Desi people are not good pet and computer keepers.

Mirch · Jul 2nd, 2009, 11:19 AM

So I went to fix an acquaintance's computer , he is such a nice shareef high school teacher. When I went there I found that their anti virus program had expired one year ago. That is why the computer was infested with billions of virus and was almost dead so I had to restore it . Then I found out that their wireless card will not work because driver needed to be loaded for that wireless card , so I opened the computer to get the name and model of that wireless card . When I was bending over the computer to take that card out I got startled by something jumping over my back . I instinctively shaked my back to get that thing off of my back and I found out that it was their pet cat . I got scratched by that damn cat in that process.
This guy told me that this is one curious cat and she does that if someone bends over something, she wants to see too what is going on. I was so mad . If you know this cat is like this why do not you keep it locked when you want someone to fix something of yours. Why do you not cut those damn claws of that damn cat ?

He is a shareef , mild mannered guy but not a good cat keeper I guess. I hope that damn cat did not have any bacteria or virus under her claws.

Why would desi like to have a pet but would not take good care of it ? Why do desi buy a computer worth hundreds and thousands of dollars but would not pay 30 dollars a year for that virus program. I get called by one or two friends or acquaintances every week who face that virus , malware , spyware infestation into their computer.

I feel your pain Mirch bhai....

If i had a pound for every call i got from my friends saying their computer is slowing down/not responding... i go there to find they haven't updated their anti virus software... or better still.... no anti-virus installed!

I don't understand why people think PC's are wonder machines... they need a little TLC too just like humans... next time i think i should let them experience the BSOD... pir mazaa ae ga

stoppit · Jul 2nd, 2009, 12:26 PM

maroush, i have no anti virus software nor any viruses or malware

the solution is not being an idiot and installing every damn thing you come across. the amount of times i have had to tell people 'DO NOT CLICK THOSE DODGY SOUNDING MESSENGER LINKS'

maroush · Jul 2nd, 2009, 12:32 PM

We can tell you have no anti virus software, Stoppit... one of the most malicious kinds put there has already taken over your avatar!

njgal · Jul 2nd, 2009, 12:36 PM

I had a cat - and I was the best desi cat mom ever!

I have a computer - and I my hubby is the best desi computer dad ever!

well if u tempt the animal with your crack by bending over a computer, any self-respecting cat will scratch your itch.

rule number 1 of dealing with cats - big or small - never turn your back to them, they will attack. this is why tiger-hunters in mangrove forests wear masks at the back of their heads. maybe you should get one while you are out hunting viruses.

and you cant cut claws on a cat duh! cats aren't dogs. their claws are retractable and are connected to blood vessels and nerves. declawing them is like chopping the tips of your fingers off.

njgal · Jul 2nd, 2009, 12:58 PM

^ some people do declaw their cat - it's very painful

and totally unnecessary.

I used to just clip her nails every 2-3 weeks and no worries.

Desi love to visit porn sites too, and when they see a spam form a Russian mail order bride they have to click it to see what they are missing.

I have another interesting story on that I will share it in some other thread. When I feel like bashing desies on that topic.

That mask is a wonderful idea. I did not know they have a cat for pet who attack.

yeah , yeah , Einstein kay bhateejay , bhateejee-o , I meant cutting their nails. I am not a cat or dog owner so I did not know what they need to do to keep those animals harmless.

Desion ko toh bus zuban pakarnay ka shouq hota hay. ( This gives me ideas to open another desi bashing thread).

UZ · Jul 2nd, 2009, 04:13 PM

Mirch bhaii desis should know how to deal with pet animals also.

Lucky you....

I think that the desis are "Penny wise and Pound foolish". I had a friend of mine who bought the latest computer by paying good money but was scouting around for pirated "Anti-virus" software. When he did not get one, he did not install one. Such an idiot...

Monk · Jul 3rd, 2009, 09:34 AM

How could you even say that Mirch??

I had more dogs then friends(human) in my life.
I had more animal then ppl in my life.

I treat animals far better then ppl.

PlayStation: No smart A$$ comments plzz.

Tell me about it. Desies look for pirated version of even Islamic software. Some try to justify saying that intellectual property is community property.

.
That gives me an idea for another thread.
