Find your Plumbing Match in the City of Angels

There was a guy who lived out on a nice street in Pasadena who got dumped by his long-time girlfriend just because of his plumbing: to put that differently, she couldn’t stand the shoddy state of his bungalow.

They got along swimmingly, enjoyed the same downtown restaurants, and generally kept out of each other’s hair during those delicate early-morning moments (and if you’re one of those ‘relationship aficionados, you know that’s easier said then done).  They seemed like destiny incarnate – but one day, over a shouting match about the standing water in the ground floor tub, she grabbed her purse and walked out into the So.cal sunset never to return.

Later, moaning about how it all could have been avoided with a call to a the Los Angeles plumber, he confided that he was to blame, as the topic had been a longstanding source of disagreement.  He knew a lot of the stuff was not in working order, and it has been long since time to put in some needed fixes.  It wasn’t a matter of money…not exactly.  Calling Los Angeles plumbers,, he said, was just too much of a hassle.  Maybe you know how this guy feels; just like with any contractors in L.A., any little project can turn into a lot of drama.  Why can’t some of these Los Angeles plumbers,  just skip the narcissism and get on with the job?  Why the wraparound mirror shades, the made-up accents, the gratuitous cut-off shirts and continual banter about how great they are?

Well, okay, not all Los Angeles plumbers,  are like that, and that was the thing about our hapless Romeo: he never took the time to see that one bad Los Angeles plumbing,  experience doesn’t account for all of the hard-working, industrious, and genuinely cool Los Angeles plumbers,  in the city.  He could have done a little more research, kept his romance aflame, and got on with the rest of his life…as it was, he quickly found another starlet to date, but the point is, for those who want to avoid being left ‘Under the Bridge’ in that city we live in, the City of Angels…it just might start and end with calling in the pros to fix your ancient hardware, your broken toilet or your drizzling shower.  Keeping your girl happy means providing the working hot and cold water…as the unfortunate plumber-phobic citizen found out.
