While I'm on the subject, my current pet peeve is tradespeople who volunteer to offer an opinion or a quote or whatever and say they'll call to discuss within a few hours, then reschedule for the next day, then drop off the radar entirely and ignore all calls and texts. If you can't do something, don't offer to do it FFS, or at least send me a one-liner saying you're super busy so can't fit it in. I spend lots of time trying to figure out who's got the expertise to help and then they are super positive and then they engage ghost mode, whyyyyyyyy.
