I usually get bored looking at a screw for 20 minutes, but there's lots of other screws to look at
Worked with one of those guys that has to think about doing something for 25 mins before they actually do anything.ie:"I think I need to take that screw out lets stare at it for a half hour first"

I like to jump right in and mess it all up, then spend the rest of day trying to figure out what is really wrong.
Hey cockroach, don't bug me! ©
I give up..............I quit........
Gonna go and work at mcdonalds or something............ screw it
So sad. I can't even screw or unscrew for 25 minutes anymore!!
Sometimes you're better off looking at that really long screw for 25 minutes before you put it back where a really short screw went and run it through the condenser

I like to get near the very end before I realize that I lost my hole saw arbor or something...
Worked with one guy who'd hang a length of pipe, step back, light a cigarette, admire that length of pipe until he was finished with the smoke, then repeat the whole process.
Drove me insane.

well you would go nuts with me,when i walk in into an acct,for a no cooling on a r.i.first thing i do is shut it down,get coffee,pull grill,{drink coffee while staring at the winter coat wrapped around the condenser}and thinking about the sound my knees are gonna make when i kneel down too clean that baby,and i do mean clean.then i stand up waiting for that sound from the knees again,and mumbling stupid shit about the customer.

who think some specific things that I direct them to do..... I.E. run that pipe through that space...... are "Impossable". Gets um a last paycheck right away!

It is okay as long as he "becomes ONE with the screw" in the process of staring at it. Unless of course he is just stoned and hallucinating.

I spend 25 minutes trying to remember where I put the screw.

Some of the longest service calls I've been on, were the ones where the guy there before me wasn't there long enough.
