As soon as we had our home phone connected we must of gotten six calls, my favorite one was they said this was "Home Depot and we have a $25 gift certificate for you."I said I was just in your store yesterday and bought a lawn mower, thanks you can just mail me the certificate. "Well, we would like to come out in person and present it to you", I said that' OK, were pretty busy and were in and out all the time. They said, "we would like to come by and do a free water test of your drinking water". I said, it's OK, I don't mind the drinking water and my neighbor just spent $3000 on a water purifier and he's had nothing but trouble with it. They said, "Who installed his water system? I said, "I didn't ask him, because I don't care, and you're not really Home Depot are you?" and they hung up.

The part about my neighbor is true, he paid $3100 and several times I had to go knock on his door because water was running out of a pipe on the side of his garage down my driveway, which I can see but he couldn't. Finally after several calls and about four days later, they came and hopefully fixed the problem.
