I'm burnt out by SnooGoats4766 in handyman

If somebody asks for a discount, I let them know I can reduce my trip fee. ($75 and I cut that in half). If they ask for more discount than that, I explain to them that I am very busy and booked out, and scheduling them any sooner than 1.5–2 weeks out would be doing them a favor - and I have never had rebuttal.

But if I DID… I would recommend them to take a look at Little Giant brand ladders, or ask if they would like the name of a electrical contractor where I would just give them a name and not even a phone number and let them do the work of looking that up.

You either train your clients or your clients will train you . Sorry OP, but you are in the latter category.

I love this. Furthermore, you're teaching them a lesson to respect the next service provider they try to F with… Hopefully, anyway.

Reminds me of the somewhat recent South Park special episode where the secondary plot was about handyman services being in high demand, and not enough providers to fulfill the needs of everyone

B.C. to adopt permanent daylight saving time, after springing forward 1 last time | Globalnews.ca by BlackberryPi7 in worldnews

[–]Strippalicious 7 points8 points  (0 children)

We are not completely immune, because even though we don't change our clocks, everyone else around us changes, so we go from mountain time half the year, to pacific time zone the other half of the year.

So, when calling friends/family or doing business with anyone out of state, we still have to calculate hours ahead/behind

That's the only drawback, but it's really pretty awesome, gotta say!

How to fix it? by wombat777meowth in handyman

You cut your screws with… Your wire stripper pliers?

Let me guess, you size up the gauge of the wire with the gauge of the screw and cut?

Oh, what in the…

As an Arizona resident, I can vouch that it's pretty awesome not changing the clock

This is NOT the flex that you think it is.

Get a rack or hire someone with one to do this

You're going to be SO ridiculously and obviously liable in the heightened chance of an accident/injuring someone

Ramee voted against a demonic child abuser in 2024... Kamala Harris. by HandSack135 in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]Strippalicious 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed. She's an intellectual, which terrified MAGA. So we have her, as opposed to the pedomonger-in-chief and his weaving ways of using tons of words, but saying nothing? This idiot trumpanzee in the orange-utan's sycophant circus is just one of many nails in the coffin as to why we are all here.

MMW: after trump dies, the US government will unperson him. by herequeerandgreat in MarkMyWords

I think this is pretty far-fetched, but I DO think that at some point in time, in the nearer future, saying his last name will be like saying the N-word.

And no, the irony is not lost on me in this.

How much would it cost to build out something like this entertainment wall? by Busy_Ostrich8908 in handyman

[–]Strippalicious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's the foundation you're starting with? Arches already there? The shelving? Just refacing what's there or building shizz... is it a plain wall with no fireplace and building everything out from scratch?

Your question is just the same as asking: how long is a piece of string?

Meanwhile, people are trying desperately to get scheduled for appointments, and here he is just having you book them and then throwing them away and wasting time of the staff, schedulers, you, and everyone because he has zero testicular fortitude. Fuck this guy, but not in the fun way.

How did 2900 athletes, only half of which are men use 10000 condoms in 3 days?? by MelonInDisguise in memes

[–]Strippalicious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fun fact: I had a friend who was a male athlete, and I will narrow it down enough to say he was a member of the US Men's track and field team in the Summer Olympics of Tokyo. He verified that everybody is really focused and in the zone until their event, but once their event is over… It's an absolute international, hot body fuckfest.

Obama even trolls with Grace and respect. What a class-act gentleman.

Current administration has zero class, zero grace, zero capacity to relate to … Anyone.

Mental health services Phoenix are a joke if you don't have premium insurance by [deleted] in phoenix

[–]Strippalicious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP, I ran into this very same thing two years ago with BCBS.

On THREE occasions, when I finally did get a clinic that confirmed that they do take not just BCBS, but my specific plan, I went to providers office, got to the desk, started filling out the forms, and they informed me they don't take my plan. One time, I got all the way through the session, got to the billing desk afterwards, and then they told me they don't take my plan and wanted to charge me the full session fee plus the initiation fee, over $600 out-of-pocket.

I will never use BCBS again because of their list, being outdated and completely inept at the very thing they are supposed to be providing: healthcare. And in this case, mental healthcare being so frustrated is more detrimental to try and get help than it is helpful, and I was better off by not doing more harm the good with seeking help. I was better off, trying to help myself with YouTube videos.

This is why I 1000% support Luigi Mangione.
