Talking about customers who are not so "hospitable" -
Did a job end of Nov last year - barn in the middle of nowhere, 15 mins drive from nearest shops. Was a kitchen floor, job had run over because of Kitchen companyand customer - ( moving island unit in middle of job ). Got to Friday and customer had visitors coming next day. I arrived at 07:30 am - said I would stay to finish & grout. Still there at 8:30pm - told customer I was going out for sandwich. When I got back, 15 mins later they had chinese takeaway delivered :icon8: F***IN SELFISH C***

Anyway, I stayed till 10pm to finish, but never again. They could at least offered, I would have paid for my own. :icon8:

Eeeeeeeee this is serious lads, people still able to get the cash together to pay for a tiler and spend days watching Jeremy Kyle. Whats going on in the world, its not as if were cheap, support dole must be good these days!

Probably not as nasty as some of the other posts on here but I did an old guys shower n sink last week, poor guy just lost his wife a few months ago. Obviously old school and never done a days spring cleaning before. His bathroom was minging. Anyway, the bog was filthy especially aroung the bots so afetr finishing up I decided to give the place a good going over. Not sure how someone misses the toilet with thier arse but there you go. Was pretty nasty but made me feel better, left the place gleaming in a state his missus would have been proud of. Hope this isn't a soft side I'm gunna lose money on in future but you gotta be soft and helpful to the people you can see are genuinely in a bit of a state. Karma, lads n lasses, it'll reward you in the long run.
