Started a bathroom refurb this week, nice woman, 3 daughters, 4 cats, 2 dogs, birds, rabbits, ducks etc......

Put a dustsheet down on the bathroom floor for them on the 1st night after ripout, came in the next morning and one of the dogs had taken a fancy to it and taken a big old dump on it :yikes:
She wash and dried it so no harm done.

Working in there this afternoon, heard a weird squelching noise and then a smell that could only have come from the bowels of the devil himself, one of the cats had s%&t all over the landing!!
She came and cleaned it up but I had to leave the building for 10 mins!

A couple of hours later moggy came up for round 2.......

Its a jungle out there sometimes.....:thumbsdown:

I had a customer at the end of last year who made me an egg sandwich, as i was standing there happily choping away whilst talking to her i noticed that all the crusts had mould on them, now i'm not happy about that but i can live with a bit of mould but it did start me off paying closer attention to other stuff, and when i looked through her tea-bag stained crumb ridden sweaty work top i noticed the eggs were out of date by about a month. Told her i just had to pop upstairs for a mo and went and deposited the whole thing down the bog.

Filth!
 
Worked in a Mental hospital once with another tiler doing the toilets,the other tiler befriended one of the inmates ,we got him knocking up the muck ,he started to give biscuits to the other tiler every lunch time ,one day he came running in and said to the other tiler that the matron nearly caught him nicking the biscuits, but its ok I hid them where I always hide them in my underpants,my mates face was a picture :yikes:.
