Preying on Old Ladies With Pensions
I'm fit to be tied since I called my mom. She's been having a problem with a blocked sink drain and finally called someone. (I won't say who she called but they are a big national company with a cute name and a cute commercial jingle. "Get it?" "Got it." "Good.") This git tried to sell her $8000 worth of plumbing repairs just to unblock her drain! What kind of schmuck tries to graft $8000 from an 87 year old lady who's living on social security and a pension from a late husband who worked in a factory? Like he couldn't tell what her income was like from that tiny little house and the shabby little car in the driveway. Jerk.
