How do you spot time wasters?

Yeah agreed. I did a job for a couple of university professors. Just ignored the fact that their bathroom floor was rotten because of a leaking shower called me in to fix shower but couldn't understand why I said they'd need to replace the floor too. Thought I was trying to fleece them

Should have been tested for dry rot they will soon be back to you if they have a future probe

Sometimes that is the crux of the matter, what is the bleeding obvious to us is rocket science to customers, at end of the day it's each to their own.

You are right but I was talking them through it on the phone to mitigate damage as they were 45 mins away. Don't think they even knew which end of the screwdriver to use

I always tell my customers how to isolate the water supply and different valves and how to close and open the stop tap,
They all seem really impressed that I go to the effort of telling them but it more likely just goes in one ear and out the other

I did a Landlords certificate for my sister, who unlike me has degrees and lots of posh qualifications.
When I told her how much I usually get for them, she said 'it's money for old rope'

My own flesh and blood!
