Sometimes, a lack of time or skills makes us call professionals for repairs \u2014 and that\u2019s when funny or awkward stories can happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A friend once had a clogged drain. The plumber pulled out a huge clump of black hair. Blushing, she watched as he asked, \u201cLong-haired dogs need so much care. What\u2019s the dog\u2019s name?\u201d The \u201cdog\u201d was actually her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Two electricians argued near someone\u2019s house:
\u2014 \u201cBill, why do you keep pulling the cable?\u201d
\u2014 \u201cI\u2019m not. This box was wrong from the start.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A worker fixing a ceiling asked to leave his tools overnight \u2014 turns out his coworkers ditched him to go out. Another person ordered a countertop, but the workers made the wrong cutouts and refused to fix it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A plumber once left a surprise \u2014 a woman found a man\u2019s facial hair stuck in her heel after he\u2019d been there fixing a leak! Another plumber arrived while a woman forgot to lock the bathroom door; her husband announced, \u201cHere\u2019s the cause of the clog!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some workers bring drama, too. An electrician\u2019s wife sat through the whole job to \u201csupervise\u201d him. Another handyman didn\u2019t recognize a client after she did her makeup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And sometimes repairs are endless: one electrician kept forgetting tools and bulbs for days. But not all are bad \u2014 one old electrician, inspired by the homeowner\u2019s art, received a blank canvas and paints to rekindle his dream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the end, you can try fixing things yourself \u2014 but it doesn\u2019t always go smoothly either.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
