This guy in a Denver attic told me I was 'just a cable guy'

I was up there in July, maybe 110 degrees, running a new line for his home office. He stood at the hatch and said, 'Hurry up, you're just a cable guy, it's not brain surgery.' I had just spent twenty minutes explaining the signal loss from his old splitter. It really got under my skin. Anyone else get that kind of talk when you're just trying to do a good job?

Told him he was full of it, @ray648. Honestly, it was some weak excuse about traffic. I just said "sure, man" and left it at that. Wasn't worth a real argument.

Just walk away next time, saves you the headache of listening to their excuses.
