Today, my washing machine broke down, within its warranty. I asked my neighbour if she could open the door for the mechanic while I was at work; she agreed. When I came home, I had a bill for 80 bucks for not opening the door. Her reason? She was busy watching her favorite TV show. FML

If you want something done right, do it yourself.

I would make her pay the bill for utter laziness.

No pun intended here, perhaps #13 is safe for now.

As its still in its warranty period, tell them to come back at a time convenient to you.

Well, how can you possibly expect her to fulfill her promises when her favorite TV is on? Stupid OP...

Give her a karmic retribution. Cut the cable to her receiver, if it's within inconspicuous reach..,

You should challenge the $80 fee. If the repair guy has a GPS to tell him how to get to your house, how come he doesn't have a TV Guide to tell him when the awesome shows are on? Huh? If my house caught fire during The Daily Show, I might not make it out alive!

I'm currently in school to become an appliance tech. This is actually a common occurance, if you get the wrong people. Although, the price sounds about right. It really is around $80 just to see what the problem is. Then depending on the problem.. you'll end up spending the same, or in the $100's...

A lot of time it's a rip off though. I worked as a mobile phone tech for 5 years. 70% of the time, the fault was something I could fix within a minute. That'll be $50, thanks. On the flip side, something could take me a day or 2 to fix (about 2% of cases), and it would still cost the customer $50 as my boss believed in fixed price repairs.
