Your craft

I have for a long time now been wondering what happened to all the craftsmen (and women, I am ranting so get off my case) in the world. If you know where they went, please call me and let me know. I need a few to do some quality work.

We have had much work done to our house and cars in the past year. No one really gives a shit. I detest all those non-give-a-shitters. Look it it is really simple, if you are going to do something and you are planning to charge me money for that something, make sure you are at least as good as me at your something. Charging me a premium only pisses me off if you suck at your chosen craft. Know that I am watching. Know that if the gutters leak after you put them up that you will be coming back until they do not leak. Know that if you replace my roof and there is an ice dam in the corner I will be calling you. Know that if you replace my transmission and there is a funny noise in the wheel well where you took the front wheel assembly off, you will fix it.

Also know that if you chose to mess with me about it that I will call your bitch ass out. Lets say that you happen to replace a computer cluster in a Ford and you don't do it correctly, not once, not twice but three times, I will come back. Also know that if you refuse to complete your work like, say, Lakewood Auto Electric on the corner of Kipling and Colfax and I have to pay someone else to get the seat heater working after you pooch the job, I will bad mouth your service to anyone that will listen. Don't treat me poorly, take my money and expect me to lay down. One less auto electric service shop? So what.
