“This isn’t what we asked for!” Total nonsense — they just didn’t want to pay. Dad didn’t argue. He just nodded, packed up his tools, and told them he’d “make it right.” Next morning? He showed up bright and early… and started removing everything. Sinks, showerheads, towel racks — gone. Even the fancy toilet paper holder. The Carlyles came running, shouting,
but Dad stayed cool. “If this wasn’t what you wanted,” he said, “I figured I’d take it back.” They ended up with an empty bathroom and a lesson in humility. Dad drove off with a grin and a truckload of reclaimed luxury. Moral of the story? Don’t try to outsmart a good man with a wrench — especially when he’s got receipts and righteous fury on his side.
