Youtube is a wonderful thing! I've introduced the ability to find "how to" videos on there to several people. Hell one day I came home and the wife had the washer pulled away from the wall because the pump had quit. She was sitting back there with a laptop, some basic tools and a new pump just going in. Damn I love that woman!!
Plenty of people think that way until they find out how much it costs. On the other hand, there are situations where the statement is true as well.
My dad back in the day worked for Sams publishing in the Photofact division. They were the guys that would tear down perfectly good TVs and other electronics and take readings for writing repair manuals. They had a funny, less dangerous prank they'd pull on each other. They sat on rolling stools at their workbenches. If a guy was working inside a high voltage cabinet like a TV they would sneak up behind him and quietly put a square of bubble wrap on the floor behind him. The next time he would roll away from his bench he would hear what sounded like a bunch of high voltage arcs. That tended to get the guy to un-ass the area VERY quickly.
