Default Please move a recepticle

The owner of the ice cream shop calls me to move a recepticle. He says the plumbers ran a pipe across it and he barely is able to plug in the refridge.

So I move the refridge.........................

you have a sawzall right, easy fix. Plumber will probably have to come back though, due to a slight leak.

I always appreciate the artistry of willful idiots. Provides inspiration for me while I take part in my hobbies. Hunting, for example.

Care to borrow my .308?

If I was the owner I'd send your bill to the plumber, that's just plain stupidity and they left it like that too.

I'd send the bill to the owner, since he's the one who requested I move the recep. Let HIM deal with the plumber.

Sending the bill directly to the plumber is a great way not to get paid.

Another plumber who thinks it's better using short pieces of PEX and a compression coupling..

What is it with these guys..

Yeah they are dumb, like electricians that use NM in place of RMC.

"Owner" to me meant the owner of the EC.

Of course, you'll never admit there's more than one way to interpret it.
