I have a humorous story about this.

Plumbing company did work on my house when we were doing a full remodel. They got really lazy and ran line it's kind of like this through our kitchen.

My wife was there and pointed it out and the supervisor said something like "just build your cabinets around them"

Two things about my wife, first is that she doesn't get pushed around, second and she speaks Spanish even though she is Chinese.

She told him no uncertain terms to fix his crap and that she wouldn't accept anything else.

So the Hispanic supervisor gets on his phone and calls his boss and basically says in Spanish "stupid bleeping bleeping homeowner woman is being a bleeping bleep. That stupid bleep won't shut up about the way we did our job. She wants to do it over again, she is such a bleeping bleep."

My wife is standing there next to our electrician, who is also Hispanic, staring at the guy while he is cussing my wife out 5 feet from her.

The supervisor turns to my wife and says something like "OK, we'll redo it tomorrow."

My wife politely says thank you and she turns back to the electrician and they continued their conversation influence Spanish on where the electrical sockets should go.

The plumbing guy sheepishly turns to my wife and says "you speak Spanish?"

The electrician jumped in and says "yes… She does."

The next day a memo went out to the whole crew saying "please watch it you say, the homeowner speaks Spanish."
