TIL my uncle's fridge fixes always came with life advice
Ngl, he used to help everyone on our street with their appliances for just a smile. Honestly, it feels like now it's all service fees and quick jobs without the personal touch. Do you think the trade has lost some of that neighborly connection over the years?

Our old neighbor, Mr. Henderson, would fix our lawnmower for a plate of cookies and a quick chat. Now you book a two hour window online and a guy in a uniform shows up, does the job in silence, and hands you a tablet to sign. It's all just a bill and a receipt. That kind of easy back and forth, where you help someone and they help you back in some small way, feels pretty much gone.

Yeah, holly312, we traded cookies for quick, cold service. The last guy who came over just nodded and handed me a screen to sign. It's all business now, no more helping out with a smile.
