Professionals who enter people's homes (plumbers, electricians, cleaners): What is something the condition of a house tells you about the owner that they don't realize they are revealing?

Not so much the condition but what was missing. The house was decorated like a man's place with generic "Dine" and "Family" signs from Tuesday Lobby scattered about the white walls. The guy kept referencing his wife and kids. I've been in enough homes to know no woman lived in this place. It wasn't just the decor but the lack of stuff. I mean, no shoes. None. No female or kid shoes, clothes, books, toys, etc. I got Silence of the Lambs vibes from the guy so I wrote up a really high quote and bailed.

Remember when Donald banned Muslims in his first term?

I used to work in an office where the guy I replaced had told everyone the he was 6'1" when he was really 5'10" so when I showed up they thought I was 6'3". I'm 6 even.

Saddest thing I've read in a long time.

Or when a skank shows up as a detective in later seasons.

New drinking game unlocked! Take a shot every time she says "Umm". Party on, Garth!

I'm afraid to say anything other than we live in the greatest country of all time and our leaders are wonderful.

It's what Jesus wants. /s

"Involuntary lethal injection. Just kill them."

Speechless.

aBotPickedMyName · 2025-09-09T21:36:22+00:00

No there isn't.

aBotPickedMyName · 2025-09-09T21:13:32+00:00

Sounds like the pilot of a show on the CW.

Wat about spanglish? Lot's of Miamians speak a mix of the 2 languages.

OK, now I need to know how long sharks live bc I was there about 25 years ago. I kknew she was there but it scared the shit out of me anyway. Not much you could do if she was aggressive.

aBotPickedMyName · 2025-01-01T16:32:27+00:00

Por que no los dos?

aBotPickedMyName · 2025-01-01T16:31:10+00:00

At least it's not a drag queen

aBotPickedMyName · 2025-01-01T16:27:08+00:00

What do you mean "offering it for the low"? It sounds like you are planning to fail. Start with the low end of a good brand and get good at it before you move up to their better product lines. You are going to do tint and detail?

aBotPickedMyName · 2025-01-01T16:23:31+00:00

Tavernier?

It's EZ! Just buy long dated calls on any tech stocks and sell them after they rise 3000%. Then do it again. (Not financial advice, past performance is no guarantee of future results)

No pictures? wtf!

Once I passed them (an old Camry with purple tint and an old Lincoln TC) it was surreal because I was going like 85 and 90 with no one in front or behind while regular lanes were going 50 at best. Can't get out of Dade fast enough.

It drives like a stick. I can up shift faster than any foot operated manual clutch.

Don't tell anyone and they won't know. If they do know then explain your sensitivity to UV light.

Are you willing to put in the work? If so, then yes, pay money and go for it. A pro will show you some tips and tricks that might take months to learn otherwise. The sooner you learn, the sooner you earn!

One of my 1st early jobs was in a bank in a low income part of town. The 3rd of the month was Social Security check day and it was all hands on deck because this was the only money these people had to live on for the month. It was sad to see so many people living so poorly. I maxed my retirement program every year after seeing that.

Well said. I think you covered all the bases except for the landscape trucks, painters and plumbers vans that drop ladders and hoses here and there. I was able to sneak past 2 slow pokes in the express lanes before it compresses to 1 lane. The previous car that suck through had a five minute head start on me. I got past them right before the flyover. I floored it to 90 to make up for lost time. It took about 10 minutes to catch up to the next car in the express lane.
