The Whistling Plumber

I had to call a plumber yesterday b/c the toilet in my bathroom was having issues. There was something wrong with the pump. At first, Jay, our maintenance guy, said that I could easily fix it myself and said he had an extra of the part I would need. But since my luck hasn’t been the best and I have this home warranty anyway, I decided that it was worth the $45 to have someone else do it.

The guy came by about 5 p.m. yesterday and was super nice. Feeling a little strange leaving a stranger a lone in my bedroom, I stuck close by. This guy cracked me up because the whole time he was working, he whistled – and was actually pretty good at it. He seemed to be a fan of Harry Connick/Michael Bublé type music. Normally whistlers bug me, but he was entertaining. He also didn’t charge me as much as he was supposed to because he was only there for 10-15 minutes.

And for those of you wondering, this plumber understands the concept of a belt and was crack-free!
