Am I wrong?

My friend had a computer that was all fucked up, so he asked me to fix it. So I am working on it and it says the drive is corrupt so I pull it out and find that one of the IDE pins was bent. In the course of trying to bend it back it snapped off. So I take the circuit board off the thing and attach a jumper wire to get it to work. Basically jury-rigged it so I could recover the music and images off it for him. Then I put in a new drive and re-installed windows on it. It worked ok.

Well, I just got home and found that my dog fucking pissed on the open case, soaking the hard drives. The computer was off at the time. so I took the drives apart and dried them off and shit, then put them back together. Then after much prayer, I turn the computer on, it seemed like everything was ok, seconds later, sparks fly and smoke shoots out of the new drive. While his old drive wobbles as if the platters are off center.

I call and tell him about the failure of the drives and the sparking/smoking. But I omit the part where my dog pissed on it. I find this to be completely acceptable because he isnt paying me, I am doing it for free, and if I didnt have the extra drive he would have been shit out of luck anyway. And he was aware that there may have been no hope for it. He only paid $75 for it.

Anywho, my girlfriend starts saying shit about telling him the dog pissed on it and I was all "Fuck that shit." Now she is crying (literally) because "We shouldnt lie! Its wrong!" When I have witnessed her lying about shit herself. I asked "Why the fuck are you crying?" and she keeps saying its our fault. I dont see how this affects her in any way.

I dont see anything wrong with my actions, and I plan on trying to fix it still, I just have to locate one of my other spare drives.

So I ask you SE, am I in the wrong? Is my girlfriend right? Is there a way to clean out dog piss from electronics?

    Man, she is overreacting to something that doesn't even involve her.

    And you did sort of break it and admit to it already (once)

    You could always tell your friend exactly what happened and let him decided what to do. I think that's the right thing.

    Just reimburse him the cost of the new drive. And unless the disc is totally fucked there should still be a way to get the info from it. Though that could be rather expensive and not worth it.

    Edit: yeah just tell him the dog pissed on it. It's not like you could help that.

    She was all balling and shit and yelling at me that what "we" are doing is wrong. And that she doesnt want to lie.

    So I told her just to not say anything at all. But that was like kryptonite or some shit, cuz she acted like keeping her mouth shut was harder than lying about it.

    All I could do was yell back, "This doesn't even have anything to do with you!"

    And my friend is just happy I worked on it for free and thanks me for still trying to work on it.

    Also, he isnt that small, he is a very large Jack Russel, bigger than any JR i've ever seen. 18 - 22 inches tall i'd say, and the tower was on the floor.

    He didnt buy the drive, its one of mine. He bought a piece of shit broken computer knowing it was a piece of shit, and asked me to work on it for free.

    I also dont see how this is underhanded at all, it was a broken computer when he got it, it wasn't any of his music, it wasnt any of his pictures. I was just trying to recover it in case he wanted to keep any of it.

    You don't owe him anything, but there's no reason not to tell him what really happened. I can't imagine he'd be that pissed off.

    I'm not sure why he'd get upset over anything even telling him the dog pissed on it. So if there's nothing for you to lose by telling him the truth, why not do it? And a little gay.

    Lying to your friend because you're afraid of telling him the truth is not the tough guy stance. It's the pussy guy pretending to be a tough guy stance.

    Im not trying to be a tough guy. I just dont see why, if theres nothing wrong in telling him that the dog pissed on it, there is something wrong in not telling him.

    Either way, it all ends up in the same place.

    I'm not afraid of telling him the truth, I just dont want to go into all the details.

    What pisses me off the most is that my dog has never done anything like this before. The computer was sitting directly next to my computer, which also rarely ever has the side on it.

    It's an "ends justify the means" vs "is lying immoral?" arguement. As long as we don't throw karma in there, you can do anything you want and be fine.
