Speaking of funny stuff while working in peoples homes...I installed residential security for a while in Colorado and had a lady accitently leave her BOB on bathroom counter. Needless to say she was very embarrassed.
I have a plumbing business and just thurs. In did a service call where the young girl also forgot she had left her BOB in the bathroom. Also there was a pipe and a baggy on the shelf above her tub.
Another thing I don't think I will ever get over is just how filthy people will live.
And most of the time its not in the bad neighborhoods. Its in the nicer ones.
I did a really nice house in Memorial last year. House was worth close to $700,000. He said he and his wife would both be at work (both attorneys) but he would leave the back door to the garage open. I go there and enter the garage. Yard is immacculate, really nice pool & spa in the back. Mercedes and 911 convertible in the garage. Both looked brand new.
I go inside the house and immediatly thought I entered some blast zone. Picture a huge crane picking up the entire house and then swinging it around for 8 days then setting it back down. Cabinet doors falling off. Busted tile everywhere. All the windows has thick opaque curtains so no light gets in at all. In the living room there were 3 motorcycles completly torn apart down to the last nut/gasket/valve. Old dried up oil on the rugs. 100's of magazines everywhere. As if they get every magazine made delivered to their house. Stacks upon stacks.
I seriously started looking for spy cameras thinking I was going to be on some prank reality tv show. The upstairs was pretty much the same.
I called the guy as I was leaving so he knew I was locking the door.
"How did everything look?" he says.
I sat there for a second. "Are you serious?"
He said "No problems? Everything go ok?"
He didn't budge, so I left it at that.
I guess they don't like entertaining and figured out a way to keep people from coming over.
