ok, so the way i'm going to put this is sorta unorganized, but screw it.

 

So i'm christian, somewhat, i'm raised in a christian home and my parents have strong beliefs, But i'm not the same, I believe in the basic principles, and i believe being gay is a sin, But its not the same as some other peoples views.

I am going to disagree with your life choices, But what i am not going to do is criticize you or punish you for them, Its not my place, and its not my job. I'm more neutral than anything else, I don't like it, But i don't care, You do a job, Who cares, That's like saying this. I'm a brony, and im working on someones computer, And once im done, and i state the payment like you did, And they say "fuck off ya pony fucker" its not fair to me, as they are making assumptions that, that has anything to do with the work ive done, and if they were gay, they would be the biggest hypocrites ive known. But, If you do the job without your personal life interfering, They have no reason to deny you payment

So Mr uwillparish, you are never going to have sex for pleasure?  Only for procreation?  The answer is no.  So someone could look at your desire to want to f*ck as a sin.  How does that sit with you?

So sex for pleasure is okay (not a sin) between one woman and one man.  Why?

as much as the laptop was a pos :P i dont break computers.....unless they're completely unrepairable.

 

 

 

just gonna edit this in quick.  agreed camul

even if it wasnt about the sexuality. even if it was just because he didnt wanna pay or because of how far or close my eyes were to my nose. it makes no difference. he shoulda payed for the service he received. end of point.

 

i may have peeked at your profile........next computer i fix im using that 10$ to send that sumbitch like. 2 lb's of glitter.

im still confused as to why you gave him his computer back if he didnt pay.

The guy who's refusing to pay him seems to feel he's justified in his refusal.

 

Also, I'm not defending him. It's not an "either or situation". This isn't just a 'cut and dried' 'black and white', 'gay or straight' situation.

 

You could literally reduce this stuff down to a formula, literally, and trust me, it's not just a binary proposition.

Speaking of not binary things, sexuality is also not binary :P

 

Yes, this is a cut and dry situation. By giving the OP his laptop to fix, he entered into a contract in which he would give the guy money for him to work on his computer. At the end of the contract, the guy didn't give him the money. He can't say "Well I don't have to pay you because you're demisexual." He owes him $15 for services rendered, if he does not want the services at the end, too bad. You can't get your car washed and then go "Oh, actually, I don't want it washed" and drive away without paying.

 

Also, write up an agreement for yourself and the consumer outlining your rights to things handed over to you in the event you will not be paid.

 

This, you can find lots of free contracts online that you're allowed to edit for your own uses, I would suggest getting one of those. Keep in mind, a contract does not need to be in legal terms to be valid, a plain English contract is still completely valid. 

 

I don't know what to say to you man, it sounds like the guy's got a screw loose. There's a time and a place for making a stand but I don't think this is it.

 

Just text the guy his password and (if you can do so truthfully) tell him that you had no idea that he would have been so upset by this and that had you known you wouldn't have taken the job.

 

...and yes, I know things shouldn't have to be like that, but we don't live in a perfect world.

 

It's a clean install right?

Why should he give him the password? The guy is clearly in the wrong, from both a moral/social standpoint, and a legal one. He shouldn't get free service just because he has some belief against the OP.

This is why you should do a "backup" of the drive before doing any work on it... and if they refuse to pay, restore the backup to it. Basically undoing any work. They aren't entitled to receive the service they haven't paid for, after all.

 

I seriously don't give a hoot what your sexuality is, as long as you do a good job.

Would I let you, or would I not? Not sure how to answer the poll.. I would let you work on my computer, and if you felt the need to f*ck it, as long as you sanitize it afterwards, and cut me a deal, we'll call it even.

 

But in all seriousness, please work on my computer. I'll pay you double, and air fare in response to that asshole. I'll also pay for a billboard to go up across from his house. With your pretty little face on it.

I thought being Demi/asexual was the opposite of being gay...

 

 

LOGIC

 

 

 

Really sucks tho, I've gotten plenty of similar remarks (albeit less offensive) for being asexual...

You should have just shut down windows and stopped installing. Then give me the broken laptop.

the question is "would you let me work on your computer just because im demisexual"
