Maskhole: HVAC guy refused to put a mask on. I said mask or leave. He left. [View all]

This is the guy I have used for 15 years. I know he's a Trumper; never was obnoxious about it but I finally said fuck it. I found another service person who came come this PM. It's 54 in the house and a tad chilly but fuck that crap. Goddamn trumper asshole.
