I once had a lawyer complain about my $150 bill for coming out at 10pm and finding and correcting a short in a light fixture that was knocking down half the lighting in his house. He couldn't wait until the next morning, and I told him up front what the minimum charge would be, which was $150.
This same idiot charges people $350 an hour, even if the phone call he just billed at 1 hour only took him 5 minutes.
I don't like the idea of getting hosed by a tradesman (or lawyer) any more than the next guy, but I've gotta agree with Trumpy on this one - expecting someone to be on call 24/7 and run out to your house like a paramedic when a problem arises, then griping about the price, is a very selfish and narrow view of the world and the value of other peoples time.
I'm sure that guy would much rather be at home or out having a life than running around for your benefit only.
