have the time to set everything up with a new ipod. Most of my music is on CD's (from years ago) and I have no idea how to copy onto an Ipod anyway.

Isn't there some password control or something he can do to block his kids from order apple products? Isn't there a way to make acct. not save cc #'s? can't he get new acct #'s or close his apple store acct. or something? I don't know much about apple store in general - I just have my 3 yr old dell desktop and my plain ol' 2 yr old samsung cell phone but I have basic computer understanding and as I understand it, he could return this stuff back to the store or change acct. #'s or something besides vent on craigslist. But sometimes you need a computer geek to help you out. My computer started flipping out last year and was having internet connection problems. I called at&t yahoo and talked to their tech dept and got some lady in india whom I could not understand. I ended up calling geek squad and even though it cost me $200 for 90 min. visit it was worth it as he got my internet connection restarted and fixed everything. The Indian tech lady was useless and I was tired of her lame advice to unplug and then plug back everything and to re-boot the cpu and all that. No matter what your issue is, the call center tech people always advise to unplug and replug everything and to re-start.

I am proud to report that I wrote the Pajanimals song that his kid keeps downloading.

$200/hour would be great for me, even if it was for putting up with a passive-agressive lawer for an hour while I show him how his stuff works. Now if only I lived in Richmond....

He must be on the Microsoft legal team. He has been assimilated into the Microsoft Borg, which would explain his technological and communication skills.

This is a lie. Apple stores sell 'One to One' for real people that confused.

The misspelling is a clue.

This is hysterically funny, Steve Jobs himself should show up on this guys doorstep (after a background check and with security). I'm saving this page for when I'm having a bad day, this is the funniest unintentionally funny thing I've ever seen.
