especially then. i always had to sign that the repairs under warranty had been performed to my satisfaction :?:
Well... the actual "repair" was performed and operates.

It was/is the total lack of a complete return to as-was
condition.

Depends on who your post was about. Bear's preferred pronoun is "he". But if you were posting about someone else, like Dale who you quoted or Tibs or Fran...."she".
Welcome to non-gender-neutral languages. Fun, right?
But then again, you enjoy waking up at 3 am, so...
Oooops... somewhere along the lines I got the distinct impression Bear was a... NVM!!!

Guess that explains the Bald Old Fart playing with his <ahem> parts. :lol:

Sorry Bear!!! :greengrin:

morning, dale, frannie, smt, and our bear! :)

condition.
i realize that - puzzled how/why this repair guy took off while your 'back was turned' ;) it was explained to me numerous times that without my signature there would be no reimbursement for the warranty repair. :?:
and, naturally, you would not have signed until all was put back!

3/8ths of the 8a-12p window for landline repair has passed.

ONLY saying.

(After a total no-show on 09/28... after waiting since 09/20).

(After watching the tech fix 2 neighbor lines that had the
same problem 09/26, but totally ignoring mine "while he
was up there".)

    No you can't
    It all depends on the mood!

    Left is right and right is left.
    Up is down and down is up.
    Light is dark and dark is light.

    According to the washing machine person, They fixed everything and put it all back as it was plus they cleaned up after themselves as always. You got nothing to complain about.

    Almost forgot morning snails.

    No you can't
    You'll got a lot work to be done today.

    Holiest day in Judaism and Samaritanism. It occurs annually on the 10th of Tishrei, the seventh month of the Hebrew calendar.



    Wear white unless you're a Nun than black with a little white..

    :eek: today in the snail neighborhood, the Snail Hood... i've learned...

    pronouns are, ummm, pretty dang cool... if you like y'all can call me IT, when in doubt go with smt. some in another thread could call me ralph (not my real name)... it's a running joke tied to a user name change Classy talked me out of... couldn't have SMT, cuz new XF requires four [4] characters :glare:... in the end i answer to many names... and because i am fairly adaptable and all for equal opportunity [and a host of 'other' things]... any pronoun will work followed by, or preceded, with SMT

    also learned...

    down is right
    left is up
    over there is not over here
    dark is, i'm sleeping, go the :censored: away
    light is... SMT all shiny and bright ... :w00t: ...

    and...
    wash machine repair 'people' aren't always, qualified or up to the task... moral of that story, in 2022 {and beyond} find the proper he (or she) who is UP to the task b4 employing said he/she

    oh yeah...
    never judge some old bald guy (HE/HIM) playin' w/HIS nuts, as an old bald guy... cuz, well... HE could be a steroids taking body builder with a full head of hair (a flag AND very dated socks from the 80s :lol:)... but i know full well @Uncle could have [would have] posted a shirtless HIM in a thong (or less, but with a much more colorful flag) :greengrin:

    either black or white with a little grey's okay {i think} / add any of the other ~16 million colours as desired, unless i'm a nun... hmmm, what to wear if a buddhist monk?

    finally we come to today's most important lesson...
    in the future, follow the lead of Dale, Fran and Tibs ...and just...go with some kinda flow...

    to be continued... very shortly...

    Warranty work may be performed only by certified appliance
    places. That leaves 3 here in Monroe County, NY.

    One place said 10/08

    Another place said 10/06

    THIS place said 09/29... but called on 09/28 and
    INSISTED 09/28 was the correct date. So, OK, fine.

    I took the earliest available place. THAT will teach ME,
    right?

    when in doubt... just go with...

    I am a modern man,
    A man for the millennium,
    Digital and smoke free.

    A diversified, multi-cultural,
    Post-modern deconstructionist;
    Politically, anatomically and ecologically incorrect.

    I’ve been uplinked and downloaded,
    I’ve been inputted and outsourced.
    I know the upside of downsizing,
    I know the downside of upgrading.

    I’m a high-tech low-life.
    A cutting edge, state-of-the-art,
    Bi-coastal multi-tasker,
    And I can give you a gigabyte in a nanosecond.

    I’m new-wave, but I’m old school;
    And my inner child is outward bound.

    I’m a hot-wired, heat seeking,
    Warm-hearted cool customer;
    Voice activated and bio-degradable.

    I interface with my database;
    My database is in cyberspace;
    So I’m interactive, I’m hyperactive,
    And from time to time I’m radioactive.

    Behind the eight ball, ahead of the curve,
    Ridin' the wave, dodgin' the bullet
    Pushin' the envelope.

    I’m on point, on task, on message,
    And off drugs.

    I’ve got no need for coke and speed;
    I've got no urge to binge and purge.

    I wasn't picking on you. Sorry if you felt I was.

    Hopefully your next certified appliance person gets it all resolved to your satisfaction.

    I enjoy the heck outta having fun... everywhere and all the time. In my life... nothing is off limits, there is humor to be found everywhere. Including in my own stupid stuff that I do, I laugh at myself, all the time. It's my nature, learned that from my Pops and Grandmother. Sometimes... I rub people the wrong way, it's never intentional though. Never.

    IMHO... our World, especially in these times, needs much more humor, bucketloads of smiling people, acceptance of all peoples and tons of love. I could be wrong, but my uber strong gut feeling tells me I am not.

    Going with the flow sometimes only promotes
    MORE bad service and/or behaviour. When you
    have been wronged, there is no error in speaking
    up and out... especially when money is involved.
    (Service and parts were "free", but I also pay for the
    extended warranty.)

    I did call the manufacturer and let them know what
    happened. Pretty sure it will go nowhere with them,
    so there's always Yelp, Google reviews and the
    appliance place's FaceBook page. If I was a member
    of Angi, Thumbtack, or HomeAdvisor, I'd go there as
    well.

    My error was not taking a few pictures.

    Me not knowing who Tom Of Finland is decided to look him up.

    "Touko Valio Laaksonen, best known by his pseudonym Tom of Finland, was a Finnish artist known for his stylized highly masculinized homoerotic art, and for his influence on late 20th-century gay culture."

    As I alluded to in my last post... I strongly believe in and fully support acceptance of all people (as it should be). As a straight man, I am for full equality for the LGBTQ community. I also fight for the rights of women to control their own bodies (as it should be). FWIW, my youngest daughter is gay and very happily married. :wub:

    Not illustrations, as Bear asked for, but I reckon these will do...

    good for you, bear! but i still can't figure out how that guy expects to get paid without your signature documenting he was actually there repairing :?:
    unless they take a video now?
