OT but still tangentially relevant - In the cold wave a couple of weeks ago in Texas, our pipes froze and the tap on the outside of the house burst. We were not sure about the extent of the damage so we called a plumber. He charged a cool $350 to simply replace the tap. Took all of 15 minutes.
- RHSeeger 5y ago> We were not sure about the extent of the damage > He charged a cool $350 to simply replace the tap No, he charged you $350 for his knowledge that replacing the tap was the right solution in this case. If all you had to do was replace the tap, you could have done that yourself and saved a bunch of money. But you didn't know that was all that needed to be done; he did. You paid for his knowledge, not simply the act of replacing the tap. See also: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/know-where-man/ https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/know-where-man/
