Your message is spot on.
The nut cases in my area mess with contractors less than they do the other residents. Today, some of the wacked out supposed female were complaining about my security features. I had to call the cops to talk to the crazies.
The reality is, I am a combat medic, a combat engineer, a recon team lead, and a light infantry officer. I SHOULD be able to handle this stuff. It is a hassle and cuts into my personal time. On the other hand, I do like to hire people directly and take good care of them. It is hard to find good people. But, when you do, they are pure gold.
Let us not forget the following...
Proverbs 16:18 King James Version
Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.
Oh yeah, one of my degrees is from a religious institution. LOL!
