I think it’s hemorrhoids

In my brain it was just “piles of shit”, but I guess hemorrhoids is worse.

And by piles or hemorrhoids he means the epymonymous body part isn’t working right. They inflate (with blood) as a cushion during a bowel movement and then are supposed to deflate and retract shortly afterwards. If they fail to do either or bleed (usually profusely) that might be hemorrhoids, the condition.
I have a lot of not-uncommon butt troubles, and no one bothered to explain any of this to me. So here we are.
But then my experience with tech people and medical people alike (at least the ones I know) they’re use to friends and family coming to them with questions particular to their field, and are willing to help.
Myself included, and would suggest that yes, if the computer is portable, bring it, and we’ll sort it out.
But then I’m in California and a lot of non-californian Americans think we’re weird.
Also I’m a pinko communist and am motivated to help others just to spite imperialist capitalism.

As an ‘IT guy’ having someone ask me to fix their laptop is like asking a farmer (who drives a combine harvester) to sort out my veggie patch.
Sure we can do it, we possess the skills and knowledge, but it’s different to what we actually do.

I would also say it depends on the relationship and if there was a discussion ahead of time.
