My pesky friends think that my house is a cyber cafe :(

A few clarifications:

1. Do you charge them for browsing ? Or is it free ?
2. How can they just barge in ? Is the door always open ?
3. Do you have a parent/sibling/spouce who doesn't mind letting them in for browsing ?
4. Have you ever concidered telling them a plain NO when they come ?

use gandhigiri. always smile when they come to ur house and use ur comp. when they leave ask them to sit for a few more hours. after 3 days they will not bother u.

Encourage ur parents to learn computers and start teaching them ur pc just when ur friends are visiting..
ur parents will get the impression that the pc is 'busy'
heck u cld ask ur parents to pretend to be busy and sit in front of the pc when they are about to come .
Just open *www.typingtutor.org/ and ask your parents to (pretend to ) learn typing.

Or go one step further. Start preaching/teaching about really booooring stuff like ooooooold games, alternatives to Orkut existant in 1979, etc.

A BIOS Password will be useful. When they come, tell that you forgot the bios password, and you can't use the system for a few weeks till the repair guy comes and fixes it.

 

[Zeeshan Quireshi]

Simply hit Windows+L as soon as your friends come and don't tell them the password even if they threaten your life !

Lose the jerks, don't need friends like them.

This has happened with me once

and i have got rid of it by installing ubuntu on my system

they were unable to understand any thing and after saying

some **** gone. and if they ever when you have windows installed ask you to open your comp firstly tell them lemme do some setting first

open up the bios and

make computer mhz(overclocking) very high more high then the system can handle and when you will open your computer

voila you will get black screen

the comp will not open untill you clear off the cmos

and i definately know those fools must not be knowing this

thanks

wow... wat a creative advice there...

 

[praka123]

show the courage to say you dont want them working in ur pc.if they are really ur friends,they can understand.else leave their friendship.just say a fcuk off will do dont feel for their humiliation by you!

 

[adi007]

my suggestion...
allow them to use net for one day...
In the next day pack ur system and hide it somewhere..
tell ur friends that the system has got problems and tell them that it was because of them with a angry face..
tell them that u had given the system to some person to get repaired..after 2 days tell them that he charged some 5000 rs and again angry face has to be maintained..
tell them ur parents are angry and wouln't let the system on for more that couple of hrs. so finally tell them not to come to ur house for browsing because ur parents are angry..

the problem is that my parents think that those guys are my "near and dear friends" as they keep visiting me so often.....
