I had a neighbor who needed to replace his well pump, I offered to do it as I had a Well puller and his well was over 300 ft. down. I went over set up and tuned into my Fav radio guy the Rushbo show on my truck. My neighbor informed me that he hated Rush and would appreciate it if I turned him off. I said no Problem and after I turned it off I started packing up my equipment. He was very upset and asked what the problem was. I said I was doing him a favor and in lui of pay I would have liked to listen to a show I enjoyed. He ended up paying a guy 4000.00 dollars to pull and install a new pump which I would have done for free.

Good for you for standing your ground. Rude leftists abound.

Great story :-)

But I wouldn’t call that guy a ‘friend’, and you did the right thing.

I got the biggest smirk on my face reading that.

On a similar non-political vein, I work out at cell towers. We are not supposed to have smoking in our buildings. I hate smoking, I think it is stupid. With that said, when we hire crews to climb our tower, and they light up, I'm not saying squat. Dude, if you are willing to climb 300 feet up a tower when it is 15 degrees outside, "Smoke 'em if you got 'em."

My previous dentist used to listen to NPR all day. He was a good and very gentle dentist but imagine being drilled on while having to listen to NPR. LOL
