Seriously?

The gas man called, 15 minutes ago, to tell us he was on his way...

Brian left work and drove home, because the gas man said that Brian HAD to be here, his name is the one on the county permit, after all. 

The gas man knocked on the door and said that he can't do the work now because he has to go on 'a mergency' - he told us this about 6 times, and then he went and got in his van. 

Then a second van arrived...  and the two drivers sat on our driveway, talking about their 'mergency.

Seriously. 

They could have used that time to turn the gas on and it would all be done by now, it's a 30 second job! 

Sigh!
