2024 LC Thread: Name That Tune

Is there room to come in from inside the cabinet/drawer space and reach up to rearrange the utinsils to get it unstuck?

Don’t feel bad, it’s not just you, he’s probably smarter than almost everyone in your building.

22 down for anyone else, or is the airport censoring me?

Looks like it’s the airport, I can get in alright.

I got fucked by crowdstrike coming and going.

Waited at the KC airport for 8 hours and 5 delays to finally give up and go home. 3 more delays later they finally acknowledged the flight was canceled, something the woman working the counter was basically telling us 3 hours earlier.

I could have gotten on another flight if I’d have known they were going to pull this shit. Now the next flight I can get on is Wednesday. I could call and yell and they’d put me on another airline tomorrow apparently. But fuck it. Not really in the mood to go through this all over again tomorrow.

Take the kids to Jacksonville

I once hired a guy to fix my fridge only to find out the fix was popping off small cover and tightening a screw three turns. :rofl: cost me $180.

Reminds me of an old joke. An old but critical piece of machinery in a factory stops working. After making many phone calls the foreman finally finds someone who can repair it. The man comes in, looks at it for about 30 minutes, takes out a hammer, taps it twice, and it starts working. He delivers an invoice to the foreman for $10,000. The outraged foreman says “you were here less than an hour and all you did was tap it with a hammer. I need a detailed invoice justifying this bill.” The man returns with an invoice that reads:

Tap with hammer: $2
Knowing where to tap: $9998

Yeah, but if you’re like me you saved $1,000 because if you had tried to fix it yourself you would have broken something more important.

Feel like you are paying for their knowledge. Plus from an earnings standpoint I am sure some fixes for them are very low income for a fix. You just got stuck on easy street fix.

In my mind I want the guy to say “no charge easy fix” but that is a bad way to run a business.

This is what being a computer programmer and fixing something you built is like.

I drive an old car, I have a mechanic I use pretty regularly, and I bring my car to him for literally everything, even stuff I can do myself, mostly to maintain the relationship with him because he is often backed up with 2-3 weeks worth of work. There’s been a couple of issues where I was in a pinch and he snuck me in, totally worth paying him a little extra for an oil change or whatever.

100% me. I am a total moron with anything handyman like.

Of course they have to charge me. I don’t think I suggested otherwise.

This shit is so infuriating. Hopefully it drives turnout in GA.

I am getting political fundraising texts literally every five minutes. This is intolerable. I’ve had my phone number forever, cannot imagine changing it over this. Is there any other possible solution?

Happens all the time in the ER. You’d be shocked the things people come in for.
