This exchange with an electrician took an unintended twist and it’s very funny and all too relatable
It’s always a cause of mild anxiety when someone comes to your house to fix something or install something.
Aside from offering them a tea or coffee – that’s a given – we’re never quite sure how much to bother them, whether you’re doing too much/too little small talk. Basically making yourself look like an idiot.
And if there’s one exchange which perfectly captures our fear of what can go wrong, it’s surely this. It’s a tweet that went wildly viral after it was posted by @cestnepa5 because, well, look.

Oof.
Go get dressed in your best clothes and have a couple drinks ready?

Naturally everyone wanted to know what happened next.

And just in case, like a lot of people, you were wondering …
Why’s he text you saying “Hi Nick” when that’s his name ahahaha
This whole conversation is a mess 😂

my landlords name is Nick so that would’ve been the name he had since he booked it. I read the text wrong and thought he said “Hi it’s Nick”
