Did a job yesterday, a couple who are on standby offer to sell their big expensive house. I had the feeling the woman was complaining about the rate on the phone but she called back to take an appointment. I should of blocked her after her first call

I was greeted by the husband they wanted stuff fixed from the inspection report, the lav pop up was leaking, he didn't want to change it out even if it was corroded, tightened the nut ok. Then I replaced the kitchen faucet and told him the illegal auto piercing valve for the fridge and aquarium tubing was a flood waiting to happen. He replied the inspector didn't mention anything. I didn't get involved in that argument but he refused to cap it or redo the line.

Gave him the bill and he flipped out when he read I wrote they refused to fix the illegal line and corroded drain, he asked me to write another document not disclosing the fact. No way I'm cheating I'm protecting myself, that thing leaks and I'll be thrown under the train. He argued I was creating more work for myself. More work, you refused!! He kept at it for a while I was trying so hard to remain calm and kept saying no I'm not doing that false paperwork and I finally said will you sign and pay or not. He dialed his wife and came back after a few minutes and signed off pretending not to be angry. I finally got paid an hour later.

I dislike people now, so many problem customers.

I think the same woman left a 1 star review without any text but she used a pseudo name so I can't confirm if it's the same person but it was an hour and a half after the job. Do I write an explanation of the falsification they wanted me to commit?

I would certainly write an explanation for them giving you a bad review for not
lying for them....

you have the right to defend yourself

I'll write it up and see if it flushes them out or not and see if they decide to post something. If they post something they are going to expose how they wanted to cheat. What I dislike about the reviews is they can edit it anytime like years down the road and write anything they want including lies if I don't check I'll never know to defend against their claim.

Yes they can edit the review or even take it down too... and you can edit the review too if you if you so choose...
I have gone back in way later and made an updated response to some rotten coc/sucker
that could not just leave it lay.......

If they really wanted to start trouble, then they got a bunch of magazine subscriptions
landing in their mailbox for the next year or two they would have to deal with
🤣 🤣 :ROFLMAO: :LOL: :poop:

Anytime I’ve gone into a house 🏡 it’s smart to do a thorough evaluation of the plumbing system. People may ask “why do you want to look at all of my plumbing when I called you for a running toilet”. This is the EXACT reason why. To catch stuff like that saddle valve or anything else that may look bad. Customers will appreciate not having to file a home insurance claim.
I am sorry but I dont agree with you on this subject...
Most customers dont want you sniffing around looking for trouble...
I hear this a lot from people who have dropped those yearly
maintaince plans from plumbing companies that come by once a year
to "flush" the water heater just to get their foot in the door and find things wrong.
lots of them realize that they are being boned and discontinue the plans..

No, they cheat so not to pay and leave a bad review too. I'll refer them to you.
Tango I am sooo offended by your atitude
I think that you are being xenophobic and racist...maybe even homophobic too.

and they would come after you and give you a good stiff talking to......
