Jan. 11th, 2011 01:23 pmHad a new dishwasher delivered today. They would have taken the old one if I'd had it disconnected, but I was still working on it because the electrical box was still registering live even after I'd shut off power.
Me: "I've disconnected everything but the electricity. I'm having some problems with the electrical box."
Them: "Oh, you shouldn't try to do this yourself. There's complicated parts, like you have to disconnect the water."
Me: "Yeah, I did that, it's just this electrical box."
Them: "And you see, that's two parts, you have to disconnect the hot water and the drainage."
Me: "Yeah, I know, I did that."
Them: "There's a copper pipe and a hose, you have to do both."
Me: "I know, I did that part already. It's just the elec-"
Them: "And you might break it. So you should have someone else do it."
Me: "..."

Somehow when they come into your house and start going all "Little Lady" on you it's worse anyway, even if you hadn't obviously been competent. Don't you feel sorry for that ape's wife/girlfriend? Unless he's gay and just REALLY doesn't get women.
