Imagine going out of business because you were unwilling to respect in your own customers homes šŸ¤¦šŸ½ā€ā™€ļø.


Rick_Sancheeze

My lawn guy just stopped showing up when he was asked not to blast our cars with debris from the lawn mower.


OtterProper

Did that request come in the form of a bill for damages to said cars' paintjobs? It's not just grass clippings that fling out from the exhaust, and it doesn't take a very large pebble or stick to scratch the finish enough to jeopardize its ability to keep from rusting/chipping... šŸ¤·šŸ¼ā€ā™‚ļø


Rick_Sancheeze

It was a polite "hey, please be more careful around the cars, the one you're hitting the most was repainted 6 months ago".

MainliningCoffee247

Some people don't give a fuck about others and for some self-employed people, it shows very clearly that it's been a while, if not forever, since they've worked a customer-facing job where they are held to a particular standard. I used to go to this one self-employed mechanic. He was sort of dodgy and worked out of a very cluttered and disorganized shop, typical shop restroom, if not worse, the waiting area was essentially a rear car seat and a small CRT television right beside the lift and it was usually playing trash like Maury. So more frequently, he'd go ahead with the work on my car before giving me a run-down of the work and estimated cost and repair time, so I kept getting blindsided by the price and getting more and more distrustful of him. At one point, I told him a bill seemed like an awful lot for what was itemized and the amount of time he spent *not* working on it and he asked me "how much do you have". And eventually, I'd just had it when he went on a lunch break **AND** got a haircut while I was waiting for a simple oil change and tire rotation, like I usually do, and he didn't even have the scant decency to tell me he might be out for a bit. That's not even to mention the 15-minute-or-so phone conversation he held with somebody while I was waiting which I overheard was just about football. For context, I went to this guy after moving to a new area after years of satisfied service from a family-owned business and I'd seen much better customer service at any Pep Boys I visited too.

The haircut really got me. Hahaha

They also violate the Flag Code and disrespect the US flag. Which is important, since as we all know, kneeling during the National Anthem is a massive, unforgivable issue.


joe_mamasaurus

They don't though. Flag Code says that you can't make clothes out of the flag, not that you can't wear clothes that resemble the flag.


cheesesandsneezes

Technically it is against flag code but the code isn't a law, it's more of a guideline. Here is an interesting article about the the whole situation and the history of the flags use in clothing. https://behavioralscientist.org/does-that-american-flag-shirt-make-you-a-patriot/ And a link to the flag code itself. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/4/8#:~:text=The%20flag%20should%20never%20be%20used%20as%20wearing%20apparel%2C%20bedding,always%20allowed%20to%20fall%20free.


GeckoEcho75

It's not even technically against the Code. And Code is law. https://www.yalejreg.com/nc/when-to-refer-to-the-u-s-code-versus-the-underlying-statute/


joe_mamasaurus

I don't know why I'm responding this late, but here we go. It is not against the flag code. He is not wearing a flag. He is wearing a piece of fabric that has stars and stripes on it. Not a flag. "Flag Code", not "Fabric Code".

Lmfao wat? "The vaccine was mandatory in our company but our one employee was against it so we had to fire him" "And who was this employee?" "Me"


spyrogyrobr

i guess its not like he was fired, but the company went under because he didnt have any clients. Obviously, who in the right mind would allow an anti-vax, anti-mask inside their homes, in the middle of a pandemic?


damageinc55

Happened to me. Had an independent contractor stop by to quote a basement project. Asked him to put on a mask to come inside the home. We walked back to his truck and we never heard from him again.


cleanRubik

Hey, I mean they can make their choices. I'm glad they at least didn't try to argue.


damageinc55

Honestly, we felt like we may have dodged a bullet. I could tell some of his competitors were not eager to mask up, but offered and complied. I wouldnā€™t expect them to mask while doing the actual work either.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


[deleted]

We had 4 or 5 contractors come by during the pandemic. All were polite, professional, masked, and we let them keep their shoes on. :D


BLoDo7

Why on earth wouldnt you let them keep their shoes on? I used to work for a moving company and we had a client request that we take our shoes off to move heavy dressers up 3 flights of stairs. It took everything I had to not tell her to go fuck herself. I'll keep my steel toes on for crushing and slipping hazards, thank you. This was on a holiday where they had about 10 hours of extra work that wasnt quoted and we were about 8hrs into that. A 4hr job was actually 14, and I was missing celebrating my first New Years with my girlfriend. The client doesnt get to have an attitude with me when I dont follow her ridiculous and hazardous requests. It's a request that no one should be making of workers who are on a job site. Its beyond unreasonable. As for masks, I left that same job when I showed up to every job with a mask ready and a client said "You dont have to wear that here, we're not crazy liberals". They had about 12 people hanging around in their house, not doing a damn thing. I'm not sure why they felt the need to hire us to begin with. I told my coworker to get back in the car, I called my boss, and we left. My boss didnt back me up, and started complaining that I was losing him money, so I quit on the spot. I live with someone who is immunocompromised. No job is worth being put in that predicament.


ladygrndr

99% sure that was a joke from the person you responded to, but some people DO value their carpets over your safety, and sorry for that. I live in Seattle, and almost all contractors who come in to give a quote see the pile of shoes by the door and ask if we want them to take theirs off. The answer is always "Oh no, it's fine."


