‘little’ problem becomes not so little…
had a pipe leak in the basement
call plumber who arrives next day
went to turn off water, shutoff valve leaks a bit
to replace main valve water must be shut off at street
which means call to water company and wait on them
water guy arrives, tries to flip street shutoff
shutoff vent is half collapsed and full of dirt
requires street crew to fix, crew is busy on another job
2 hour minimum wait just for them to show up
