Mines is plastic gutters. Got 60 metres of the horrible stuff to do in a primary school this weekend.
 
Urinals!
 
Changing taps, especially bath taps where you have to wedge yourself between the khazi and the bath to get to them.
 
Filling in paper work. After finishing a long day on an install there's still the blooming paperwork and tidy up to do.
 
Urinals,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Anything to do with "changing taps" in the sentence is usually an absolute pig of a job too.
 
I only have two

1. getting up to go to work

2. answering the phone.
 
Macerators.

Only done one - if I ever have to do another it'll be the dearest job in the world...
 
hand balling a blocked drain, because the sump pump u supplied failed, in a night club, at 2am :'(
 
Well got those horrible black plastic gutters almost finished, hate the damn things. Fitting fascia brackets every 600mm has to be one of the most soul destroying jobs there is. Now for the horrible black plastic downpipes!
 
gas fires in junkies house . last one they were using as a normal fire throwing syringes and cigarrette ends on it . just pulled it out and put in bin .and cdi diverter valves cost almost as much in silicon grease as diverter.

Dealing with customers, who after you've wasted your time quoting for a supply and fit then say "well I can get it for such and such on the internet, why are you more expensive". They know the price of everything, but the value of nothing! grrr.
 
mine will be :

1. customers that do not care about there safety at home
2. customers that do not replay to quote mails
3. apprentice,labours who do not respect my tools/VAN (this annoys me the most out of everything)
4. customers that do not stop smoking all day long +there cats +there dogs (hair everywhere ......:( makes me sick )
I do not know how they are still alive some off them .
 
i hate the junkie brainless tenants that try and strike a convo up with me, im generally not interested at all but need to pretend that i give a poo, i hate any dirty jobs and when i say dirty i mean poo, i also hate mondays, and i hate any job that involves a customer watching you. I love scoofin but thats my favourite hobby
