I had a friend ask me to help re-wire his sprinkler timer in the laundry room of an apartment complex he owns. I walk in and see wires dangling down the wall with wire nuts on them. He told me they were live! Are you freaking kidding me? Kids with moms washing their clothes, little johnny grabs the wire and ZAPPO! I traced the unneeded wire and disconnected it and removed the wire. I wired his sprinkler controller and the front yard has 6 broken sprinklers, leaky valves, and 3 of the 4 solenoids failed. I was like WTF!
He they asked me to tear his coin laundry dryer apart and install a computer controlled credit card reader. He shows me 24 pages of instructions to install this. This cheap shithead makes millions, but he wants me to do slave work in 103 degrees, in a non air conditioned room? Nope. I asked him to take me home and hire a professional.
