Had my fill of old people. Once called social services because I was
concerned about the welfare of one old gent who live in total filth. This
guy had **** stacked to the ceilings and a narrow path from his sofa to
the bathroom. I couldn't even get at his equipment to service it.


Back in the 90's the shop had one where the customer called JVC to
complain that the tube had a pinhole in it because they had to clean a
thick ring of black soot off the tv to see it every day. Where they
got that information no one knows but the customer sounded quite off
when they were contacted to schedule the call.

Turned out the TV service tech who was sent had years previously
worked at an HVAC company.
Soon as he walked into the house he called 911 and informed the owners
they needed to leave the house immediately.

Black soot all over the gas forced air vents and tv set, the family
pet was laying in front of the door with heavy panting.

Anyone want to guess what was really the problem?
