Thanks, but No Thanks

by

fiction

- We need to find another plumber. Ours must think we're either rich or silly, or both.

- OK.

- Why are you blinking like you have no idea what I'm talking about?

- Eh? Can you see a thought bubble over my head or what?

- What? I said we need to ask for another quote/estimate. Jeff's is $300.

- $300 for fixing a faucet? As if.

- He's also not sure he can fix it because it's an old model that might be discontinued.

- I just know one thing: every time he comes over to fix something, he drives a different car that's more expensive than the last one.

- I know. The last one was such a flex.

- Since when do plumbers drive Maseratis? My father was a plumber and he could never afford a decent car.

- Times have changed. Finding a plumber who's available is like finding a needle in a haystack.

- Whatever. Thanks, but no thanks.
