I did maintenance for years and I would get so many calls about the dumbest stuff.

Dryer not working because they did not know you had to remove lint from the lint cage. Sink clogged because they did not use the garbage disposal. They think there's something wrong with your electricity because they're lightbulb is not working. They did not know they need to change it. Tripped breaker's. Dead battery on the thermostat. Just simple stuff like that. It's really sad.

I can't imagine this but I know it happens because my Sister is now that type of person as far as I'm aware.

We grew up watching our Dad fix E V E R Y T H I N G so we learned so very basic things, but we ended up taking different paths because she moved into places where maintanence was provided and I grew up without that. We both ended up basically poor, so I had to learn to either make due if I didn't know how to fix something or to jerry-rig up a solution.

Old Partner:"The sink stinks" Me: "That's because you won't get me a grabby claw thingy and some (Drain-O)"

Still, even when I can't fix something I can't just lie down and accept it, I need to at least TRY.

Me a minute later because I can't help but give every detail: "I tried getting as much out as I could with a pair of tweezers and i got a gross bit out but I could only do so much"
