Every. Single. Time.
either that or the install guy will scratch his head and say, "I've never seen anything like THAT before....I'll have to call in another guy."

when your plumbing was put in in 1957 it tends to confuse the regular plumbers and they have to call in the Olde Guye Who Knoweth These Things. And he's usually a grumpy old cuss who gets pissed off that he's been called in. All he wants to do is retire, but oh no, he has to show these young guys the way of the ancient order of plumbers. He hates it but he does it for the good of the guild.
