My faith in humanity has been revived a a bit lately, and let me tell you it's been in a real crappy place.
Had a landscape contractor who I priced some work for at a large remodel I was wiring call another guy for a price for some of the outside work. Without going into details it was a real low way to go about what she was trying to do. Anyway the other guy called me and told me what was going on. He said no way would he do that to me and we have to stick together on things like this. I hardly even know the guy and would not have faulted him for taking the work.
Another contractor I recently did some work for pulled a simillar deal. He called a friend of mine however, and my friend told him no way. The guy asked my friend if he was going to call me to tell me what happened and of course my friend said yes and called.
That contractor promotes his business as an honest upstanding hometown contractor. The reality is his work is garbage and he wants nothing more than to avoid permits and doing things correctly. He also has no problem with his guys doing electrical work. Not someone I want to work with anyway.
Next case....I was out running today when a major thunderstorm rolled in. Two people actually stopped to see if I wanted a ride home. I didn't take the ride and I lived through the storm though it would not have been a surprise to have drowned with the amount of rain that was comming down.
Minor issues in the grand scheme of things but it is nice to see there are some good people out there still.
