34-year-old systems engineer “Ray Digerati” enjoys fixing computers. And having sex. So he combined the two.
How long have you been a tech-support manwhore?
A few months. This really attractive friend was having trouble connecting to the Internet, and the idea popped into my head: “Wow, it would be nice if I could get sex for this.” I placed an ad on Craigslist that read, “WILL FIX COMPUTERS FOR SEXUAL FAVORS.” The response has been overwhelming.
This scam actually works?
Yeah. Most of the calls I get are for spyware removal and viruses. One girl didn’t even wait for me to finish the virus scan– she just grabbed me and gave me a b.j.
Sony released the PlayStation 2 in September 2000, and to no one’s surprise it was on far more Christmas lists than were available in stores.
My favorite rumor as to why the PS2 wasn’t in stores that Christmas was this–Saddam Hussein had bought 50,000 units from Sony to power his nuclear missiles. If you know anything about the failure rate on the PS2, that would have been a monumentally stupid to do–his missiles wouldn’t have worked at all.
But I digress.
I manage a video game store. I have for five years now.
One afternoon in mid-December that year a woman walked up to me in store pushing a baby stroller. “Do you work here?” she asked. I suppose the necktie and the name badge weren’t clues enough.
I told her I did.
“I need a PlayStation 2,” she said. “It’s the only thing my husband wants for Christmas.”
I shook my head sadly. I didn’t have any to sell her.
She leaned in close. “I’ll do anything to get one.” She then proceded to graphically describe what “anything” meant.
She wasn’t the first woman to offer me sexual favors that Christmas for a PlayStation 2. Nor was she the last. But she’s the one that fixed herself in memory because she was married, because of the baby in the stroller.
I didn’t take any of the women up on their offers. I’m certain that somewhere in the employee handbook there’s a paragraph or two covering the situation.
And if I’d had a PlayStation 2 on hand at that moment, I’d have sold it to her anyway.
Sexual favors for a Playstation 2?
Well, at least we know you didn’t getting into writing Star Trek for the babes…
