Needless to say the work he did was decent, it works so there's that, but the time it took and craftsmanship was ... shit to say the least. He didn't clean up after himself, there was wiring pieces and crap everywhere, and a one hour job took 4-5 hours, dragging the original estimated time out way longer than it should have been. Originally i envisioned a few hours of work, but it took this guy 2 days to wire out 15 outlets and 10 switches. Didn't pay him much for the favor, just wanted to gauge his work, and i terminated the friendship because he had a lot of other personal problems i simply didnt want to deal with. I didn't lose much out of it except time, but ive noticed im curtailing out all these idiot retards out of my life, simply dont have the time or patience t care to help them anymore, and my gf keeps me grounded enough to know i should know better now

Were you the guy asking if he should hire his recovering drug addicted friend for work?

[–] [deleted] • 1 pt

yup, thats the one. I gauged him by paying him a hundred bucks. Needless to say ... his work was functional but the finish and quality was absolute crap

I used to do the same thing, which is where i came up with the advice I had given before. Just like if you want someone to never speak to you again, lend them 20-100 bucks. Thus is the cost of friendship.
