Bad day on a new build in Phoenix

Last Tuesday I was running cable in a new development out in Buckeye. 105 degrees with no shade on the roof. My drill battery died 20 minutes in. Had to climb down and swap it. Then the homeowner shows up and asks why our truck is parked crooked in the driveway. Guy wanted me to move it before I finished the drop. Lost 45 minutes dealing with that. Anyone else have a customer complain about something dumb while you're sweating through your shirt?

Never occurred to me homeowners actually watch us work from inside their AC.

Used to think the opposite but this actually opened my eyes a bit.

Gotta say though, Buckeye is pretty much the surface of the sun in summer. I mean, 105 is basically a cool front for out there. But yeah, homeowners love to nitpick when you're already dying.
