No good deed goes gawddamn unpunished, I tell ya. Hanging out at my job site, sitting out on the front lawn this morning enjoying my cup of hot coffee making sure things run smoothly before I run off home. Woman from a few houses down the street jogs by, about 40, asked me if my plumber is available to help her with a leak at her laundry sink. I thought sure, went and got him. He said, service call is 125.00. She agreed. He walks up there and comes back drives off to the plumbing supply to pick up a new faucet. Upon return, he send one of his men to install this thing. Everything went well. Finished in 35-40 min. I had gone home by then.

I go back this afternoon, He's fuming, swearing away, wanting to burn her house down. I found out he charged her 270.00. Which I thought its more then fair. She got service immediately and the faucet cost about 100 bucks. Home owner comes out and chated with me a bit and was a little disappointed at my plumber.

The crazy btich (CB) neighbor had asked the plumber's workman how much he gets pay to do the job. He claims 36 bucks per hour. She's now ferocious due to the low pay the person doing the work has received. She comes raving about what happened to the home owner I am working for and tries to convince her to fire me too for slave labor (too late, I have the front half her house torn apart). She claims the workman only got 18 bucks and the boss charged 270 demanding he pay them more. Now, here's the best part. She posted this on the neighborhood app. and pulled the my clients and mentioned me into this awful mess. The worst thing is, she took a pic of the sign off my plumber's truck as well as a pic of him hanging out watching his men bust out concrete. None of us knew this until my clients showed me the app. CB tried to tell the entire neighborhood boycott this plumber because of the low pay to his workmen. Within minutes, many others not knowing what actually happened are giving each other high fives over the net for her courageous work exposing the slave drivers calling him a predatory capitalist. I had to sit my client down and show her the numbers and what it takes to run a business. She shook her head. What a fook mess. I thought I help out a neighbor and get Rick a bit more work. I now feel like siht dragging him into the mud pit. Fawk.
