when the love slave TXT`S and says he/she isnt coming in today and you ring straight back and there phones off, i always follow with a reply text ok nice knowing you good luck.

Going to fix a leak under a sink and they know you'e coming yet don't clear out rubbish
Or leave urines and pubes around the w/c, again, when they know you're coming. Have some shame, man/*woman.

Give me the former over the latter anytime.
*Me being PC.

Different staff at the merchants charging different prices for the same thing within a few days of buying them.

Customers' "helpful" comments before I've finished a particular part of the job (e.g. tile not straight before I've finished setting it or slightly crooked pipes before I've soldered).

Customers insisting I stay and work clean and tidily then sweep up without moving or closing my toolbox.

Customers who see me arrive then spend 2-3 minutes answering the door.

Customers borrowing my tools then not putting them back when they've finished with them.

Customers who ask how much the bill is before I've finished working or who insist on chatting for 1/2 hour after paying.

I feel there's a theme building here ...

It irks me that customers ask me in the first place. They're not communal tools, they're mine and they're not for hire.

What about when you just start a job in an old birds bathroom and 5 minutes into the job she needs to use the bathroom so you pop to the van and when you get back in there the bottom of the pan looks like the starting grid at Silverstone and you have to break your own nose with the lump hammer just so you can finish the job cos of the stench!

That awkward moment when your talking to a customer and a small bit of spit flys out of their mouth and lands on your face.

Had this happen yesterday it landing right on my lip - didn't know weather to wipe it off or just lick it off
