Yes, Susan, we do. Me. What a load of complete horseshit!
If you are worth two cents, you do your job properly. The code is meant as a minimum to ensure public safety. The only reason for not meeting MINIMUM codes is that you can't do your job as good as the next guy, so, you cut corners to try to compete.
The code is the code. How can an inspector be a prick or an idiot for enforcing the code? It is a WRITTEN LAW. If you can read, you can follow the code. If not, perhaps you should check out other employ.
I have well over $200M of construction design and inspection under my belt. And I have NEVER disregarded the code.
Oh, yeah, BTW, I have caught MANY contractors cutting corners and I cut them off at the knees. Safety is safety.
