CAN YOU TOP THIS?

Welcome to the latest edition of our popular “Can You Top This?” column, featuring the newest entry in the Service Industry News “Horror File. ”

This issue’s entry comes to us from Steve Homer, President of the United Pool Association in Huntington Beach, California.

“Hello Service Industry News!”, writes Steve. “Jim Hunt, from on of our chapters in Bakersfield, California, sent this to me. Our insurance broker, Sean Reardon, had one word for Jim. RUN!”

Thanks, Steve. We can’t imagine why he would say such a thing.

At Service Industry News, we would rather go behind the scenes and take a closer look at the type of stuff our readers encounter everyday — cracked tiles, spaghetti plumbing, rats in heaters, cars in the pool, snakes in the plumbing, and more!

When you are out in the field and you see something that doesn’t look right, send us an email along with a picture and a brief description: Attention Horror File, serviceindustrynewscd@yahoo.com.