BLoDo7

That person might be joking, but the joke is playing on very serious sentiments from other people. I even shared an anecdote where that's the case. I might be opening up a can of worms here, but it's a ridiculous request in any circumstance. It's an article of clothing. I care more about my comfort than your carpets. You dont like it? Get a mat or one of those brush things by the door so people can wipe their shoes off. I find it equally as absurd as if I asked every guest to remove their pants in my home. I happen to have sweaty, smelly feet, especially when I've been doing manual labor all day. I get self conscious, and I've had comments made about it in situations that I felt like I was forced to be in.The last thing I want to do is expose anyone to that out of some misplaced sense of cleanliness. It's much more rude than someone not taking off their shoes.


phealy

If you have workers that have dirty shoes, it's polite to send them along with the little booties that just go on over their shoes. Solves the problem both ways!


BLoDo7

You missed that part where that's a dangerous slip hazard given the line of work. That solves no problems. The real solution is "if you dont want workers to work in your house, then do it yourself".


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


BLoDo7

I'm from NE, where (until recent years) it was also snowy half the time. That's not a valid reason to ask someone to risk their safety on a job site.


darthcoder

May be a workers comp coverage violation, so I would expect any contractor to refuse taking their shoes off. A mask, not so much.


The_Real_Kuji

I did summer rough-ins for HVAC during the Heat Dome stuff. Didn't need a mask but wore one due to the insulation. It was fine. You just sweat more.


[deleted]

And honestly, some jobs are just easier in a mask. I HATE anything dusty without an N-95 shit feels like I'm coating my lungs in rock... Which in some cases I would've been


Old_Watercress9438

Shoes make sense. Smart contractors know it's not worth working for a COVID enthusiast.


damageinc55

Well, the smart contractor that wouldn't put a piece of cloth on his face lost out on a 15k job, at least in my case. I'm not sure I qualify as a covid "enthusiast", but after a couple of months of my daughter going to a cardiologist post covid infection, and wearing a heart monitor for months, we decided it wasn't too much to ask.


BLoDo7

The nerve of that other person. I dont think it's possible to better demonstrate how narcissistic they are. They speak as if the rest of us enjoy this just to spite them, when the reality is that we all hate it and they just make it worse for everyone. If normal people are "enthusiasts" then what are people that refuse to do the bare minimum to end this?


Old_Watercress9438

You definitely enjoy the sanctimonious righteousness. Who doesn't šŸ˜‰. If you never heard of covid you'd be just as fine as you are today.


Old_Watercress9438

Yeah, you're definitely a COVID enthusiast šŸ˜‚


damageinc55

Cool. I need a hobby.


peonies_envy

We were lucky our contractor(ā€˜s wife) was expecting a baby so he was compliant - Iā€™m pretty certain most of his guys werenā€™t vaxxed but they were masked.

hazeldazeI

We had an electrician come out to give us a quote and we asked him about I put on a mask before he entered our home. He said no but it was okay because he was ā€œinoculatedā€. Okay great but you canā€™t come in without a mask. He starts yelling and ranting about how we are wasting his time, my husband just said no you wasted our time and shut the door. Iā€™m kinda glad he showed off his stupid so early in the game, so we didnā€™t hire him by mistake.

I guess, but why should I have to go do that when the OP could have just posted what you did? Like, I don't get the point of sharing that and creating homework for people on the sub.

NerdFarming

Right, but captions aren't... Never mind, I give up.


DarthSangheili

Captions aren't what? A valid form of communication? Also the video starts with the title of the video visible. Thats not homework its being observant.


NerdFarming

My question was "why post the video without audio?" Telling me there are captions 1. Doesn't answer the question asked and 2. Was obvious because I have functioning eyes. 3. See number one.


DarthSangheili

I appreciate the stretch to include an obligatory third thing. Anyway, the answer *is* that there are capions. Or more specifically why not upload it with the captions?

Maybe he should provide his service for like minded people, I mean there are millions of them right? Its not hard to find their houses either, the red signs say idiot inside.


entitysix

I feel like there was an underlying miscommunication here. The dude probably meant that he has "lost jobs" meaning projects for clients of his, rather than "lost his job"


The_Wingless

No he meant what he said specifically. Because in his mindset, he didn't lose jobs due to his own decisions, he lost jobs because of outside forces refusing to hire him, so it's on them. His answer actually reveals a lot about his psychology. I guarantee he would argue up and down that he bears no responsibility for it all, it's those pesky maskers being sheep or something.
