What a guy

We had to have an electrician come to the house today to do a few simple things and when I say a few I literally mean two.

My husband found a company on the internet that was supposedly from our area and they were certified electricians and could handle what we needed done.

GREAT!

WRONG!

So when they got here the man had a problem with either wearing booties or taking his shoes off - in our home which has brand new hardwood flooring. 

His argument was he just bought his shoes and that they are brand new...

OKAY? So you buy new shoes everyday? And where were you before you came to our house? Did you walk through dog shit? Where you in a dirty restroom using their toilet? Did you walk in someone else spit on the ground and didn't know it? Are you going to clean my floor? Are you going to get down on your knees and scrub my brand new floor? Are you? Yes or no? Because it's as simple as a question as that.

He also refused to wear booties because it was a legal liability. It was workmen's comp. People have fallen and cracked their head open and bled everywhere. And that they were too much of a pain to put them on and take them off.

Instead of him coming in here and saying it nicely he looked at my husband and said, "Here's how it's going to go."

Right then I would've said you're not going to tell ME how it's going to go in MY HOUSE! We are paying for your business. We are YOUR customer. So if you don't want to make our money and refuse to do what we ask then don't let the door hit you where the good lord split you!

So me - with my Italian temper - was jacked at how he was talking to my husband. But since he didn't give me the time of day since HEY I GUESS I'M JUST A WOMAN he's too good to look at me since he's above me and all that other superior bullshit - I didn't get the chance to tell him where to go.

He wanted to charge $2700 for two things that we needed and he wanted the cash now. When we already paid $159 just for him to come out and look.

They didn't mind wearing masks but then when I came down into the basement they had no masks on? 

I wanted to call the place and rip them a new @$$hole not caring if he was a boss or the owner or whatever - whoever he was. There is no need for someone to talk to anyone like that! But my husband insisted I not because they were asking many personal questions and they were not to be trusted. And refused to give me the company's name.
 
I just don't want someone else being treated that way or getting ripped off.

Be aware who you let into your house - certified or not - and if you get a feeling - go with it. Send them away.

Stay safe out there && as always I appreciate ya!
