Pet peeves that should be pet peeves

[ExtraSlow]

the only "big name" shop that seems to have even a halfway decent rep is Pete. Not saying he's great, but a good baseline.

Sigh... With that said, anyone know a decent plumber who won't do shit like this?
I need to have a kitchen pulldown faucet installed at my parent's condo. Hell, I'll even pay a handy trades person on here as I would have more trust than Mr. Mike's.

If you own a set of channel locks… just do it. Typically it’s one nut holding it to the counter, and then you have braided lines with water shutoffs right underneath… 3 things to loosen and retighten

The repeated conversations with anti-vaxxers as follows:

AV: "dbl vaxxed ppl R still catching Covid!! Teh vaccine dusn't wurk!

Me: "Yes you dumb POS, this is well known, the vaccine doesn't make you invincible to catching covid, it reduces your severity"

AV: *stares blankly*

AV: "That's wat dey want U to think"

Mr. Mike's Plumbing. Absolutely terrible...

When will you defend your shitty 80's salad bar, steak restaurant and underwater plumbing businesses?!?

I also at just go with Pete. Maybe not the cheapest out there, but they don’t rip you off either and do good work.

No no no, don't turn it around lol. I called Pete the Plumber and they are so far very decent to deal with. Going with them for now, but appointment is pretty far out. Oh well.

The unit has a shut-off, just not at the sink.

I'm not holding anyone to a phone quote at all. But the fact some are not willing to even provide a range on a standard kitchen faucet install is asinine. I wanted to slap the bitch who answered the phone at Mr. Mike's.

It's the same as the Hostess at the restaurant who can't fathom a guess at how long the wait to get a table might be.
Really? Just no idea, at all?! It would be impossible for you to even attempt a guess?
If she's worked there for more than 6 hours, she should be able to guess +/- 30 min and if she has worked there >1 week, she should be able to narrow that down to +/-10 min, but no... No idea.

Yeah man. Talk to me like a human, let's have a conversation. Not some recycled garbage script you've been told to say.
Honestly, a front desk (good or bad) can make or break a business.

People who pronounce "concierge" as "con-see-AIR" or "con-see-AY" as if they are trying to sound sophisticated.

Deerfoot south to Glenmore east as well. It's fine if there's no one in front of you, but the amount of people who wait there expecting a personalized invitation to enter traffic is unreal.

Thankfully not a direction I often have to go.
