So, my summer job is working for my dad's plumbing company. Ive been everywhere are New York fixing shit, cleaning shit, and putting in shit. Not to mention dealing with a lot of shitty people.

Today we were working in this million dollar house in Dewitt and I was just stunned. A 2 story (with a basement) 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, HUGE kitchen/dining room. This house is GIANT. The thing that upset me was the fact that I had to install 8 faucets in this house today. and each faucet cost between 200-300 dollars. Why the hell do you need to spend that much on FAUCETS! They dispense dirty tap water. Who cares. You can get a good looking one for like 50 bucks.

The best part, these 300 dollar Faucets were absolute pieces of shit. We had to take them apart and put all new gaskets in them and rebuild everything because they leaked like mother fuckers. Now, my dad and I almost never get leaks on anything we do, and Ill be damned in near every single faucet we put in leaked terribly.

Its beyond me why people would pay so much money for shit like that. Hey, I guess, if you've got it, why not waste it. Better yet, instead of buying these shitty faucets why dont you give me half the money so I can pay the rest of my way through college and never have ANYTHING to do with plumbing EVER AGAIN!

BTW: Im a newb, feel free to flame for no reason at all.
