i can't stand construction worker people. they piss me off. they can't do shit right and they are always late. i have never had someone come fix anything who didn't get here about an hour late.

i was having hot water heater problems, so two weeks ago this obese man comes and lays in my shower and rolls around attempting to "fix" it. then he tells me that it's against the law for him to fix it because of something to do with children. you can't run straight hot water out of a shower now, it has to be mixed with cold, so kids wont' boil themselves or something. ok, i don't have any f*cking kids in the first place, so i don't appreciate not being able to take a real hot shower because of a law made for kids that i don't have...

he didn't fix it. so later i fixed it myself by just turning the water heater up past the recommended temp, which i should have just done in the first place. everything was good.

then just now this random dude rings my doorbell and tells me that he just fixed my hot water. i was like uhh it was already fixed by me. he tells me he went in my garage and "cranked my hot water heater all the way up". what the hell? why did some random person go into my garage and f*ck with my water heater without even telling me? then the dude is like ok well it'll be hot now and turned around and left. so i guess now it actually is a hazard since he "cranked it up" after i'd already fixed it anyway. now i gotta go and take take the f*cking covers off the water heater and "crank it back down".

aside from this, last week i had to have my garage door replaced. why? not because it's broken, because it had to match every other condo or else some warranty was void. so some bumbling idiots come to do that. they replace it, tell me it's fixed and leave. when i go out there like an hour later to move my car back into my garage, the door will only open about a foot off the ground. so i guess these guys weren't smart enough to try it to see if it even worked. so then this other idiot across the street is like "is it not working?". wtf? if it will only go a foot off the ground does it look like it's working?

aside from this, i'm getting my bedroom window replaced as i type this. why? not because it's broken. because some little piece that doesn't matter is crooked and has to be fixed according to the warranty. this was supposed to start at 10 and take about an hour and half. they got here an hour late and it has been 3 hours now.


oh, and aside from that, my dryer makes my clothes smell burnt which i'm sure is going to turn into another ordeal to fix. it's already been an ordeal to try to get someone to look at it. i've been trying to get service on it for about 3 weeks now. now they are telling me that i have to go online and log into some warranty site which requires a log in and password. supposedly i got this when we closed on the place, but i know they're lying.


yeah that's all. i just don't think i've ever had anyone come fix anything of mine that was even close to being competent.
