True Story

By
Home Inspector with Watz Home Inspections
Everybody likes blonde jokes, me too because I'm married to one(blonde not a blonde joke). A while back I was doing a home inspection for a buyer(yes a blonde) and I discovered a gas leak by the water heater. She then proceeded to tell a story about one day her mother had called her at work and was freaking out because she smelled gas. She told her mother not to worry because she would call the gas company for her. She called the gas company and notified them of the gas smell and they asked her for her address and said they send someone right away. The next day when she went to take a shower she had no hot water because she gave the gas company her own address instead of her mothers and since nobody was home and a gas leak had been reported the gas company is required to shut off the gas. And they wonder why they tell blonde jokes.

That is pretty funny!  Not being blonde, even though I started life that way, I have never done anything so silly. Ha!

You know, this is pretty funny because it actually happened.  At least she realized what happened.  It may have taken her a few minutes, though.

That's pretty bad, nut let's be honest, there are a lot of non-blondes out there that are just as bad or worse.

That was great! I can see that happening and all the while she was probably complaining that the gas company was taking to long to get to the property.

 Nic I actually had someone ask me if he was writing about me.  I've done some stupid things in my day, but none that I can honestly say would effect my life that drastically.  I would have called the Gas Company and said my senile grandmother called in and goofed up the order!

Gary  Woman..complain??  What are you thinkin?
