Gas Engineer

Had an emergency call today pressure problems. When I got there the engineer was waiting for me and told me it was low.
I checked the service and at the outlet and was sat there happily at 21mb.
I showed the engineer who then shouted at me and said so why isn’t this boiler working as it should. My reply was well I’m not here to fix boilers I’m here to fix pressure but it sounds like the gas valve needs a tweak.
It turns out he fitted a new gas valve out of the box and did know how to set it up. It also turns out that he was nt gas safe engineer but the bloke who ran the company was.
In the end I had to cap the customer off because the engineer threw a load of abuse at me and walked off. Calling me a lazy arrogant ****, while I’ll agree about the lazy bit as I’m over 50 and slowing down I can’t understand the rest. I just wanted a competent engineer to attend so I could leave the customer on.
I’d love to know what I did to deserve that
