What really gets my goat !

[cowgomoo]

What gets my goat is going onto the " looking for a tiler " forum and taking a job with a Forums Arms member. 6 x 6 whites housing association stuff with a mist coat for primer and Nicobond as addy not much per meter and loads of sockets to cut around in kitchen blah blah blah. Do this nicely and get sent to the site from hell, nothing there - go back to previous for more but none there either ! Invoice in three weeks ago still not paid, not answering phone, not replying to texts, and he is still posting jobs available on the forum. I know times are tough but.......
I may not be that fast, I may not be the best fixer in the world but does anyone deserve this ?

Would you like to expand on this ?

 

[nybor62]

please tell us more,are you allowed to name him

 

[cowgomoo]

Hi y'all, theres not much more to tell. I am not one to go bleating on I was just wondering - what gets your goat ? Maybe I should have headed the thread that

 

[nybor62]

you have totally lost me

 

[mikethetile]

no you dont deserve to be treated like that, the least you are owed is an explanation along with your money

 

[kilty55]

urgh doesnt sound good,pm admin and make them aware of the situation

 

[Diamond Pool Finishers]

who is the member then ???

 

[Dan]

So the member has posted a job, the job's been done, and you've not been paid, is that right?

 

[cowgomoo]

Yes Dan, that is the bottom line. I didn't want to start a flipping witch hunt, I was just wondering what annoys people most. I will wait another while before, perhaps, naming and shaming but for all I know he may have gotten injured and in no position to respond. Anyhow I know where he lives and that avenue can be explored first of all.

 

[nybor62]

very diplomatic of you, nice 1

 

[Dan]

What gets my goat, is when members don't let us help fix what gets their goat. :lol: Give me a shout if you need a hand with that problem.

 

[johnryan]

just one question. do the goats have to wear ppe, and do they help with the groating?

 

[TilerJames]

Hope you get it sorted, nothing more frustrating than not been able to get money for work that you have done, its happened to all of us at some stage ( usually happens when your most depending on it. )
As to what gets on my wick....I used to hate snag lists on site jobs. Lugging all your gear from house to house to fix where the plumber has gone kango happy on the wall or floor tiles...always a great start to a Monday...
