A giant mud pit, about twenty dollars worth of plastic PVC pipe, and a can of purple glue. Enter the plumber. π§βπ§
For the next few hours, he basically treated my yard like a VIP lounge, spending half the time standing knee-deep in the sludge, aggressively scrolling on his phone. I thought, βHey, maybe heβs looking up a complex engineering blueprint.β π±π€·ββοΈ
Nope. He finally wraps up, hands me a mind-melting bill for $3,400, and now heβs standing there flashing a copy-paste smile asking if Iβd like to leave a 20% tip! πΈπ
Has anyone else ever felt completely robbed by emergency home repairs, or am I literally paying for this guy's premium screen time? π€π Drop your wildest contractor horror stories in the comments!
