He has no mechanical aptitude or knowledge, and considers those who do manual labor to be "beneath" him. He asked me to drive 2-1/2 hours each way to his house so I can install a new ceiling fan for him because he thinks the $100 Lowe's/Home Depot want for this task is too much.
Let's see; five hours of driving, taking all my tools because he has none, buying all the miscellaneous bits and pieces that are never in the box, using an entire day of my time, so I can listen to him complain about the cost of hiring this work done.........
Yeah, real high on my priority list. Maybe this makes me a jerk, I haven't decided yet.
