Doing after hours service this weekend. 10:00 pm, homeowner calls and says his condenser fan is not running and compressor is squealing. Tell him I can come out but after hours call is 180.00. He asks his boyfriend (I'm in California, lots of fruits and nuts here), I can hear boyfriend tell him to have me come out. I tell him that if what he says is wrong is really wrong then the price could be as much as
858.00 (180.00 service call, 129.00 run cap, 549.00 condensor fan motor). He freaks out and hangs up the damn phone. I could really give a f*ck because I'm sitting here nice and cool while he's over there taking it in the ass. What the f*ck do you expect, oh sure, I'll be right there, that'll be 99.95 please! Fucking whiny ass f***ot, I hope he catches aids.
sounds very familiar , years ago, when i was in business for myself . i get a call about 10pm one night , its snowing to beat hell , and this old man has no heat
i layer up and go out and brave the slick roads to get there , and when i do its an old man in a wheelchair, no legs , military discharge certificate on the wall pictures of his buddies , looked like WW2 . an old "Warm Morning " space heater , Bad gas valve felt sorry for the old boy , had a fairly new but used 720 bobby shaw valve in the truck , threw it on, got it working , charged him 20 for the valve and 60 for the call , regular daytime rate f***in jerk gets irate with me, says "goddamit son,. you gonna make all your money on one call?" bout lost it with him , but told him to keep it all, it was free and not to call me again ,
and then again just recently , had an ho tell me that i should be able to eat beer cans and shit out the parts he needed "since I charge so Much " after i told him he needed a control board that i could get at 3 in the morning told him to shove it up his ass and walked , told supervisor about it next morning , he just laughed and called the guy , told him he was thinking about pressing charges for harassing me ,
Finally , my best one yet , Boiler ,hot water recirc , had several valves to replace , and it was sooted pretty heavily was gonna have to take it down for several hours to clean it and replace the shut off valves on a few rads , f***ot ho ,kept coming up to me in a g string ,wanted to give me a BJ told him if he came near me again , i was gonna pick up my tools and walk . he approached me again , i picked up my tools and walked went back to the shop , told my supervisor about it , he called every ohter company in town told them it was evil and to stay away called the company attorney and discussed sexual harassment charges i declined , but now i wish i had gone ahead and prosecuted the c*ck sucker anyway , i got my revenge , as it was the middle of january in central illinois the weather turned sharply colder that night , like 10 below had occasion to drive by that house a few days later on an unrelated call and the place looked like an ice castle , the plumbing had burst and water had come running out all over the exterior and had frozen since they had no heat , hehehehehehehe, never heard another word about it .
