Debra Hates Gianni | Everybody Loves Raymond

[@KennyG881]

This is why I often hesitate hiring friends. Knowing someone personally and knowing someone professionally are often two very different situations.

[@charlespeakjr2168]

The quickest way to lose a friend is to have them do work on your home.

[@emdee8840]

I have even tried getting referrals from friends on which professionals are reliable. Every time it has been a sucky experience. I don't ask for advice anymore. I wing it.

[@jennaramos1229]

i figured this out too late :/ recommended my friend to work with me after a coworker left and she was good at first then became so lazy and I picked up so much slack, but then I was being bossy asking her to help me more lol loved her as a person but we had very different work ethics. were not friends currently

[@ThePatriots010304]

As soon as Gianni brought in the new stove you could tell there's no way it was going to fit.

[@jonathancruz5932]

He didn't measure it first

Ray staring right into his eyes "put the stove in"

If I were him, I will tell him, “If you don’t put the stove in, I will find someone to put the stove in like they mean it.”

[@incarnateTheGreat]

You talk as if he isn't familiar with that scenario already.

[@jonathancruz5932]

I began to think Gianni don't have a local license to do the work. The new stove that he is setting did not fit. He didn't measure it first. He try to do the Robert and Amy's kitchen. He left the sink busted.

[@charlespeakjr2168]

Gianni claimed to be a licensed and bonded contractor, insisting that Frank was a "Home Depot Groupie." A true contractor would have focused on the job at hand, not take on multiple jobs by himself, like he did with Ray and Debra, as well as Robert and Amy, not to mention constantly bringing his portable TV to work EVERYDAY. You hit the point in an earlier post, Jonathan. He was Lazy.

[@jonathancruz5932]

@@charlespeakjr2168 And wasting time on his own

[@tomcameron1770]

This is one episode where Debra pissed me off. She thought it was a great idea to hire Giannie against Ray’s opinion, because she didn’t consider the risk of the tension that could come with hiring a friend to renovate, and do maintenance to your house, and when the issues started coming up, and she realised that it wasn’t working out with him, she told Ray that he had to fire him, because he was his friend, which showed her lack of regard for Ray’s friendship, so she didn’t care that he might’ve lost a friend that he had for years over her idea. And she used words like “I’m un-picking him” and “we have to let him go” to then say “you’re firing him because he’s your friend” she was so selfish in this episode.

[@YangBalanceYin]

Completely agreed.

[@matthewriley7826]

Yeah, Debra sometimes deserves the grief she gets from Rays family.

[@PrincessofAtl-v2r]

I agree, she’s very insufferable and annoying.

As incompetent and annoying as Gianni is with his work if it wasn’t for him, Ray and Debra might have never gotten together.

This is true.

[@22espec]

Is that really a plus?

[@loveforeignaccents]

I can't believe they are getting rid of their stove, but maybe it broke. I absolutely loved that old stove!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@charlespeakjr2168]

It came with the house. It's as old as Marie's and Frank's wedding vows.😂😂

[@zkarebear]

Him behaving that way is ridiculous, especially in an industry where you’re not paid by the hour but rather by the job.

[@mikep3813]

So it would be better that he is watching TV in their kitchen when hes supposed to be working if he's paid by the hour?

[@jonathancruz5932]

@@mikep3813 He's lazy

[@zkarebear]

@@mikep3813 better? No, but it would at least make sense, he’s running the clock. Run the clock, take longer, make more money. Slime ball logic but logic just the same. When you’re getting paid by the job the longer you take the less money you make, so if conceivably he’s a functioning adult and this is his livelihood he should be trying to accomplish the job sooner. Or if he’s waiting on parts to be over working on another job. I’m saying the storyline is a little bogus. That why you typically see contractors called out for shoddy work, cause they’re rushing to finish and get to the next job.

[@sws212]

When I am not styling women’s and men’s hair I am a landlord and I would never rent either of my properties to my friends. If they can’t pay rent to the point that I have to evict them that would ruin the friendship. Also confronting them about it would be hard because I would have to be a little less blunt than I would be with tenants I have a landlord tenant relationship with

Everything Debra say about Gianni is true. But her real problem with him is the bromance between him and Raymond. 😁😁

Yes, but she was the one who hired him, so now that she is the one who has to fire him and not Ray.

I had a situation like this. My dad hired some random guy to work on my sister car. And I had to pay for everyday the guy was here. I knew the guy was just killing time, everyone knew. But my dad didn’t want to be mean to the guy. I ended up overspending 500 dollars

[@12Blueace]

Debra was a bully. It’s easy for her to push Ray around because he’s weak and spineless, but she’s too scared to get her hands dirty with other people. Look at Rays family, she hates how they are and she always expects Ray to fight her battles.

[@DreamBelief]

She was about to fire him but Ray interrupted

[@beckybrynjolfsson]

She's afraid to fire him herself. She hired him, she should be the one to fire him.

[@Joe_Parmesan]

Yeah, that logic didn't make sense, but at least Debra was about to do the deed, before Ray flew down the stairs and interrupted.

You either haven't watched the show at all, or you are godamn delusional if you think Marie is helping her at all. I'd rather be around Frank than Marie any day if the week. I'd take someone that unbuckles thier pants on my couch and says funny shit than someone who constantly criticises on how someone should be raising their kids, how they should cook and how they should clean.

Who is Marie to tell someone how to raise their kids anyway. I'd rather pay a babysitter that just does their job and doesn't put their two cents in every time than a mother in law that makes my life hell every day.

If there is any lack of self esteem in deb it's because Marie is the cause of it. And it's sad because even if they weren't living across the street from them she'd still make the trip no matter how long to just barge in whenever she wants like she does every day. I mean for gods sake she's walked in on amy and robert having sex and labelling her as a slut just because she's doing it without marrying him. Not exactly those words but she's gone to that conclusion.
