What gives you the raving hump?

[Pebbs]

I was just reading another thread on here, and I can imagine the customer hanging over the poor tiler doing the work. Ive seen it happens so many times on diff jobs, and it gives me the hump! The job is hard enough, without mr. bad breath, breathing on your neck.

The other thing that gives me the raving hump is when a Q.S. does a site visit, and starts questioning the fixing method and gets a spec out! No No No, you cant have a young lad tell a man of 60 how to do his job, its all wrong.

Am I alone............probably! :lol::lol:

Talking of QS's, I once claimed about 60 tonnes fabricated steelwork and the claim was rejected by the PQS. He then returned his valuation which on which he had subtracted the weight of the material missing from where holes hade been drilled and even calculated the subsequent difference in surface area and subtracted the painting for that area.

It didn't take long to sort out but it must have taken him hours to calculate it all and he wasn't even following the correct guidelines.

Lynn I know what you mean, I am going through a similar thing at the moment. I have a customer who has had a sow's ear turned into a silk purse, but is bitching about diiddley squat. I leave a job in the best condition humanly possible, it seems you can never please some people,. A little knowledge is very dangerous. This customer has picked on the wrong guy, at the wrong time. Watch THIS SPACE.:mad2:

Good timing Lynn with this thread.

I've had the right raving hump all day :incazzato:.

Initially, I got stuck in a 1.5 hour traffic jam on the way to work.
Then, my customer tells me she wants a horizontal border, so I says "I'll give you a shout once I've done the setting out so that you can confirm your approval of the border position". I call her to come and approve and she says "Can I show a picture where the border runs either side if the sink vanity unit?". Yep, that's correct she decided that she wants vertical borders either side of the vanity and over the bath :mad2::mad2:.

Then, when I put a straight edge on the "freshly" plastered walls I could get my fingers between the wall and straight edge in the hollows :incazzato::mad2:.

So today I've really got the hump with so called time served plasterers.

My oh my, you all grumpy tonight? Hey, it will get better, really really, life ain't so bad.... :daisy:

And another thing....someone on here pm'd me as he wanted a tiler to do a couple of rooms for him, he rang me and asked me if I could go round his house to have a look after 7pm, but I cant do that, Im not allowed to go to strange mens houses alone. Then he rang me and then told me he needed a plumber as well...(ok I got hold of a good plumber who works well with the tiler who would do it) So then he said can they come round after 7? because I dont get home till that time! so I emailed him at the weekend and said they will be there after 7...this afternoon he emailed me and said, I got to be out of the house by 7!, he sounds a nice enough guy but he's given me the hump now, if he cant even get his act together about what time to go look, then I havent got the patience to deal with it.
