Plumbers broke through this foundation to add pipes, compromising the structural support of the home.

It’s hard for me to believe a sane coherent person did this.

u/Truckyou666 5d ago

How many plumbers do you hang around with?

91

u/Double_Bass6957 5d ago

I feel like this is a trick question. But I personally know about 20 and hang out with about 3-4 of them

u/Truckyou666 5d ago edited 5d ago

Out of the 20, how many are sane and competent?

165

u/Double_Bass6957 5d ago

That’s not a fair question, we’re in the US military 😂

u/Truckyou666 5d ago

So when they leave the military, they magically become sane and competent? Not plumbers!

Lmao no…never said that. I have dealt with a handful of plumbers as a home owner and they weren’t terrible

Well, thanks for your service. I enjoyed my time in the bees working with the Air Force guys and Marines.

As a tradesman myself if you say over 50% I’ll know you’re lying

Throw sober in there, and that really throws a monkey wrench in everything!

Its oxymoron, right

I've never really thought about this, but sane and competent don't go together with plumbers. I know some that are good but they are weird people.

My dad's best friend is a plumber and I've worked with him and his crew a lot during summer holidays and such, all great people, sometimes the occasional brick. I think this here is a special case of "fuck it he will never notice and I'm off to the dispensary/bar/pipe/needle quicker.
