Weird Call Out

[pierrot]

No hot water no heating in Lytham st Annes during open golf last year, so spent an hour in van to go about a mile and a half, arrived to find boiler turned off at fused spur.
It took me another hour and a half to get back to normality.

I've been called out to look at a combi boiler which looked suspiciously like a hot water cylinder in an airing cupbard.

Been there done that🙂

Do you ever ask what boiler they have and the reply is "A White one in the kitchen"
I always reply with "I know the one"

 

[Derek Hardman]

Call out to a radiator 'Beeping', of course it was the low battery indicator on the smoke alarm. And a call at 11.30pm on a Saturday, could i go and fix her cooker NOW please?

Customers are brilliant aren't they 🙂

Ive been taken to the airing cupboard a fair few times to be shown the "boiler"

And Vaillant's are usually 'Valiant's'.

Lol have had so many think their cylinder is a Combi boiler

You should tell those customers that their problems are due to accumulation of Dihydrogen monoxide

Got a call to remove a ladies knickers!
Did it for free, (as you would!)
Fancy black skimpy pair that had got stuck through a hole in her washing machine drum, as a plastic paddle had broke off.
Girlfriend wasn't too pleased when I told her.:smile:

Or combo boilers as they tend to call them round my way :-!

I've seen people throwing scrap paper onto DFE fires before claiming it's a real fire.

When I explain to ppl that I can do their boiler service if I bring my gas safe engineer with me

Customer ; but is he corgi
Me; no it's gas safe now
Customer; but is he corgi
Me; he's not a dog

I still occasionally hear people (other tradesmen) mention ACOPS.

 

[Dannypipe]

Got asked if I was a Corgi today. Last job of the day. I just barked at her. :smile:

Not really I was as polite as ever and educated her. She didn't ask to see any ID though, so I could have just been talking BS.

this happens to me everyday.

Just goes to prove how poor a job gas safe have made of their attempt to be our governors.
