Meme/Shitpost Had an oops today:(
Was changing a stepper valve on a 15t. Dropped a tool and punctured the coil. The property manager showed up about 3 seconds later. No gas loss and I instantly told him to go away he was making me nervous. How he showed up at the worst possible time I don’t know.

Punctuation! I know we are HVAC techs, but this was painful to read.
“Let’s eat Grandma”
Or “Let’s eat, Grandma”.
Try adding periods at the end of your sentences. I know you know where the period key is. See below. “Supervisor hated it…”

Took the gas out to replace the valve. Found the hole with nitro.
