If there's one thing you can't accuse the Japanese people of being, it's lazy. They get things done.

Things that took less time than fixing @Morrus's gas leak:

The popularity of bellbottom trousers
The rise and fall of the Soviet Union
My dad setting up his new printer

Ugh. It took, and this is no joke, no less than 12 times for me to explain to my mother how to turn a computer on before she got it. And she took notes!

 

[Morrus]

I am home! I've never been so pleased to see this front door! (One of the dogs' sticks still propped up there from before we left--he always carries a stick home from a walk and we never let him bring it into the house).

 

[doghead]

Good to hear you are back home. And that no one nicked the dog stick.

thotd

 

[Sossij]

Heck yes.

 

[Thierry-Advent]

There and back again! Glad the fumes of Mordor no longer threaten your home.

 

[Clint_L]

I can only imagine your relief!

 

[Zaukrie]

Good luck! Happy for you.
