Plumber's Customer Won't Pay In Full, Sweet Grout Revenge Ensues


Man, this is a fine example of why it pays to be a reasonable, good human being, and not mess with your servicemen. This plumber was just doing his job, to the requirements asked of him, and the clients decided to make a mess of the whole peaceful operation. Clearly, they were trying to skip out on paying the whole bill. So, the plumber was extra sweet with finishing up the job. What might seem like a petty revenge on the surface, really evolves to be more of a cold and calculated pro revenge that likely haunted the folks for a long while after the job was "done."

Text - 1 3 2 Sweet revenge I was told y'all would appreciate this. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did :) My father is a plumber. Great guy, does the work you want and does his best on every job, acting like it's his own home, to try to make sure the customer is satisfied. He was doing a job at a home where they wanted a complete bathroom remodel. Asking the owners of the home the whole way through specific things

Text - Where they wanted the sink, shower, toilet to be located, What kind of tiles, what designs for said tiles, Even down to what color grout they'd want. He did everything to their specifications, and on one of the last days of work (the day he was grouting everything) they decided to say it wasn't the correct tiles, they didn't like it, and were going to pay him HALF of what he quoted them.

Text - He only got paid half, but much more than that they had to spend on bug sprays, for years. Years. Nothing could keep the bugs away from that sweet, sweet bathroom. (According to a neighbor of theirs, who was a friend of my fathers) Don't fuck with your serviceman. Pay them. Don't be a prick or they may just be extra sweet. Edit: okay, because it seems that not everyone wanders comments for answers first like I do: No, there was not paperwork. (See below)

Text - -My father has started this business on his own from the ground up, and does most things on a handshake and good faith basis, which has (obviously) screwed him over a time or two but thankfully few and far between. He is NOT a 'take this person to court' person. Never has been. Eats the loss and moves on, sometimes a gold story like this comes out of it, sometimes we just lose money.

Text - -Yes, it's real, but thanks for your useless negativity. -Yes, obviously it screws with the stability of the grout, which is why they had to have it redone about a year later (they were not bright people and blamed the degrading grout on the sprays/bombs they used) -yes, even though it was redone, they still had issues with ants/bugs for years. They regrouted but the sugary grout residue is still there, nicely screwing with them :) (according to the neighbor who has recently updated my fa
