If you don't want to do it, just say so
Did you ever get the impression that someone simply doesn't want to take on
the job, for whatever reason? I stopped in at a place near work that
advertises that they do marine and motorcycle seat upholstry, so I though
I'd stop in to see if they could make a cover for my $150 Tour Tank. Now I
appreciate that there is a fair amount of work involved, but when she priced
it up and told me it would be $460 I thanked her for her time and left. I
assume that this is something that she just simply didn't want to do. That
AH in Georgia is probably thinking that I really don't appriciate the effort
actually involved. <g>

Well, I got some bids for plumbing a bathroom upstairs inna Hog-Den.
This is all new construction, easy to access and install th' shit. I
already had th' copper pipe n' fittings. This feller comes by and
takes a look at th' job and quotes me $4,000 fucking dollars! I axed
him if he was insane and he sezzed, nope, but I find a few ho moaners
that are insane enough to pay that much when I don't really want to do
th' work.

Gotta be honest with you here. Any job I don't want to do I and can't get
the customer to take no for an answer I bid high.
