Or the opposite. “Howdy! Need directions? i just cleaned the grill and that clicking sound is the boot on your passenger-side CV joint.”
I'm the guy in the neighborhood where the conversations go like this:
Them: "Hey jubilationtcornpone, do you have a tool for doing [obscure DIY job] and if so, can I borrow it?"
Me: "Oh yeah, I have one of those. Sure, you can borrow it."
Them: "Ha! That's awesome. I just knew you'd have one. How do you even figure out how to use all those tools?"
Me: "You start by being too poor or too cheap to pay someone else to do it correctly."
And you keep the once in a lifetime tools because you're too poor to risk having to buy it again some day.
If you don't start off poor then you start by being too cheap to trust someone else to do it correctly. When you get older you graduate to not TRUSTING someone else to do it correctly. That leads to you being poor because you start spending a zillion dollars on tools.
“Yay! Visitors!”
I've met this guy. He was awesome. He made great food. And the clicking sound from my car was, indeed, exactly what he said.
That sounds expensive.
