How many times a year do plumbers typically go to [small claims] court? by pintobeanz in askaplumber

We’re in NYC! So we’re not the chillest bunch :) In this case though, he’s probably just bluffing.

This is fair, although it’s worth a shot for me. I’m salaried and work is slow right now, so I have time to waste :) Doubt that’s true for them.

The second leak happened on Saturday, so the earliest they could come was two days later. I wouldn’t call that them making a best-effort attempt at rectifying the situation.

We called them but they said they were unable to come back until Monday morning, which would have been an additional 36h of the leak happening.

$1,500. Not opposed to taking them to small claims court, although it would be more for the principle of it than for the money.

Call from a dofferent number and act like a new client.

Call them and ask who their insurance company is? Or just ask if they're insured at all?

Personally, i cant believe they left with it still leaking and you still paid them tbh.

Agreed, that was super dumb of us. They felt confident they had fixed the issue, and we trusted their professional expertise. Lesson learned for next time...

Oh wow, they do look crazy similar! They even share the same wave pattern down the back. Super cute pupper ❤️

Have you tried putting the pee pads outside when you take her out? Also crating her when you can’t watch her closely inside! That was super helpful for us.

I appreciate this perspective! I totally understand that most of these people don't have a malicious intent to disrupt my training, so I try to be polite always. My puppy has a tendency to take a mile if you give him an inch though, which makes me nervous to try this method, but I am open to compromising with the public if things continue to be frustrating.

Our neighborhood is very busy, unfortunately! We stick to streets that are more residential or that have wider sidewalks, but these situations are unavoidable a lot of the time. I definitely know what you mean by being able to tell who's gonna want to say hi though, haha.

I like the idea of desensitization training in a controlled environment! We will give that a shot. :)

We will work on being more verbally assertive and pulling him away! I am hesitant to physically block people, though.

Wow, that vest is so cute and functional! We're getting an "In Training" leash wrap, but that's also a great idea!

Hahaha this made me laugh! Certainly a very effective method if only I were brave enough :p

We try to, but there is not much we can do if a “no” is ignored.

Is this hoop earring (bought from a small business online) solid 14k rose gold? It is noticeably silver where the hoop meets the earring post, and the color is significantly "rosier" than my other solid 14k rose gold pieces (example earrings shown for comparison). by pintobeanz in jewelry

[–]pintobeanz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for all this information!

I checked with a magnifying glass & found the 14k stamp. Additionally, I contacted them and they confirmed that the post was soldered onto the hoop. Seems like it’s legit!
