People that Won't Pay a Penny

    I noticed that there are a few cultures/people in our world that won't pay a penny for provided service but will try to get it for free or will ask you questions like "can you teach me how to do this"? and so on and forth. Did you have this experience?

    Some of the people that fall under this category in my opinion are Indians, Pakistanians.

    This threads intend isn't for discriminatory purpose.

    Yes, I have same experience with US people too, its quite irritating as I have learned spending enough money to earn something to do business not for charity :)

    I think the problem is when someone asks you how to do something but have not made any effort to research it on their own.
    They seem to think that you can explain everything in just a few sentences, when it's actually something that takes a long time to learn.

    I think it's because a lot of people are naturally lazy and it's a lot easier to ask 'how do I do xxxxx' than it is to find out for yourself.
    Big problem could be when somebody who is fed up with this type of behaviour gives them totally wrong information.

    I do not find that this type of person is limited to any one type of person. There are bottomfeeders among every race, age group, and nationality.

    Most of those people u are talking about, as soon as they start making some money and becoming successful they will drop the freebie attitude and start paying and buying their stuff, it's kinda hard to spend 20 dollars when you don't have the 20 dollars, 5 years ago when i was kinda broke, i wouldn't even think about buying a software online and would always try to get it for free somehow, however now, i am pissed off when the ORDER page of a website is not obvious, in other words: you can't spend money that you don't have.
