Customer "Can you give me a quote?"

[imago]

Me "Certainly. What do you need doing?"

Customer "A cooker point installed."

"OK. I'll drop by on my way home and have a look."

Arrive at customer's house to find that there is an empty room which will be the kitchen when its been installed.

"So, where abouts will the cooker be?"

"I don't know really, we're waiting on the kitchen designer to tell us."

"Hmm, OK. What type of oven and hob are you having fitted?"

"Gas."

"Extractor then?"

"No. I don't want one, I think they're ugly."

"Are you taking the ****?"

"What do you mean?"

"I'm an electrician, you need a gas fitter."

"But it's a cooker?"

"Gas?"

"Yes."

Tonight's conversation which lead me to believe there should be a compulsory IQ test for anyone intending to breed.

yeah well we`v just finished at some back to front gits house the other day....we didn`t know the cooker position until the last minute...so we ended up leaving a right old coil of cable for it.....ended loppin about 5 meters off it in the end......so we`v got a 5 meter end fit for nowt....just a waste of cable (and time)...there were other stuff there n all......but the customers always right...lol....

The customer is always right.

Misinformed, clueless, totally benighted.

BUT always right! (If the price is right).
