Here's a good one for next time you get overcharged for some "service."
A feisty 70-year-old woman had to call a furnace repairman. After a quick inspection the man put some oil into the motor and handed her a $70 bill for labor.
"Labor charges!" she exclaimed. "It only took you five minutes."
The repairman explained that his company had a minimum one-hour
charge on every house call.
"Well, I want my remaining 55 minutes of labor," the lady responded, and she handed him a rake. The repairman spent the next 55 minutes in her yard bagging leaves.

LOL! That sort of reminds me of a cable repairmen I had. He was scheduled to be at my house between 1-3pm. The truck showed up at 12:30 and he just sat there. At 12:45 I went out and asked him if he was supposed to be at my house. He said he wasnt scheduled until 1... He sat there until 1 and then came in and did his 5 minutes of work!
