[TaffyDuck]

Aplogies if this thread has been done before.

When you go to a job what are your pet hates that you find a previous sparks has done? :banghead:

 

[Octopus]

I really don't like the blokes who use VIR - would somebody please stop selling it!

 

[lockhes]

Twisted cables usually earths or all the earths in 1 sleeve

 

[chronyx]

lockhes - yes! Total pain in the arse.

 

[gaz2212]

whats a VIR???

 

[sparky1502]

no board layout or unidentified circuits doubled up are a total pain !!

 

[DurhamSparky]

not doing the job properly!!!

 

[DNS1]

People who cut the cable so short that it's practically impossible to replace a socket or switch...

 

[telectrix]

imbeciles that cut cpc's off=== because they don't do anything, do they.

plumbers, builders, kitchen fitters that think they can install electrical circuits.

 

[Mark_Burgess]

More a case of what they have not done, like label the distribution board.

 

[nickblake]

I thought they were just there as a cheesewire?

 

[Knobhead]

Incorrect identification. Need I say more.

 

[telectrix]

customers who say " it's worked fine for 20 years, why can;t you get that trippy thingy working now?"

 

[Andy 7671]

Simple one for me, those that cant cut cable ties or basket flush, yeah cheers for that, slash my arm why dont you.

-Finding Parking spaces when working in old housing areas or general urban areas with nowhere to park, I'm much happier parking my wagon at a 45° angle up a muddy bank.
-Practically new installations missing bonding, unidentified circuits, fire alarm mixed with light circuits, general bad practise....
-Loft insulation

 

[SparkyDips]

cables pulled tight/left short making wiring impossible ie.fused spur(load)side, no circuit identification on dis.boards, cross threaded plate screws, plasterers filling boxes with plaster, ceiling grid guys leaving support wires half twisted ready to poke yr eye out, basically all other trades on site and Edmundson f###### Electrical they never have anything in stock FFS, if i want to be let down i would have gone to screwfix!!!!!!!!......................ok deep breaths.

:devilish:

parking your van out of the way so you are not asked to move it and half way through the day someone says"can you move your van?"
