In this week's installment of Confess Your Sins,
2
we ask Computer Shop Repairmen if they have any.
3
And apparently they do.
4
Top class intro that one is, isn't it?
5
And, and, here's the tie-in.
6
Let's read them.
7
I had a casual job over Christmas at a local repair store.
8
A sketchy, mid-40s looking guy comes in with his laptop telling us it wouldn't turn on.
9
You know it's related, don't you?
10
While repairing the laptop and testing it,
11
one of my co-workers found it had a substantial amount of Chris Paul.
12
We all know what you're talking about.
13
Cyberpunk the game.
14
On his desktop, as well as some other dodgy stuff,
15
we contacted the police and they took it from there.
16
A couple of weeks later,
17
his wife comes in and apologises to us in person.
18
Brutal.
19
Yes, it is.
20
I just don't understand how you'd be so dumb to walk in.
21
Uh, yeah, mate, this computer with a bunch of illicit,
22
illegal material that you, by law,
23
have to contact the police immediately on seeing is broken.
24
Uh, can you not do that in future?
25
Thanks, mate.
26
It's not even to catch a predator, is it?
27
It's just, you know, where's the sport?
28
Before I was born, my dad used to be a mobile computer repairman on an island in Sydney
29
that is basically one big hippie commune.
30
I don't even know where this place is, man.
31
I'm sure it's just a mere $8 million a house.
32
One day, one of his clients couldn't pay for his services,
33
so she offered him a free energy healing session.
34
Oh no, I thought this was gonna be a dick sock day.
35
Long story short, when I was born, I was not vaccinated.
36
Yeah, you had good energy,
37
so shut the f*** up.
38
Stop spreading bad energy, c***.
39
My brother and I ran an incredible grift on the good people of the small town we worked in.
40
We each operated our own competing computer repair shops in the same shitty arcade.
41
What kind of f***ing rube town do you live in where they don't figure that out?
42
Look at it at the stores.
43
Oh yeah, mate, it's the biggest rivalry ever, mate.
44
Phil Lerman's computer shop and Dave Lerman's computer shop.
45
F***ing, they just open up the same spot and f***ing hate each other, c***.
46
If one of us got someone who felt like that they try and haggle,
47
we'd massively overquote them so they'd go to the other shop and get a much lower but still overpriced quote.
48
Yeah, f***ing, I'm on your side, f***ing.
49
This is a f***ing India.
50
If one of us got a real Karen, we'd abuse them.
51
So they threatened to go elsewhere and storm right off into the arms of the other shop.
52
We shared the funds and made absolute bank.
53
The old twin brother trick.
54
Except for you weren't even fucking twins.
55
Worked as a tech at a computer store that did warranty repairs for a range of manufacturers.
56
One day, a guy with a thick Scandinavian.
57
It's already awesome.
58
Mein Computerhosen.
59
Mein Computerhosen.
60
Slaps an Acer laptop down on the counter and explains,
61
I have disk- Do the- Yeah,
62
yeah, yeah, I gotta do the accent.
63
I have to do the accent.
64
I have a disk stuck in my ass- Yeah,
65
c-
66
It's so good, especially because it's just like sort of this cultural stereotype
67
that they do have things stuck in their ass up.
68
So yeah, had to hold in love.
69
I don't know how you did it.
70
Especially because like don't you think that's the time where it's like even harder to not laugh?
71
Is there something comical about this situation?
72
Who is it?
73
But ended up being able to remove the CD for him.
74
From that day forth, we all changed our pronunciation to ASSA.
75
Good, good.
76
Had to be done.
77
As it more accurately reflected the quality of their- It does!
78
They f***ing suck!
79
Even I know that.
80
They're f***ing that brand.
81
Even made a BIOS launch screen spelled ASSA.
82
Gonna pretend that I know what a BIOS screen is.
83
I'm sure it's very amusing.
84
And installed it for a few lucky punters who had their machines in for repairs.
85
I still wonder if they noticed.
86
Yeah, top story.
87
That was a f***ing pearl of that one.
88
Americans, did you know that I'm doing a tour across the United States?
89
Well, I am.
90
I'm also touring in Sydney, Aubrey and Newcastle.
91
So get your tickets for those.
92
It was one of my first few weeks working at the computer repair section of my store
93
when some guy walks in demanding we fix his slow computer to de-escalate the situation.
94
My manager decided to try and help him.
95
When she went to look at the computer,
96
she realized there were live maggots crawling out of it.
97
Fuck me.
98
Okay, so it was just Satan.
99
Satan was the customer.
