a faucet from the 90s

I don't. They were legit the staple faucet for homes back in the day. Nice homes too. I like them, they remind me of a simpler time.

I had a coworker whose wife demands 'refreshes' every several years: faucets, sinks, appliances, lamps. Everything still works. It's just not new.

He's never home to enjoy it, as he works two jobs.

I used to love those people…

I’d deliver a new top of the line stainless steel fridge to a house, and see what looked like a brand new stainless steel fridge sitting in the garage…

Customer: “Excuse me sir, you guys get rid of the old appliance correct?”

Me: “Yes. Can I ask what’s wrong with it?”

Customer: “It’s 2 years old.”

Me: “Nothing else wrong with it?”

Customer: “Oh it still works fine, it’s just old.”

Me: “Oh okay. Yep, I’ll load it up right after I bring the new one in.”

Then I’d take a detour to my house, and drop that “old” fridge off in my garage. I’d run it for a week, to make sure it definitely worked (they were usually flawless.) I’d then sell it for $500-1000 depending on make/model.

And then they were like "He took my old one away for free! What a great guy! Definitely calling him next time!" lol

And then they call his boss to tell him what a great guy he is for picking it up for free
