Ah, but our American haikus are incorrect anyways. In Japanese it takes more syllables to say less, so they are actually quite a bit shorter. Some suggest that a correct English haiku would be 3, 5, and 3 syllables.

It's almost impossible to make conversational haikus in that format though. Although it does seem more poetic.

Shoddy work.

I paid way to much to have my garbage disposal fixed by Mike Diamond Plumbing. I turned my dishwasher on for the first time since then and it is leaking all over (I never use it, and had no reason to turn it on prior to today). The people at MIke Diamond are saying they can't come out here until tomorrow and I have to pay for the repairs.

Uh no. GRRR

ETA: I found the source of the leak. A hose was not connected properly.

I think you should make sure you let them know that you are telling everyone exactly what quality of service you received from them.

A true haiku also must mention a season.

Is it just a hose clamp that needs tightening? There's a hose that goes from the dishwasher to drain into the garbage disposal. Are you renting? If so, isn't this repair the landlords responsibility?

Yup. That hose was totally not connected.

Yup. But my landlord is a total flake and it took about a year to get my garbage disposal fixed. But rent is cheap and I can't afford to move (and it's in a nice area and is nice in comparsion to other places).
