Warranty service call at a nearly new auto dealership. "None of our lot lights or signage came on last night" (About 150-1000 watt metal halides, filthy cuss words omitted).
OK, 60 miles each way.
Get there to a very unwelcoming atmosphere. ("You guys did a #@*%!^ job")
Find Christmas lights everywhere...including within an inch or so of the lighting control's photocell.
Sorry, buddy, not a warranty issue.
2-1/2 hrs drivetime...$175.00
1/2 hr worktime...$35.00
The look on the Service Manager's face...Priceless ...S

ho %#@ ho.....

I sure hope these guys changed their tune (and their attitude toward you) after that one!

Think they'll remember where NOT to put the fairy lights next year?

LOL!!!

Can hear the "Dohhhh!!!" from the Manager right now!

Scott s.e.t.

Don't you love the way people ASSume the problem is because WE screwed up. Just today I went to a house we had done a bunch of work. The circuit breaker would trip when you flipped a light switch in the hall. The customer noticed that the fan we installed was on when it would trip. I get there and make sure the fan was off, flip the switch and it trips, I take offthe fixture that was connected to the switch(we did not install either), there was a dead short between the hot and ground. That'll be $85 please.
