Re: Return of the Mighty Observations Thread
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.

Re: Return of the Mighty Observations Thread
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."

Re: Return of the Mighty Observations Thread
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.

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