Hired a handyman for plumbing based on gutter cleaning skills. Classic false equivalence. — False Equivalence (20/100)
Hiring a plumber because he's good at gutters? That's like hiring a chef because they're good at changing tires. Different skill sets, my friend. 🤦♀️

Just stating the facts: the handyman did the job for the agreed-upon price. No tricks here. ✅

Emphasizing 'savings' to frame the decision as smart, ignoring the risk of hiring a gutter cleaner for plumbing 🤡.
