A great example of why you should only hire licensed and bonded electricians and plumbers, and never rely on the city's inspection to be sure they did things right and safely.
Being cheap and going with the lowest estimate often ends up more expensive and exponentially more frustrating.

Hopefully the plumber got it in writing that the apartment owner refused to pay for shutting the water off. Unless he was working for a flat fee and is a complete fool.

This is why you only hire licensed and bonded plumbers. Sure they can sue him...but for what? A shop vac?
$150 to turn off the water? It's simple, use a wrench to turn the valve...why pay?

It's like watching a man with explosive diarrhea refusing to lift the lid of the toilet he's sitting on.
It makes me actually angry enough to put on purple pants. The plumber's guild should hire an assassin to take him out for sullying their reputation.

Because he's a plumber, and you don't know he's an idiot until shit goes south.

Why does nobody stop the idiot plumber before he fucks everybody's shit up?
This is retarded beyond belief...

Upvoting if only for the reasons that this is my home town and my uncle was a foreman plumber on the refit of that sub. =^)

What happens when plumbers become germphobic.

Best commercial ever...

Sexy plumbers...oh noes...

Yeah, that ad doesn't work for me. Now I just want to meet that plumber.

This is just a slight variation of his regular message, which does pertain to the kids of today. Mike Rowe has pushed mightily for kids to re-think the idea of 'You must go to college' because what he said is true, there are a HUGE number of skilled trade openings that no one is filling.

These trades pay a large amount of money; for instance, we recently had to pay for a skilled plumber to fix my wife's shower and with slightly less than 1 hour of labor, our bill (sans parts) was 147 dollars. They usually work on the apprentice system, so after 4-5 years you are considered a Master level if you do all the requirements. The problem is, these jobs require actual work and aren't 'sexy'. However, if you compare them to the nature of college and the white collar job market these days, you end up making a ton of money without crippling college debt. You also have a dedicated job market, something you can't guarantee with many non-science/engineering/math degrees.

It might have been better had he said, "Be aware of other options, sometimes following your dreams isn't the easiest path." For me, I got lucky and followed my dreams into a good job before I had to take disability and retire early. I was fortunate enough to have good employee-option tech stocks as well or I might be very poor today. If I had to do it again, in today's world, I might have eschewed college and went for a skilled trade.

Second bird isn't a good plumber, he only remembered payday is every other Tuesday.

Yeah I fucking knew immediately he was some bullshit joe the plumber set up.