100
She started gagging and told the guy he had to leave.
101
After some arguing, he storms off,
102
leaving even more maggots that were hiding on his body.
103
All right, that's the most disturbing thing I've ever heard of my- That's just hellish.
104
That's- What the fuck is going on?
105
What, so he's rotting?
106
It's- How are they living on him?
107
Numerous stories, but the one that stands out in particular is when a basement dweller neckbeard,
108
not unlike what was described in your Warhammer vids,
109
showed up and requested us to fix their working laptop.
110
What was the issue?
111
Apparently it suddenly died one day,
112
it refused to turn on.
113
Grabbing it, I took it onto my workbench and only realized a sticky residue.
114
Mind you, I grabbed it with my bare hands.
115
Odd, but could be juice of some sort.
116
I'm gonna assume that's juice.
117
Netbeard's are a very healthy demographic.
118
It's gonna stick my tongue out on that.
119
Yeah, no, it's salty.
120
Okay, he could have put some supplements in it.
121
So it made me think perhaps it was water damage of some sort.
122
You just wanted to f***ing touch his f***.
123
Opening the back of the laptop,
124
I found crusty remains of what appeared to be a sticky gelatinous white...
125
See, look at him, still.
126
Okay, white, so it's obviously a licey juice and it's still salty.
127
It spares further analysis.
128
And just come taste this, mate.
129
That was unlike any form of juice I'd ever seen.
130
But yeah, it's still definitely juice.
131
And that's where the stench hit my nose and realized what that juice really was.
132
I heaved and emptied the remainder of my lunch that day.
133
Looking back, I should have realized that the dude with the 50 plus hentai stickers on the back of his laptop.
134
50 plus, what a gooner.
135
I reckon that guy rubs it when it's like flaccid.
136
Probably be the sort of person to do that sort of stuff.
137
Yes, well he got there, didn't he?
138
Whatever the case is, I still wash my hands regularly to this day
139
and every single time I deal with anything customer facing,
140
I always wear gloves every single time.
141
All right, the laptop suffered liquid damage and was irreparable.
142
That's, well, yeah, I mean, technically, true.
143
All right, no one's lying.
144
Honestly, probably a good thing is the police would have had to ask me less questions later if necessary.
145
Oh yeah, he's into that goblin thick hentai, is he?
146
My strangest duty as a computer tech is being a surrogate
147
father to a senior citizen who spends all day watching pimple popping videos.
148
Oh, that's, I'd rather touch the and frequenting forums dedicated to pimple popping.
149
I kind of get it though.
150
It's that when you see the mango worms coming out of the holes in the dog.
151
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
152
Oh, no, that's f***ing, that's f***ing, yeah, yeah.
153
Keep it going.
154
Oh, I got them all.
155
Yeah, nice.
156
He picks up so many viruses and malware doing this.
157
Really?
158
We've had to install a parental account on his phone,
159
so now whenever he wants to install an app,
160
he needs to come in and have us authorise it.
161
Really?
162
That's repeat business.
163
Nice.
164
Still manages to fill his phone with malware, but we're not angry.
165
Just disappointed.
166
Why is malware attached to that?
167
That's actually...
168
Can someone let me know in the comments?
169
I've got no f***ing idea why you attach it to that.
170
Worked at a returns department that didn't really do repairs per se,
171
but we pretended we did.
172
Come on down to Mitchell's wizards in training, computer wizards.
173
We will.
174
Have a look at your computer and your guess is as bad as ours actually, really?
175
Like, yeah, yeah, you got a better chance going to a vet.
176
One time a lady bought in a MacBook that was apparently running slowly.
177
It was one of the older models with a mechanical drive,
178
but we thought we'd try cleaning up her deleted files,
179
etc. Maybe increase performance.
180
Oh, no, I'm not one of you sh**.
181
F**k, I hate getting you online.
182
Sometimes a computer, even when you've deleted it all,
183
is a good thing to just press record.
184
It's the only thing I know how to do!
185
My colleague began digging through her drive.
186
She left us a password to log in,
187
and he found a folder called cucumber.
188
Found a folder called?
189
Cucumbers.
190
Cucumbers?
191
Read it.
192
That's all it's, dude, it's blocked off.
193
What does it say?
194
Cumber.
195
Oh, okay, yeah, sorry.
196
Cumber.
197
No, that isn't a typo.
198
And it contained videos of her rattling her clam with a super r- All right,
199
that's how we're referring to her from now on, boys.
200
Anytime the ever catchy missus in the bath,
201
she is rattling her clam.
