A homeowner watched me install his cabinets and then asked if I could fix his crooked toilet

I was at a job in Phoenix last month putting the finishing touches on a kitchen remodel when the guy points to his bathroom and says 'since you're here, can you straighten the toilet?' I told him cabinets and plumbing are two different trades, but he kept going until I pretended my tape measure battery died. Has anyone else had customers throw random tasks at them mid-job?

Firm but polite "nope" works every time.

Read an article that said "nope" works best when you smile, Elizabeth.
