So who is the idiot? The blood sucking leech that was getting free repairs (because he refused to even try to do something simple) or the mom that was willing to pay and the BIL that wasted an hour of his life? I would have encouraged mom to let B have cold water until his stress levels came down.
That said, we should try to be careful to not judge people because they can't do something we can. Some people just don't have the mental skill to do repair. They may be brilliant with numbers or sales but mechanical things just look like Greek to them. We shouldn't be so critical of people because WE can do something they can't. I am sure that the tables can be turned in other areas.

My BIL B wouldn't know which end of the hammer to use, can't play golf worth shat, wouldn't know how to set a campfire, or put together a two man tent BUT...his impersonations are second to none! His favourites are Rodney Dangerfield, Ronald Reagan, Johnny Carson and he can impersonate ALL Monty Python characters and he has all their skits locked in memory...he can recite them all word for word!...that's just his thing!
