Aladdin Plumbing: rub on a drain pipe and out comes the heteronormativity! This guy seemed to know his plumber's butt from his elbow, but when he told me to "smile" on his way out the door that was my cue to rely one of my first homoimprovemnt lessons: when someone sugarcoats a bad plumbing situation with a little heteronormative gender banter its reason to be suspicious of what they've got to make excuses about. Not to mention whether I want to deal with more "who's that on the phone, your husband?" No I'm not exagerating at all. Is he reading my blog? And, he won't give me an exact estimate, because the job is too tcomplicated. Nope, he's not granting my three wishes... But he did suggest a company who could do my water main, and guess what they're called: MAIN MAN!!!
Need I say more? This whole industry is built on and in the buisness of maintaining the status quo of the hetero gendered division of labor!
