The phone repair guy in Boise who refused to let me pay him

Back in March, my tablet's screen went black after a splash of coffee, and this old shop owner fixed it in 20 minutes with a hair dryer and a suction cup, then just said 'tell someone else how dumb that fix was' instead of taking my $60, so has anyone else gotten a repair so janky it needed zero parts?

Old laptop hinge cracked clean off once, and a guy at a flea market glued it back with epoxy and a zip tie. Charged me five bucks for the zip tie, said the glue was from his garage. Thing lasted another two years until the motherboard finally gave up. Sometimes the jankiest fixes are the best ones.
