I ask if the tap water is ok to drink and he says yeah, I just have them "because you never know". And said in a way that it should be obvious and dont most people do this.
I do this, but Seattle is earthquake-prone so its best to have a few days worth on hand.

I keep my urine in them. If you flush your urine they’ll have your DNA and cocaine residue.

Nah just two of the jugs. That reminds me, I need to replace them (you should once a year).

Just had a washing machine repairman here who was right of central casting for Eastern Europeans. I really had to not laugh at how perfect he was. One of our cats, as is her way with newcomers, was all over his shit. As I shooed her away, he said, "It okay. I have cat. She good." And, after telling me that it's more sensible for us to buy a new washer than fix this one, bluntly informed me of the cost of the service call: "You owe me $79 plus tax." In a different circumstance, it could have sounded like a threat. Anyway, perfect.

Was he leaving it to you to work out what the tax was going to be?

We spent the afternoon driving around Trudeauville pricing out washers (and, as it turns out, dryers, as we ended up upgrading all around). Cutting through one upscale area, I said to the Boss: "Slow down. This neighbourhood looks litigious."

Unintended third update of the washer/dryer saga. They were just delivered and one of the delivery guys was Big Papi's smaller brother. No, not in a white guy "all black people look the same to me" way. He seriously looked like David Ortiz, right down to the gap between his front teeth, even his voice. Just not superhuman-sized like Papi. It was eerie.

An observation spanning many years and many employers: Most companies don't know how to train new employees. :meh:

Training consists of letting you use your best judgement and chastising when it goes against the unwritten code.
