From the Journal of a Maintenance Technician: Common Sense...yet again

If you have a condition that requires a certain amenity, please rent a place that has that amenity installed and fully functioning. Example: I had a situation thrown on my lap that involved me finding some way for a dishwasher to fit in a tiny kitchen of a unit in a building that is over 90 years old. Why? Because a tenant has a skin condition where dishsoap causes a bad reaction with his skin and the property manager said we'd install one for him, which he probably shouldn't have.

From the Journal of a Maintenance Technician: Common Decency

When a repair person is at your place, please wear pants, especially if you have stand a foot away, and make the situation less awkward.
