funny things that your customer says

[White Room]

Bit like the site boss who expected me to grout 40 linear meters 7 meter high walls in half an hour, bcoz he wanted the scaffold removed. I asked him if he thought I was a magician or something, and he just shrugged and said "be done in half an hour". I laughed and said "I think I just saw a flock of pigs fly past the windows! No wait, I clearly didn't, because that's impossible." He just stared me and left. Half an hour later, he returned with the lads who were going to remove the scaffold and started yelling at me because I wasn't done, so I simply said "you're clearly insane and retarded, so I'll explain this slowly: I'm walking right now unless you leave me to do my work in peace". He actually left me alone.

I was a bit surpriced at myself when I said that, but then again, I was profoundly annoyed

Another one at J &N's, was working away, maintenance man popped in to say hello,olive skinned mediterranean looking chap, blinged up to eyeballs,"so what's your name?" I asked, "Amron" he replied. After a few days of general chit chat I asked Amron how long he'd been in this country 'cos he had a very strong Bolton accent."I've always lived here",he replied, "why?"
Not wanting to appear racist or anything I replied "It's a strange name is Amron, I've never heard it before"
"My name is Ron" he said, "not Amron, that you've been calling me!"
I'd not heard properly on first encounter he'd said "I'm Ron" and not "Amron"
Needless to say I felt a bit daft :stupid:

Doug

It's a bit like a neighbour of mine. I went over to introduce myself to him. He was a londoner with tattoos etc. He came from a colourful background to say the least, but seemed a likeable chap.

I asked him his name, to which he replied Er.. Mick. I just thought it was a gypsy name or smething.

Anyway, my daughter was looking for me and found me talking to him. Being old fashioned I often introduce people, so I Introduced them to each other, My neighbour was introduced as Ermick!

Or the chippys who say "nah, the tiler'll fill that lil' hole with some addy" and the "lil' hole" has a diameter of 10cm. And it's in plasterboard. On studs.
