it has not happened to me yet !, but when working for my old boss, we returned back to his house to pick some parts up out of his garage,his next door neighbours had only gone and got another plumber to refit there bathroom, my boss's face was a picture defo annoyed, i thought it was quite funny but wondered what i would have felt like if it happened to me
 
Coffee granules in the sugar. Usually in places where there's a lot of mouse traps around. Strange coincidence that :skep:
 
Plumbing gets my goat especially anything bathroom related e'g shower screens !!!
 
Next doors Lion............. :) :) :)



I won't work in my street. Too handy for all those little bits and pieces 'while your here'. Next door neighbour caught me at half seven the other morning with a leaking toilet, torbeck valve passing, just needed a new diaphragm, 'sorry don't have one, that many different types, don't carry them all'. 6 months previous he had a full heating system installed. Think it was the same bloke that complained to the council that I was running a business from home.
 
The custard turning the tap off when I'm gas rating!!! Or the cooker on when I'm tightness testing! grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!:73:
 
Stop taps that don't quite shut off combined with a cust that doesn't listen when working upstairs. 'I've left the kitchen tap open because your stop tap doesn't isolate 100%', then ten minutes later getting wet because 'somebody' turned the tap off.
 
Working on an outdoor combi in a force 10 gale at -2 and the cust is stood next to you with a nice warm cup of tea and never offered.........

Don't mention shower screens to me, my two (not paid for) empty tile adhesive tubs are now full of a 2000 x 500 x 10mm wet room screen that blew up in my hands. Grrrrrrrrr
 
I can't stand that. How can you stop them. I'd love to know. Times like that I wish I had no inhibitions about farting

Ask em for a cup of tea every 10 minutes, after the second cup they'll disappear. :)
 
Unless the top is loose fitting! :cool4:

I always ware loose tops,better for working in,maybe thats why some customers stand over me,to try to get a glance of me man boobs

:skep:

what get's my goat is very little,many find this very annoying in it's self,however with age comes less tolarance of others stupidity ,my own is still ok though !!

I do hate redoing work when a customers says,actually think I would like basin 40mm to the right or think now rad would look better on that wall !!:hammer:

Getting to a job only to be faced with a customer who knows "exactly what is wrong" and "how much the job will cost" coz they've been online to some obscure plumming forum talking with 'Diamondgeeza' or 'mrknowitall'....! lol
