broken pipe under my sink, landlord has a deal w/the plumbing company so it's billed direct. think I should tip the guy? maybe 45 minutes work. he didn't want a beer 
edit--the guy finishes, after a good 10 minutes of near-shouting into his radio. He asked me to walk down to his truck with him to sign the paperwork to save him another hike up and down the stairs. Ok, so I went down there and he gives me a blank workorder and asks me to sign it.
I said "I'd prefer if you filled out your part first." He goes "you're the 2nd one today to impugn my integrity". WTF, I say "don't take it personal, that's the right way to do things." He spends 10 minutes fussing over it then gives it to me, I scan it and sign. He goes "you didn't even read it." WTF again, I say "sure I did". He points to one part and goes "you don't even know what those abbreviations mean". So now it's GO-TIME with the plumber. I said "who cares, I see the $112 at the bottom and I know what that means." (seemed reasonable for 45 minutes & 3 pipes). He just shakes his head and laughs out loud, and I walked away.
He's probably out in the street blocking up my sewer right now.
