    Its in there

    Went on a call for a boiler relief valve leaking. Another tech put in the relief valve last week. I guess he thought the relief valve just went bad on its own, because I had to change the expansion tank.
    Anyway, the old man customer made me move all his junk, then put it back.

    I do not move their crap unless they know they are paying me to do it and I accept no liability if something is damaged!!!!

    I would like to ask them " do you leave the stuff under the sink when a plumber comes?"

    I find situations like this disrespectful. I wonder what the old man did for a live. I guess he thinks our time is not important.

    Countless time is wasted waiting or moving stuff that should have been moved when they where waiting on me to ring their door bell.


    And they also need to put their dogs in a room that I don't need to be in.
    Beware of advice given by some guy on the Internet.

    I didn't ask that, but I have asked if there is a crappy litter box in their work place.

    The company I work for has a policy of not touching customer's property in a situation like that. You break it, you bought it.

    Or a priceless family heirloom which really isn't 'priceless' when they tell the boss it will cost $5k to replace that old picture frame that was laying next to the furnace.

    Or "That broken garden rake was my Great Great Grandfathers from Ireland!" Swear to God that happened to me about two years ago. Other than blazing saddles, he was the first black irishman named carter that I have ever met!?

    Except for the occasional "hoarder", where simply moving something would be like spitting in the ocean, most people I've run across will move their own stuff. But why do they always wait until you get there to do it?