202
Needless to say, she couldn't quite figure out why me and my colleague couldn't meet her gaze when she...
203
Oh, no!
204
When she came back to pick it up,
205
must have assumed that we were the awkward nerds
206
that we are who haven't seen a real woman in our tech support basement room before,
207
which I'm sure was also true as well,
208
and that was probably the reason that you weren't able to make eye contact.
209
You've never seen a vagina before.
210
Did work experience at my local PC repair store.
211
Guy comes in rather flustered and talking rather fast.
212
He tells us he accidentally clicked on a link from a friend.
213
Everyone's always an accident, aren't they?
214
Accidentally clicked a link from a friend,
215
which led to his computer being filled with porn.
216
Oh, no. What a bad friend, bro.
217
And he needed it removed before he...
218
You know what?
219
Actually, just that little...
220
I think there's...
221
Dude, he could be the only Ned Flanders on Earth.
222
Oh, gosh darn doodly.
223
This is quite the pickly-vidly.
224
I better play with my willy-ly diddly before my wifely doodle comes home and sees me with my noodle.
225
That was all ad-libbed.
226
Fuck you, it's pretty good.
227
He then proceeded to get on the floor and show us the positions.
228
What?
229
So one is doing this,
230
then the girl is doing this to him,
231
and then you go here.
232
Fucking Ned Flanders, I'm telling you now,
233
this guy's never seen porn before.
234
Or seems to understand the concept of sex despite having a wife.
235
That poor woman.
236
There's a guy giving another guy what for?
237
Yeah, it's a friend.
238
It's a f***ing friend.
239
Of course, dude, that's the classic.
240
I'm putting gay porn on.
241
The whole time he's on the floor at different positions.
242
I don't know why he's playing charades, but anyway.
243
Doing doggy one moment, then he's on his back and so forth.
244
My manager, without skipping a beat, says $500, please.
245
I'm laughing my freaking butt off as he gets up and goes,
246
yep, just clean it now.
247
My wife is home soon.
248
It's nice to know that that like a classic Hollywood trope of a guy
249
that works in some kind of electronic shop with a bunch of shit behind him and says shit all the time.
250
Very disinterested at guys like that.
251
38 new books.
252
They're real.
253
They're like a better call Saul except for they're only good for one thing and it's pretty lame and nerdy.
254
But interesting nonetheless.
255
You know what else I think is probably going to be a good yield.
256
MacBook geniuses confess their sins.
257
If you have worked at a Mac shop, let us know.
258
Write your comments below and we will do the classic thing that everyone does to you guys.
259
Man, I didn't sound like a genius.
260
You looking forward to that?
261
I am.
262
See you next time.
263
He means Apple Store.
264
Oh yeah, Apple Store.
265
I thought they showed Apple.

Schritt-für-Schritt Shadowing-Anleitung
Um die Fähigkeiten im Englisch Shadowing zu verbessern, lohnt es sich, die Struktur und den Tonfall der Sprecher in diesem Video genau zu beobachten. Hier ist ein einfacher Leitfaden, um die Technik des Schatten Sprechens anzuwenden:
- Hören Sie aufmerksam zu: Sehen Sie sich das Video in voller Länge an und achten Sie auf die Betonung und den Rhythmus der Sprecher.
- Wählen Sie einen Abschnitt: Wählen Sie nach dem ersten Anhören einen kurzen Abschnitt (ca. 1-2 Minuten), der Sie anspricht. Dies macht das Üben weniger überwältigend.
- Wiederholen Sie nach: Spielen Sie den Abschnitt ab und versuchen Sie, jeden Satz nachzusprechen. Achten Sie auf Aussprache und Intonation. Nutzen Sie die Technik des shadowspeak, indem Sie gleichzeitig mit dem Sprecher sprechen.
- Schriftliche Übung: Schreiben Sie die wichtigsten Sätze auf und üben Sie sie verbal, sodass Sie eine bessere Vorstellung für den Alltagsgebrauch bekommen.
- Feedback einholen: Wenn möglich, üben Sie mit einem Sprachpartner oder nutzen Sie Aufnahmen, um Ihre Aussprache zu überprüfen. Feedback ist entscheidend, um sich zu verbessern.
Indem Sie regelmäßig mit Videos arbeiten, die Englisch lernen mit YouTube kombinieren, wird Ihre Fähigkeit zu kommunizieren und zu verstehen bedeutend gesteigert. Setzen Sie die shadowspeaks-Technik ein, um das Beste aus jeder Übung herauszuholen!
Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?
Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
