Had a Tuesday last month that almost made me quit the trade

I was in Appleton fixing a Samsung fridge that kept throwing a temp sensor error. Replaced the sensor, still bad. Then the compressor wouldn't kick on. Three hours in I find a chewed wire behind the back panel from a mouse. Customer said they never saw any mice. That one job ate up my whole morning and pushed back 2 other calls. Has anyone else had a single repair spiral into a nightmare like that?

Found a mouse nest in a dryer once, full of stolen socks.

Wait, stolen socks? Like the mouse actually took them into the nest? That's wild. I had a call once where a squirrel had gotten into a wall unit and packed it full of acorns and insulation, took me forever to figure out why the fan kept locking up. This job was already a nightmare with the chewed wire, I don't think I could handle finding someone's missing laundry in a dryer on top of it.
