Used to think bad luck was random but your story proves it's all about timing.

Man, that's the oldest trick in the book. You fix one gross mess and suddenly you're a miracle worker who can do no wrong. Bet they'd give you a different review if you showed up and their toilet was just clogged with a regular turd instead of an office-wide disaster. Next time bring a plunger and really sell the theatrics - make them think you wrestled a sewer gator or something.

Man, that line about page 3 contradicting page 12 hit me hard. I've been there with client documents that feel like they were written by two different people who never talked to each other. It just makes you wonder if they even read the thing before they sent it.

That store brand swap really adds up fast, I totally feel you on that.

Probably depends if he used finish nails or framing nails too.
