Sofia's WTF moment of the week: The Appliance Repairman

So... our piece of shit super fancy microwave AND oven both decided to stop working within a couple weeks of each other. And after about a week or so of not being able to make my sweet daughter Easy Mac delicious and healthy meals, we gave in and called a appliance repair man to come check it out. We patiently waited for his arrival anywhere from "8:00-12:00", and he unapologetically arrived at 12:35 as if trying to prove to us that we should never underestimate the stereotype that repairdudes will ruin your entire day.

Anywho, he explains to us that he is the best repairman in Las Vegas and won 2 awards for being the best... which made me think about an award ceremony with a bunch of dirty worker-guys in jumpsuits accepting rusty awards, so that was nice. (In southern rednecky accent: "I just want to thank my ma, my paw, and all those thur appliances that dun broke down.")

So, he took down the microwave, (actually, my husband did because he is like the tallest guy in the universe, which caused award-winning repairman-man to thank my husband for being a "tool" to get the microwave down... haha... dude totally called my hubby a "tool") then he looked at the wires in the back, grabs some sort of wrench or pliers or something and tweaks a wire and said microwave is fixed, which took less time than it takes to heat up Easy Mac delicious and healthy vegetables.

TTTHHEEEENNNNNNNNNN he tells us we owe him $135 for labor. Tall Handsome Husband Troy says "wait.... but it took you 5 seconds to fix it" to which Award Winning "Tool" Name Caller To My Husband -Man says.... "But, I got my tools out."

WTF?!
