**** Tax

[WaterTight]

That's what I write in the column of my notes for quotes if the person is a ****. It reminds me to add on x amount to quote to recompense me for the ball-ache of suffering their antics.

This morning I met a woman who responded to my suggestion she consider new taps as if I suggested she hand over her life savings or suffer a beating. Head in hands, shaking her head, questions implying I was attempting to defraud her, the works. Not in fear over short funds but rather shock at the levels some tradesmen would sink to steal from people.

After the third or forth time of my saying, "I've got to go, have a think and let me know if you want to," whilst edging ever closer to the door (foremost amongst the practised techniques of the hard-selling salesman) she decided she would graciously consent to receiving a quote.

This one is liable for **** tax; ****** duties; *** levies and ****ing 36 monthly installments of *** **** **** *** ***** payments.

I've just had an old boy on who's messed his timer up with the change. Told him £35, fair I think. If I'd have fitted the boiler it would be a different matter , I owe this guy nothing and told him to shop round

Reminds me of an insurance customer when I worked for someone, it was a rare, old boiler. I'd phoned up from site to order parts for it and was told by the guy at the suppliers that a lot of parts were now obsolete for this model.

I relayed this to the customer along the lines of "Apparently a lot of parts on this boiler are obsolete, you may want to start thinking about replacing it next time it breaks down"....

He looked at me like he'd just caught me hanging out the back of his Wife! he got very hostile and said "Nah, I'm not buying that mate!"......."I'm just telling you what I was told" I replied......

I condemned it the next time I visited, the insulation panels had fallen on to the burner, the combustion chamber overheated and melted a rubber grommet. The insulation panels were obsolete! I felt a level of smugness I'd never experienced before!!

Another person who needs a **** tax is people who fit loft ladders put dont bother with drop down hatches so you need the steps to move the hatch so why bother with a loft ladder :32:

 

[R1CKY]

Ahh, the joys of being 6ft3, I can open most loft hatches and pull down ladders by standing on my tippy-toes!

 

[Destroyer2813]

Me too when they got a drop down hatch, by the time they"ve been and got the pole ive got the ladder down already
