Lost For Words!!!!

[Colour Republic]

I'm almost lost for words!!!!!


Last weekend I went to see a potential customer about some quartz worktops. She is buying the kitchen from Howdens but they wouldn't give her a plan so I said I can only do a rough price from the visuals she showed me. Been busy and as it's not an important one for me it has gone to the bottom of the pile and others have taken priority. Bit naughty but i've only got one pair of hands and s**t happens sometimes. Anyway she emails me and tries to call on Thursday. I don't respond but it does kick me up arse to try and get a price back to her. Friday was hectic so thought i'd do it over this weekend.

Today I receive this email...

Please can you reply to my emails/phone calls.

I am beginning to suspect that there is something suspicious about your company and I am tempted to go to the police

I can just imagine the phone call to the police

Customer: I'd like to report a fraudulent company please.
Police: Yes madam of course, fraud is a very serious crime.
Customer: I know and i'm very worried that others may get scammed
Police: I know it's distressing but if we can just take some details. How much money has this company taken from you?
Customer: Well nothing as yet
Police: Oh Ok, so they've asked for money then:
Customer: Well. no not that either.
Police: Oh so they've threatened you. Very nasty business
Customer: Not exactly
Police: Sorry madam what seems to be the problem then?
Customer: It's been over a week and they haven't got back to me with a price for the works I need doing
Police: *silence*

There really are some nutters out there!

right rob, here's how this ones going to pan out.
You'll be compelled to send a quote because you are a true pro and you like a challenge, she'll then be very apologetic and 'MUST HAVE' you to do the job now because the initial doubt has turned to overwhelming faith.

You'll start the job yeah? she'll then pull the microscopic scratch on the stainless steel hood and she wont be happy with the way one on the draws doesn't close at the same speed as the other 4.

At the end of the job, she'll use the famous words' I'm not very happy with the job' There'll be endless emails, she will claim you are the father of the baby she is now carrying, you'll deny it, you'll go to court and win and then you will both meet up in a bar in Brighton, get a room and end up both becoming admin on a new 'kitchen fitters forum' ...............And you'll both live happily ever after

err tell her to go and find self, quite literally ;0)
Klopper time

To be honest I'm thinking of handing myself in and making a full confession.

I'm still quite shocked by it. I woke up this morning and my first thought was "did she's really threaten to go to the police over a late quote? Really??

She seemed so normal as well! Bloody Bunny Boiler!

We've all had them! I had a woman burst into tears because she didn't like the colour of two tiles I'd laid the previous day (Welsh slate), they were a bit darker than the rest, I told her I'd change them and half an hour later they were replaced. She was an emotional mess every day for one reason or another, mainly about me not letting her cat escape! The cats name was Princess Delilah I think that tells you all you need to know!
