Just plain rude

There are people out there owning business that should just leave the paperwork and public relations to someone else. That would save them the hassle of doing the work and would also save us, the people who call them and need them to do the work, to get bombed with their BS or  with their aptitude for offensive swearing. I swear as much as the next person (fine, maybe just a bit less), but dropping the  F word several times in a phone call with your employer (with the person that literally writes your payment check) just seems like a stupid move.

That being said, a plumber 915 miles away (1472 Kms) managed to leave everyone at the office feeling uneasy. What is really surprising is that it could all be avoided (the headache, him losing his contract, us having to find someone else to do the work) if he had been honest and upfront about things. Instead he tried to lie and make up excuses for everything that went wrong, even if his fault was as clear as a nice summer day.


That being said, let me make some calls to try and find some more people that down the road may or may not prove to be assholes …
