Kelly: Sorry, I was on a call when you left.
Handyman: You were on a call when I got there and you were on the call when I left.
Kelly: Yes, wasn’t expecting that.
Handyman: It’s fine.
Kelly: Send the invoice? Or just let me know what I owe you. I can send payment now.
Handyman: I was only there for twenty minutes. It took longer to drive.
Kelly: Yeah, exactly. I’m paying you. Let me know what you charge.
Handyman: Your son could have done it on his own, I reckon with a little encouragement.
Kelly: No, trust me. He couldn’t.
Handyman: I reckon he could. And I can’t charge for a friendly deed.
Kelly: I held that air conditioning unit out the window with him, trying to install it, for over an hour last night. It took you twenty minutes to do it and I was on the phone the whole time.
Handyman: There’s no professional fee for helping someone out.
Kelly: Um… yes, there is.
Handyman: Buy me some Guinness.
Kelly: What kind?
Handyman: There’s only one kind.
Kelly: With the spinner in it.
Handyman: Yes. The Widget.
Kelly: Yes. The Widget.
Handyman: What a magical thing, that widget. But, it must be a can.
Kelly: Yes of course the large can with the widget.
Handyman: There’s only one size of can.
Kelly: Got it. Right.
Handyman: Do you drink Guinness?
Kelly: Yes. I know about the spinner widget.
Handyman: If you hate it you’ll never like it.
Kelly: I like it.
Handyman: Magical.
“IIf you hate it you’ll never like it.” We now need handyman merch.
I’m glad you were shown some kindness, Kelly. You deserve. 🩷🩷
