Repairmen

I had a guy come look at my dryer. The thing wouldn't start. He stared at the dryer for a good 4 minutes, bent down and picked up a little piece off the floor with an "Aha!", and proceeded to glue it back to the door. That cost me 400 shekel. My 4 year old could have done that. Throw in some glitter and googly eyes and it could have been a fun afternoon activity. When questioned as to his astronomical fee, he explained that the problem was very complex and a dryer is nothing to fool around with, Ma'am.

Conversely, before accepting payment, my plumber insists on describing, in full detail, what went wrong, where, when, and how. Now THAT information I can do without.
