April 25th is National Hug a Plumber Day, but you might be wondering, why should you hug a plumber?
Few features of modern civilization are as under-appreciated as indoor plumbing—until it stops working. That moment the toilet doesn’t flush, the tap doesn’t run, or water leaks across the floor, that’s the moment you realize how important your plumbing is in your daily life, and how much we rely on plumbers to keep it working smoothly.
Let’s talk about just some of the things we can appreciate our plumbers for!
Plumbers Do Your Dirty Work
Plumbers often do the things we don’t want to do ourselves and that most of us aren’t trained to do. They do the dirty work—from unclogging toilets to repairing busted water pipes after a hard freeze.
Plumbers Provide Us With Comfort
Clean, accessible water is a luxury in many parts of the world. Without plumbers, we wouldn’t have access to a hot shower in the morning or efficient waste disposal, amenities we often take for granted.
Plumbers Are People Too
And most people just love to be appreciated for their hard work. So go on, thank the special plumbers in your life. They’ll thank you for it.
