lichés  -- Phrases your parents and grandparents always say: Let’s roll up our sleeves and get to work. It’s more than the law allows. It was like a zoo in there.


 

It usually takes an amateur three trips to Home Depot in order to solve a plumbing problem because at first you are not really sure what happens. And you have to ask the guy and then you buy parts and take them to your house and the parts don’t fit right so you go back to Home Depot with the old rusty parts and show the guy then he gives you the right parts and you go back and make some progress but then you realize you need another part. Parts are expensive. So I finally get the right parts and get it done after about four hours and a lot of language I can’t repeat.
