When I called the Heating & Air Conditioning supplier to have service done on our furnace, the first thing the Heating & Air Conditioning supplier receptionist told me, was to make sure our critters were kennelled, and i had no concern putting our pet in his kennel, & I told her so; She gave myself and others the time when the Heating & Air Conditioning worker would arrived, & reminded myself and others they had a more than two-hour window.
Surprisingly, the Heating & Air Conditioning worker showed up right on time, he told myself and others he was running right on time, which was an oddity, & he hoped I had the critters put away, and the only critter I didn’t have put away was our fish.
They were happily swimming around in our fish tank, & knew they wouldn’t be a concern for the Heating & Air Conditioning worker. I totally misjudged the situation, then when the Heating & Air Conditioning worker walked through the family room, he stood still & could not move. He stared at the fish tank & was speechless. I told him they were only fish & they could not get out of the tank. He started crying, & wanted to think why all of us didn’t tell him about the fish. I could not think this 250 pound Heating & Air Conditioning worker was petrified of fish. He said his uncle used to teased him with fish. He could not look at a fish separate from becoming catatonic. I apologized, however no 1 had ever told myself and others I had to hide our fish from the Heating & Air Conditioning worker. I had to call the Heating & Air Conditioning supplier & tell them they needed to send another Heating & Air Conditioning worker. When I told them what happened, the owner of the Heating & Air Conditioning supplier started laughing so hard that he could not breathe, & he asked myself and others to repeat the story again while he put myself and others on speaker.
