Contractor Smashes Bathroom With Sledgehammer Over Payment

A contractor with a sledge hammer makes an obscene gesture at a home surveillance camera, and then goes in to demolish the bathroom he just renovated. The contractor claims he’s owed money, so he’s going to destroy what he built. The owner wasn’t home, but a neighbor pleaded with him to stop. “This is my property. I have receipts for everything,” the contractor replies. Homeowner Amber Trucke told Inside Edition she was horrified when she came home to find the bathroom trashed.

Contractors don’t offer payment plans. You pay half upfront, and the rest once the work is done. And I’m offended that a woman used the “ Single mom card” there’s lots of single moms who pay their contractors on time

[savageone]

“As a single woman” so you’re not supposed to pay if you’re single or a woman. With her attitude, I seem to side up with the contractor

[SKGrenkow]

Of course she said “I’m a single woman”
I can’t believe 3 contractors offered to fix that for her for free, is clear to me she simply didn’t pay what she should’ve, she don’t deserve a free renovation for that.

[iwojtor]

Straight away she pulls “single women with an angry man in your house” card

[ralffe]

Moral of the story: Always make sure there is a contract

[RdAudi]

Just because your a single woman doesn’t mean you can’t pay. You have to pay for what you want nothing is free you tried to play it free

I like that she immediately went for "I'm a single women horrified to see a man destroy my newly renovated bathroom" like really?

[yellowtardbot]

The fact that 3 contractors offered her to fix it for

*I've lost faith in humanity*

[danielalonso]

We’re so focused on him “breaking” his property, but why not shine the light to the actual match to this fire? Why not pay?

[blazability]

"as a single women" and this is why REAL womens out there will never get true equality. It's people like this.

[Daddywarbuck]

I love how the narrative was built as single woman and big scary guy destroying her property. And why would a bathroom that ugly take weeks to remodel?

[blazinpyromaniac]

Terrible bias from Inside Edition. This woman was clearly in the wrong and she didn’t give a good enough excuse to why she didn’t pay up

[ericsmith]

The fact she’s pulling the single women card. When you get an estimate that’s how much you pay when the jobs done.

[quadirbrown]

She said she paid him 3, 000$ of a 7500$ bill. So she didn't pay him and why not just get a contractor closer to your budget?

[coolguy]

Don’t use the “I’m a single woman” card. He did the job and you’re suppose to pay him for the hard work he did.

[millionthousand]

As a girl don’t pull out “I’m a single women” he worked hard and if she did work for someone but if they didn’t say thank you or if they don’t do anything nice I bet she would be mad. As a girl I am disappointed of her trying to use our gender as an excuse.

[LGTena]

Love how they just sweep the fact that she didn't pay under the rug. That guy's anger is completely justified.

[LawsonPatterson]

Can you imagine the “single moms” reaction if her employer told her, “We paid you $3500 of the $7500 you’re owed and you’ll get the rest?

[fengxiong]

If he's saying that "his" property, that obviously means the entire project cost way over $3000 and most of the material came out if his pocket to finish. Was she just expecting him to do her bathroom and have him pay for it?

[kennygee]

Straight to “single mother “🤬 And as for those three contractors who’ve offered to do it for free, “SHAME ON YOU “. Traitors to their trade. Women like these need to be taught a painful lesson.
