OT: 73rd Obsequious Banter Thread: The Thread With No Name

Correct. Also won't speak to women. Parents' neighbor, though. I'm just dealing with it while they're away.

Jojo is home alone. Watch out for Harry and Marv.

I have called 17 ****ing plumbers and can't even get a call back. I'm in the wrong industry if business is that good.

 

[YEM]

I have a friend from high school who is a plumber
Makes very good money, makes his own schedule [see above], is on pace to retire before me, has zero debt [I'll be paying my grad school loans till I die], & belongs to a country club. Sounds amazing until you realize he wallows around in other people's poop all day.

So do we. It's just verbal instead of physical. Probably harder to wash off too.

I know the feels. Not a plumber but I’ve called probably 15 people to hang a fifty pound mirror with no call backs.

I can do this for you. We'll just swap problems. Enjoy digging up the driveway. Thanks in advance.

No problem. Here to help.

Here's a good reminder it can always be worse. Broken outdoor underground pipe and can't even get a plumber to come out.

That’s shitty

Hang you’re own mirror... Measuring tape, level, two +50lb mounting hardware (of you’re choice, or 4 if you want each corner held), drill, anchors.

I don't know about anyone else but it's a money back guarantee that if I try hanging a mirror like that it will conclude with shards of glass

 

[Lord Defect]

Owning a plumbing business can be very lucrative, but you have a ton of money moving around in inventory, advertisement, employees paychecks, business insurance, health care(hepatitis can be very common), and incoming checks.
Working for someone as a plumber, you work a ton of hours for meh pay. More than likely you’re working for a “small” place that pays low for 40 hours and under the table for the OT and provorov laughs if you ask about benefits or healthcare.
If you’re union or trying to be, I hope you know someone to get you in, can play the political game well, and enjoy being layed off.

Practice with two 25 pound mirrors first then.

Yeesh, sorry man

When I was a kid our house flooded. Washing machine hose broke, was flailing around like a cartoon spraying water. The basement stairs was a waterfall. ~3 feet of water in the basement ane the air duct vents collapses so there were just holes blowing air causing waves. About a foot of water on the ground floor. Called the fire dept and we lived out of a local motel for about a month while the place dried out with all these industrial fans everywhere with all the carpet ripped up and stuff. Crazy

It’s also in three pieces and needs to be hung at a height that I don’t have a ladder high enough for.

I have a 50' extendable ship ladder. What could go wrong?

Also, why the hell would you need a mirror so high you can't reach it?

Build one. Stop making excuses!

It’s on the ceiling

Ceiling.

I would stop asking questions there, jojo

You could still get to a normal ceiling with an 8' ladder though! Maybe it's a church. Or a barn.

Well, I guess it could be 12' ceilings, but that's no fun. I'm sticking with barn. It's a barn mirror.

At least we know what mr and mrs Hollywood are into now...

Edit: I love that we all had the same perverted thoughts.

I think you're making it worse.

Or better.

How many HF Flyers posters would it take to hang HC's mirror?

Depends on how many tripods we have to move out of the way first, I think.

And does the swing need to be relocated while were up there?
