[parker56]

People who lie just to cover there own backside & try to drop someone else in the crap.(GOOD JOB I TAKE LOTS OF PHOTOS).LOL

Doing fault finding when you have asked all the right questions only to find out later the householder had had a go himself but was to embarrassed to tell you. Mind you at least they have to pay for 3 hours instead of 1.

Once found a handyman fixing a big brass plaque to a beautifully finished red brick wall with what he thought was adhesive. Turned out to be expanding foam...all over the wall...and still carried on, expecting it to stick. More than a pet hate for him, methinks.

I've been to a job this morning and found another.........Customer called and said that the RCBO for the lighting in the garage kept tripping, went to investigate and found that i couldn't remove the screws on the metal-clad switch, customer then popped his head round and said "you wont get that open....i've put thread-lock on the screws"....."why" i said......"cause you never know" he replied

When I read this, I could just picture the customer as one of those Harry Enfield characters (Only Me)

Working with sparkies who think experience is everything; missing the point that you want both skill and experience. If you have done something wrong for 15 years, you just got really good at doing it wrong!

eg A spark who doesn't do the cable calc for a factory install, and gets it wrong. Then when I explain why it is not compliant and suggest how to fix it (change breaker as Zs was out). I get a -------ing from him, his approach is to change the Zs on the test form. His line was "This is how experienced electricians do it"
He even made ME sign it off. So I did, with his name.

We had an insurance spot check a few months later, oh how I laughed when it was picked up!

I should probably get over that, but really "£$%!ed me off.

 

[SparkyDips]

screwfix!! nothing ever in stock, complete waste of space!!

 

[SparkyDips]

got called to a rental property whose landlord said that some of the downstairs lights aren't working. got round there and asked lots of questions, any DIY or other trades been in etc no nothing they said. having investigated the lighting ring found that the loop link was missing between 2 of the points, wtf??? landlord said customer hasn't paid rent for 2 months cos no lights.

guess people will do anything to get out of paying.

 

[markc123]

The fact the lighting was in a ring woulda alarmed me before the link to be fair

 

[SparkyDips]

lol ok didnt mean ring, lighting circuit.

one too many wines

[Jonny66]

What I really hate though is, why so many things are made so that you need an assortment of about 15 different types of screw driver with both slotted, posi, philips heads and probably hex heads and f knows what else including alen keys just to terminate one cable..usually Chinese......although you've gotta love those Chinese babes......especially the ones without teeth..weird...and of course Tel how would they eat without teeth? soup?

Your right, if you mean they tend not to drive at break fast speed, cutting every other driver on the road up doing so!! It's called Maturity!! lol!!

except when the buggers drive at 25mph in a 40 limit and it's too narrow and bendy a road to overtake.

 

[plugsandsparks]

Just about had my fill of fog lights. Front fogs just do my head in. Why use them, they make no difference when you are above 20mph. As for rear fogs, well that's just stupid.
Of course no fog around but in rain, well its dangerous.

Nutters.....argh

No you getting old men and middle aged men mixed. I mean the ones that do 70mph in every lane dabbing the breaks on about every 10 secs.

that's usually sales reps in suits. a meerkat would make a better driver. then again, a meerkat would probably be a better person than a sales rep.

 

[Garythenab]
