I once had a plumber here, who arrived with a “Morning!” in already not the greatest mood.
He was supposed to do two routine jobs: Swap a faucet and re-connect a drain pipe on another basin.
Well, he couldn’t unscrew the faucet. First, he couldn’t reach the screw, so had to disassemble the drain pipe of that basin. Then the screw was going around in circles. So, he had saw the whole faucet off.
Having installed the new faucet and reassembled the drain pipe, he thought that was the end of this odyssey and he’d just quickly re-attach the drain pipe on the other basin.
…nope. That drain pipe did not reach to where it was supposed to go and it was so old and badly installed that he couldn’t extend it either. So, he had to replace the whole drain pipe, from inside the wall to both the main basin drain and the side drain.
A lot of swearing occurred that day. But hey, at least he was visibly happy when he could finally leave. 🙃
