(64,827 posts)70. One Time, Somebody Started In On Me Like That
I told them I am a scientist and I don't take advice from furnace repair people.
I actually got mad at my wife for calling them in for a nonemergency. Paid $145 to replace a leaking relief valve, which is what I already thought it was.
Then the guy starts in on how we shouldn't need masks & blah, blah...
After I said as above, I said "You work for me. Do your job, shut up & get out.". He didn't even bring me the bill. His assistant did.
He doesn't like me now? Who cares. Lots of HVAC workers around in a county of 700,000.
