The example of the door dents was particularly relevant for me, because it actually happened. When we built our house in 2000, the front door got a lot of dings in it. We mentioned it to the builder, and they sent over a new door but never installed it. We stored it against a wall in the garage. 19 years later and it's still in the garage. The only time it's moved is when it fell over and put a dent in the car. Not sure what conclusions you can draw from that.
- wil421 7y agoSame thing happened with my parents in ‘98. Builder installed a warped window. They noticed it during the final walkthrough and the builder sent them a new window. It’s still sitting in their garage.

- lonelappde 7y agoCertainly. It's a flaw in English (and perhaps our brains in general) that it's easier to discuss objects than services. A Verb in the Kingdom of Nouns and all that jazz.
