We've had so many plumbing problems here.  Nothing super major, they just seem to happen frequently.  Clogged drains.  Leaking pipes.  Smelly water in the washing machine.  Issues with the dishwasher.  Sometimes it is user error (like using too much or the wrong kind of dishwashing detergent), sometimes it's from poor plumbing work done earlier in our home's life, and sometimes it's just normal wear and tear (like the pipe that suddenly had a quarter-sized hole in it. awesome).  Luckily, we've found some plumbers here in town that we really like.  They always get to us quickly, are reasonably priced, and super nice when they're here.  They've been here so often, that we're practically friends.

Yesterday our garbage disposal died.  I'm really hoping that it was just because it was old, not because of user error (because I learned our lesson from our last house, I swear).  Anyway, Marty bought a new disposal and the plumbers are coming tomorrow to install it for us.  This afternoon, I got a call:

Plumber:  Hey, it's Bruce.
Me: Hey Bruce!
Plumber: I'm wondering if I could switch your appointment tomorrow.
Me: Sure, what do you have?
Plumber: How would 8:00 work, is that too early?
* pause *
Plumber: It's okay if you're in your pajamas, it's happened before you know.
Me: Oh yes, I remember.  See you at eight.  I'll make sure the coffee is on.

Embarrassing AND funny.  The perfect combination for every plumbing encounter.
