Post Traumatic Debt Syndrome

You’ve paid off all debts. You don’t pay rent or a mortgage. You have no loans or leases. You have no credit card debt. You owe nothing except your normal monthly expenses of electric and gas, phone and internet, life, health and car insurance. And of course, all the goddamn taxes you must pay. It’s the good life!
After living a dream life buried with owing money up the kazoo I now suffer from post traumatic debt syndrome.

Necromerchant's Debt

Necro (pronounced Nekro) is from the greek/latin word for death. Merchant as in a person who sells. Put together, it means a seller of death. The first known use of this is in the Ten Minute Opera 'The Necromerchants Debt" written by Terrence Zdunich, the creator of the cult classic 'Repo! The Genetic Opera'. The Necromerchants Debt was the original inspiration for Repo! and some of it's songs became the basis for Repo! One such case would be with The Necromerchant's Debt song, Anno Domini (meaning year of the lord) turned into 21st century Cure. The character who sings both song is a Necromerchant or more commonly know as The Graverobber played by Terrence Zdunich in both cases.
My grandfather used to go to the graveyards and steal the clothes off the corpses. He was a Necromerchant.

The local Necromerchant tried to sell me a Rolex. The exact one I saw the deceased mafia head wear on the day of his exacution.

The graverobber had a debt to pay to all those he had stolen from. He had a Necromerchant's Debt

Buy The Debt

If you are a "Computer Genius" (aka, you know how to reformat a floppy) and agree to fix or, in any way remedy someone's computer problem, you have now "bought the debt." This means that it will be your eternal responsibility to instantly respond to any irregularity with, or question on, this machine.

This includes, but is in no way limited to the hardware and software on the machine at the time, and any purchased (or, more likely, pirated) in the future...”

If you do not respond within 30-90 minutes your "client" reserves the sole right to call and email you until they get an answer...and/or badmouth you to friends in perpetuity (which they will probably do anyway since you "did not fix it good enough to begin with").

God help you if you do it as a “favor,” because that invokes the “Friend” provision which quadruples all responsibilities but reduces, by a factor of ten, all tangible reward.

You'll know you have bought the debt if someone says one of the following to you:

"It was working fine before you did whatever you did"

"I'll make you dinner and you can fix my computer (and there is no promise of sex after Photoshop is successfully installed)"

"Walk me through it on the phone--it should only take a few minutes"

..oh there are so many more...

Origin of this phrase is in Mafia-speak where one mobster would whack another...but dead mobster owed the Big Boss 200 large. Now his killer must pay the Boss his 200 large...he just bought the debt (is responsible for it until death).
I helped my friend's dad install Quickbooks last April and he is still calling me with printing problems...boy I really bought the debt on that one.
