I started the day off this morning by doing something monumentally stupid, which caused me physical harm
Then I went to my computer club, and there were twice the number of punters that we usually get, and they all wanted help, and I was running about all over the place trying to help them, but they all wanted one-on-one help. And two of them were seriously hard of hearing, and kept glaring at the others because they were being too loud.

I don't cope well with stress.

Poor you.
A computer club?

I run a computers for the terrified club at the local pub
We've just got BBC First Click accreditation, so we've had a load of new people sent to us. Most of them don't even know how to turn the thing on, let alone web surf.

*tears out hair* I don't even get paid for this shit!

Oh cool, that sounds alright, but quite fustrating.
The best advice I give people is to click on everything to see what it does, you can't 'break' the computer (at least, not accidently), absolute worst case is that you lose some stuff, but that's not a big deal if the thing is set up right.

It sounds really cool
it'd be better if you were paid, of course. I've had to deal with my mother, and she's not new to PCs, and I could cut my veins sometimes.
