Do you have a skill and people are constantly asking you to help them?

Jesus fucking Christ it sucks. For me at first it was computers. I used to be proficient with them and every relative and friend under the sun called for help with the things. Now it's electrical work. I have a friend who just bought 4 houses and he needs significant electrical work done to some of them. I DON'T want to do it. But, I want to be a nice guy. God dammit.

I don't see the big deal as long as you quote him a price and you find a deal you two can agree upon. Don't do it for free, but do it if he's willing to pay you.

I make myself out to be stupid for this very reason...
-------------------- I'm done trying to be "right." I want the exchange of ideas to be the currency of my economy. If you have something I can use, great. I'll try it out. If you think my methods are shit, great. Don't use it. We all want yields.

I would rather engage in gay sex than do electrical work. It sucks so badly. I chose the wrong thing to go to school for.

im pretty good at several trades such as tile and other flooring, molding, some carpentry, painting, stucco and other wall coverings, rough plumbing, drywall, finish drywall, texture, building forms, pouring concrete and a few others. im always having friends and family ask me to help them. its a pain in the ass, but they can never bitch when i ask them for a favor, AND most of the time i am paid pretty well for the favor.
i dont mind so much.

Yes, but not really "skills" so much as experience. My friends constantly want me to help them grow pot, or mushrooms, etc. Or just come with them when they get some so they don't get ripped off. I'm too much of an elitist asshole when it comes to that shit to let my friends pay for crap.

Bagpiping!
The double edged sword of being a piper; When you play for yourself you also play for everyone in a gajillion mile radius. Most people in my town know who I am because I pipe all around, Sometimes kilted.
So since I have my bagpipes almost all the time, everyone I run into practically wants me to play. I've met many people who either A: Don't know what it is B: Only seen one on T.V or C: Will give me money for Amazing Grace. When I don't want to play I usually light up a cigarette. It also garners an amusing look.
Bagpipes are super-mega-ultra, for sure.

Ever since i got my drivers license,, 
I'm apparently also on call as a garden hand and a computer tech guy.
Things go in circles though, one way or another i end up getting back as much as i put in.
