I literally drive 80km yesterday to turn off and on a fiber converter that the client assured me he had already turned off and on.

I once drove 6 hours (3 to get there and 3 to get back) to turn a printer off and then on again for a customer who refused to touch it at all.

I even told him I'd charge him the emergency rate and for a minimum of 8 hours. He was undeterred. It was easy money, but that day trip SUCKED.
