I once worked for a computer and cell phone repair shop, and there were a few times where the boss would text me at like 10 or 11pm, well outside of work hours, asking me to download a Windows 10 ISO or something for him.

While I'm thinking to myself...

"Bitch, I'm off the clock, and I don't even run Windows anymore, I run Linux now. Besides, isn't it part of your job to provide access to necessary operating systems and software?"

That was the gist of my private thoughts on that matter. I was more polite than that though, and just reminded him I don't have a Microsoft account, and ain't about to create one to download something I don't even use, nor want, nor even care to waste my drive space on.

Needless to say, I no longer work for that company. Dude was also selling used iPhone batteries as if they were new, so I definitely don't regret quitting that job.
