Perhaps young teenagers are typically okay with earning a bit or forced by their parents to help but it certainly is not the cultural norm that grown ass salaried professionals jump at the chance to earn $50 sorting their neighbors WiFi out. He just thought he’d found another sucker and was annoyed when you turned out to have a backbone, because you are absolutely right this guy would become what is often called in the trades a ‘sinsya’. ‘Sinsya’ fixed my printer my WiFi doesn’t work as well. Did you break it? ‘Sinsya’ fixed my WiFi my washing machine doesn’t do the hot cycle properly. You were messing with the ‘wires’ weren’t you? Etc etc fucking etc. If he called a professional company to help he’d have no issues ‘here’ but he’d also have to pay the going rate. What he means is back home he has a network large enough to exploit and doesn’t have to worry about learning how to do it or pay a professional.
