    We serviced a retirement condominiums complex! It was sad to see how most of their sons and daughters had warehoused them there almost never visiting them! They were starving for someone to talk too! Only me and the boss we're allowed by the manager to service the units because the residents would only allow us to service their units! We had compassion and patience dealing with them! Many times part of the job was to listen to them and eat some cookies and drink a glass of milk! I very much liked all of them! It was sad when I would do annual service and find out one of them had died and have to listen to the spouse tell how much they missed their loved one! One time I had a lady there tell me her thermostat wasn't accurate and the round one she had before worked better! I knew nothing was wrong with the current square one but I changed it out to make her happy! If you have a passion for your job like Steve does many times it's about more than just only money !

    I’m glad you gave up trying to explain what a vent does. I don’t think she had a clue. All she knew is they were draining slow. How much ya wanna bet she calls ya again. I wonder if you could put a vent in and run it out the side of the house? She seemed like a sweet old lady 👵 who doesn’t get much company. She’s lucky to have a person like you around. Too many people take advantage of old people. At least they know they have someone they can trust. Keep up the good work Steve

    She'll never grasp what pipe venting is. Most customers won't either. All she needed is to be told -->> Fill only ONE side at a time, then it will drain fine. Always leave ONE side's drain open. Obviously if she continues to fill BOTH sides together, they'll both drain slow.

    • @dwight.bennett
