The Repairman Who Didn’t Listen and Faced a Hilarious Consequence
It’s often said that men don’t always listen to instructions, and unfortunately for one repairman, this proved to be true. Sometimes, despite being told exactly what to do (or not do), they make their own decisions—and that doesn’t always end well! Such was the case for a handyman called in to fix a woman’s dishwasher.
Like many service professionals, this repairman probably thought he was in for a routine job, but he soon found out this was no ordinary day. Let’s dive into the story to see how things unfolded.
A Clear Set of Instructions
Laura’s dishwasher had stopped working, so she contacted a repairman to come by and fix the issue. However, she couldn’t be home that day because of work. To ensure everything went smoothly in her absence, Laura left simple but specific instructions for the repairman.
She said, “I’ll leave the key under the mat. Fix the dishwasher, leave the bill on the counter, and I’ll mail you a check. Oh, by the way, don’t worry about my bulldog, Bob. He won’t bother you. But, whatever you do, do NOT, under ANY circumstances, talk to my parrot! I repeat, do not talk to my parrot!”
The Unexpected Visitor
When the repairman arrived the next day, he found the key and let himself in. As soon as he stepped inside, he was greeted by Bob, the bulldog. The dog looked intimidating—big, tough, and definitely capable of causing trouble. But, true to Laura’s word, Bob simply lay on the carpet, lazily watching as the repairman went about his business. So far, so good!
But then came the parrot.
From the moment the repairman started working, the parrot began squawking. The bird hurled insults, yelled at the top of its lungs, and didn’t stop. As the minutes dragged on, the repairman found it increasingly difficult to ignore the loud, pesky creature.
Losing His Cool
At first, the repairman tried to remain calm and focused on the task. He worked on fixing the dishwasher while the parrot’s relentless barrage of noise filled the room. The yelling, cursing, and name-calling pushed him to his limits.
Finally, unable to handle it any longer, the repairman snapped. He shouted at the bird in frustration, “Shut up you stupid, ugly bird!”
The Parrot’s Perfect Comeback
Without missing a beat, the parrot replied, “Get him, Bob!”
What happened next? Well, we can only imagine how fast the repairman made his exit! Laura’s clever warning was not about Bob after all—it was her mischievous parrot that made the situation go sideways.
This hilarious encounter is a reminder that sometimes, it’s best to follow instructions, especially when they come with such specific warnings. We hope this story brought a smile to your face.
