I love my friends!
SNB called during break.
His reasoning is this: Labor rates for service techs; electricians, plumbers, mechanics, etc, are "bullshit" because they have a captive market, they know it, and they bilk everyone.
I explained to him the company I'm using has never screwed me over, has always been honest, and enjoys a good reputation. Mama A uses them exclusively. He said he's glad to hear this, but that doesn't change his reasoning. For him it's an ethical issue. I pointed out that ethics and economics go hand in hand. He agreed that they CAN, but so many techs are in it for the quick buck, so every tech is suspect, every labor rate is bullshit and he hates that this is the world we live in.
He has apologized and said he would try to keep his temper under control. He's not going to change his mind, his attitude or his reasoning.
*sigh*
I don't think this is a break up issue, but I'm already tired of it. What should I do?
