A family has been left stunned today after their generational run of getting ghosted by tradies was finally broken this morning.
Not only did the tradie actually rock up but he arrived exactly when he said he would to do a quick little job worth only a coupla of hundred to him.
We spoke to Rob who took the morning off work to let the man in. He told The Times,
“For the past year I’ve felt like Clive Waterhouse on the interchange bench of life. I’ve lost count of how many days I’ve spent waiting for a tradie to rock up with my thumb in the proverbial, you can only imagine my surprise when I heard that door bell ring”
Rob watched on in awe as the diligent tradie finished the job competently and even cleaned up after himself. All without having to go on a 45 minute round trip to the wholesaler to pick up some random party he should’ve known to bring.
If he was honest, Rob thought he was on one of those early 2000s prank shows. He told The Times,
“I was waiting for the punchline, which when it comes to minor home repairs, is always me. However, he did as he promised. He even noticed a crappy old power point in my loungeroom and said he’d fix it up for no extra charge”
Rob couldn’t believe it. Finally, his ceiling fan had been installed, he was only charged what was quoted and his room was left spotless. He truly felt that he was living in a parallel universe.
Of course, he headed straight to social media to brag about his experience but no one believed him. With some suggesting he get off the rock or whatever he must be smoking.
Oh, well, Rob, you know deep down in your heart it happened.
