The second episode of List-en up! is all about etiquette, and how being polite to the people you hire can make your life simpler. Though the highly rated contractors we spoke with have generally had good experiences with Angie’s List members, they do have some stories about rude, obnoxious customers who made life difficult. Peter Post (of the Emily Post Institute) and several service professionals offer some great tips about common courtesy and how it can ensure a great experience, whether you’re hiring a painter, mechanic, or handyman.
