So my son's girlfriends Dad comes to pick her up...
... and proceeds to poke about what I do for a living etc.
"Oh gee yeah you seem to do pretty good for yourself. Say, my wife wanted me to ask you if you can help her get one of those stay at home mom tinker on your computer jobs" God that absolutely infuriates me sometimes. God knows I guess, if "I" can do something, than any dumpy housewife who has no job skills can do it too! Kind of insulting. I just tell them to merely look up how to start a home based business on google and go from there like I basically did. Then I get "Can you just show her exactly what you do? She learns fast" ![]() ![]() I get that way too often. Then they are insulted that you don't have time to show them everything you know. So I'm a big asshole now I guess. He didn't seem too thrilled with me. |

Don't let it bug you too much. It happens to people with "normal" jobs too, not just stay at home jobs.

I fucking hate that shit with a passion. I even hate reading about it on here, cause I know exactly what you're going through and what those idiots are thinking.
I recently had a friend of a friend, whom I told that I ran adult sites, pretty much ask me how he can get started. He said he wanted to "make more money". I told him McDonalds managers make $35k/yr and to get the fuck out of my face and grab an application.

I would have suggested you bite the bullet and tell him what you do, but on second thought he would have never wanted to leave, and he would probably felt funny about his daughter seeing your son.

My neighbor comes over last week, after we had dinner with them. She doesn't do any work herself, she is recently moved here from England and can't work yet. Anyways, she comes over and asks if I can help her setup a non profit website. Im like, oh boy can't wait for that...
I just avoid those people, or even better start saying some very technical stuff. They lose interest very quick. |

My family and friends think I'm lazy sitting at home and doing nothing. Then they ask me how to get into the computer business. Yeah right! Did business takes skills and determination. It seems if were not out from 8-5 every weekday then something is wrong.

I'm going to start telling these people that I jerk off on my webcam for ifriends in the gay section, then ask them if they want to join in with me. They should lose intrest after that.

![]() I tell everyone who comes at me with the line of BS "hey show me how to do what you do" that I offer a 4-day tutorial for a flat fee of $500. That's four 3-hour visits, they learn the basics of planning and building a website, developing it into a business, familiarization with FTP, finding a host, some basic paint shop/photoshop skills, and tips on how to start promoting their new online picasso. To date not ONE person has coughed up the cash, and frankly I'm not a bit surprised. Once they find out that they will actually have to do some work for the gold cup they crawl back under their respective rocks every time. For the record, to learn what most of us took years to learn via an adult learning center would cost them in the range of $5k to $20k, because there IS no one single magical course out there... it would take at least half a dozen courses to learn how to do what we do, and those courses ain't cheap. $500 is a bargain. It is also a good way to gauge just how stupid and lazy people are. :D

We have a neighbor who has been nagging us to show them how to make money on the internet for a year and a half. It's probably the most annoying thing I've ever had to endure (Since I really hate her). "We have a computer, we can do it too right?". Right, sure, yup, you can do it too. Don't ask us to show you the way. She thinks I shoot television commercials and documentaries. HEH.

people are ignorant of what we do. some people think im a bum who doesn't work, some think im a porn star or make tons of cash. i come from a very small town and my mom is a highschool teacher in the next town over and every year there is always one student who asks if her son (me) is a porn star or runs porn sites. i feel bad that it still happens 7 years after i started doing it and i don't even live there anymore.
i tried showing a couple friends how to do it, my thinking was i could really use someone to partner with if they can get the hang of it but in the end they were clueless without my help and never thought it would be so much work. sometimes its fun to throw a whole bunch of shit at them and watch their eyes glaze over. i don't even have to get technical. all i do is start mentioning all the languages you need to be familuar with, cgi, php, html, etc.

I had a similiar experience very recently. It really burned me.
Some friends were home from out of state for a family thing. One of them took me aside and said something very close to "You know, I need you to teach my husband what you do. He doesn't want to work anymore." I was dumbfounded.

Haha Peaches.. I did throw in a bunch of search engine jibber jabber after I told him how simple it really is to start by learning to make your own web page from google. That's always proven to help I remember that technique from when I first started. And he did start to get either annoyed or disinterested. I couldn't tell cuz I really don't know the guy.
However, I had to quickly guess and judge if he knew what I did for a living. I don't think he knows but you never know. I acted like I did a little of this and that... threw in some cell phone babble from when I made money from that. Anything I could grasp that didn't include the words big sausage pizza or Playboy. I actually flat out told my boy yesterday. We have never talked about it but he knows the entire internet is all kinda related and that I know of and have been around adult industry people. He knows they're no different than me trying to keep a roof over his head. He was like "Oh cool ok". Plus he sees my gfy tank in the laundry room or whatever. Can't totally lie. But yes her parents are already like 15 yrs older than me easily so I was sure to do all our bonding and such by phone in the beginning so they don't think I'm a freak. They would definately think I'm a freak if they really knew. |

we feel your pain, i'm sure we've all got a few experiences like that.
my favorite is just because people know I run a website, that they think i'm an expert computer expert, from spyware removal to hardware problems. wtf?

![]() The site actually went up and was good... I actually talked to him about how to use his #1 competitor on the east coast as his ally, not his competition. They would trade dog training jobs so the travel was cheaper etc. I was always kinda resentful cuz they were very unappreciative and still undermined what I did. The ole mother in law was one of "those" if you know what I mean. Just a real bitch and hated my guts. So the funny part.. He got a dog training job somewhere cuz of his website, connections, etc etc, went to the job and never came back! ![]() |
