Perplexed
We had our new front door installed last week. The permit process wasn't too terrible because the contractor handled most of the leg work. The contractor did a nice job and now I sit and wait for the inspection/approval by the city.
This is where I am totally perplexed. I have an appointment with the city inspector for today. Yep, today. No window of time (like a 4 hour window wasn't vague enough with every other vendor in South Florida). I skipped my run today because I didn't want to chance being away or in the shower when they showed up. (yes, I could have gotten up at the crack of dawn to get it in before the kids got up but I wasn't feeling it.)
How hard is it when it's a city inspection (you have a known territory) to make a general estimate on when you could be here? I am sure there is more to this process than I understand but it irks the crap out of me to know that I am basically on call for them.
I hope this annoyance doesn't turn into bad karma and they don't approve us. Maybe I should have saved this comment for after the inspection.

I always think of that Seinfeld quote when Kramer is giving the cable guy the run-around and the cable guy finally concedes with: "Dammit, if doctors can do it, so should we!"
"All day" as a timeframe is ridiculous.
You continue to amaze me...you've lived in that ass-backwards state for over 10 years now and you STILL can't figure out that there is zero, ziltch, nada for common sense, yet you still complain about it :-)You will never get any what-so-ever customer service...so deal with it
I did jinx us. They never showed and I was on a work call until after 6. Now I get to bitch at people tomorrow and can't be available until next week to wait on their ass.
Kevin, I have become pretty hardened to shitty service so now it's the absurd that I complain about (beyond normal crap expectations).
