Well, sit back and grab your popcorn for this one... Larry Hempen from Hempen's Honey Do's came to our condo building, and as the president of the HOA I just happened to be out in the parking area when he parked there, using two spaces, and I was extremely friendly and let him know that if he came back to do work he'd have to park on the street, as is the rule for all contractors. He became immediately rude and threatening (see other reviews here) and was cursing, calling names, etc... in a manner that was actually frightening.
About 45 minutes later, he exited the building while I was in the lobby with our maintenance engineer and front desk concierge. If you watch this security camera video/audio, you'll know exactly how this person operates as a human being, towards other human beings. Note how he gestures to our maintenance engineer to move and just yells "MOVE!", not even saying "excuse me"... then all three of us said "Have a Nice Day" at the same time, in the same manner, not being sarcastic whatsoever. I believe in taking the high road, no matter what other people try to do to me because I'm a minority... I just won't lower myself to other people as it doesn't do any good... so watch this Nest Video Clip and see if this is the type of person you want to deal with...

The interesting part about this is that if someone does excellent work, has a great positive and polite attitude, and calm demeanor then I'd likely hire them on the spot for many, many jobs as I hold about $30MM in real estate, with hotels, condos, homes, and land throughout Arizona. You just never know who you're talking to.
I only hope that he starts to see and listen to himself, and understand that this is going to give him a heart attack, and that it's also going to take him all the way to the poor house in today's world of social media. read more
