I had one of these where they were leaving in a panic because an 
F-16 had just moments before, hit their daughter's house, and they 
were rushing to... I can't imagine what. I offered to come back 
another time, but she insisted I go on in and tune the piano, and 
asked me to lock up on the way out.

It's a pretty broad spectrum. Some days you win, and some days you 
don't even get to play.
