I once had someone tell me “I don’t care where water comes from as long as it comes out of that faucet when I turn it on.”
I know of nothing taken for granted more than water — that is until it doesn’t come out of the faucet. Back in my younger days of self-employment and running service calls in Arkansas, occasionally we would have a hard freeze. This resulted in thousands of people without water. Whenever this happened, I would have a few people demand immediate service regardless of the cost even though their water might and frequently thawed the following day.
