Overcharged a guy $150 because I didn't double check the panel schedule first
Spent three hours tracing a circuit that turned out to be labeled wrong in a 1980s house outside Columbus, and the worst part was the homeowner stood there watching me the whole time asking if I was sure I knew what I was doing.

The last time I got stared at like that was when I was fixing a neighbor's sprinkler timer and their dog kept bringing me a slobbery tennis ball every two minutes. Guy stood there nodding like he understood what I was doing, but clearly had no clue. Eventually I just started naming random parts out loud like "yeah, the flux capacitor in the valve solenoid is worn out" and he finally went inside. Sometimes you just gotta make stuff up to get a moment of peace.

Making stuff up is a SOLID strategy for nosy homeowners.

Half the stuff I tell my landlord about why the sink is dripping is pure sci-fi, works every time.
