Woman Tells Her Electrician She’s Right Because She’s Rich, And It Backfires Horribly

Even though it feels rewarding as hell, not every house renewal project is a DIY project. Especially when it concerns something that could turn you into a pile of ash. Because of that, this electrician advises all of his clients NOT to touch any wires after he presents them the plans of the work. One woman, however, wouldn’t listen…

Being rich doesn’t solve all the problems, and karma doesn’t favor anyone. “Our lawyer is really confident so let’s hope that it doesn’t drag out,” the electrical worker commented. “I don’t even feel bad.”

Scroll down to read how everything unfolded and let us know in the comments if you think the retribution was appropriate.

“Had a client argue with me that she knew what she was doing because she was rich”

“She got electrocuted after I told her to not do the thing and is now suing me”

The internet was shocked to learn some people think so good of themselves

I'm not sure who is right here since we're only getting his side. I hear a little class warfare going on with the harping on "she's rich" so she's arrogant, even if she brought it up (but did she really? Who says that?). Rich or not, she's paying a business to do a job so there should be some sort of effort to meet her requirements. There's also the male vs female component: male sub-contractors are notorious for being condescending to women about their work. Yes it's a generalization. Lastly, he's going public because she's threatening to sue so he's trying to make her look as bad as possible and himself as good as possible. Just saying that there could be more to the story. Then again, it could be exactly as he described.

Also, if this story is true and this persons side is accurate, then the electrician DID make an effort to meet the clients requirements, even though they felt the requirement was ridiculous.

Working in cs, somehow that kind of attitude does not surprise me. People do the opposite of rules and instructions and then it's our fault when sh*t happens.

A friend of mine is a CS on a travel company. She received a special order email im French which she spoke none of it. So she sent a reply in English and her costumer wrote an angry letter in broke English, saying don't force him to write in English. Then, she used Google Translate, since no one speaks French, but then her costumer wrote (again in English) her French isn't understandable.

She's likely an idiot but... I doubt she actually said "I'm right because I'm rich." Though too many people take the "The customer is always right" foolishness too far.
