Went to the home of Mr & Mrs Filthy-Dirty this morning. You know the kind of place when the smell hits you when she opens the door 😯
When I dodged through the hazards on my way into ‘the kitchen’ – yuck! Stuck over in the corner under heaps of sh*te was the Whirpool AWZ210. The ‘complaint’ was overheating, I soon found the fault, the vent hose was not fitted and I fished out of the exhaust housing underneath 20 or so rotten new potatoes, 6 tesco bags and a dead rat 🙁
Got paid then dashed home and took a shower and change of clothes 🙂 Who knows what this afternoon will bring…….. 😕

Up here it’s called “Wiping your feet on the way out”.
Did the last call this evening by the market car park, came out of the flats to find a drunk relieving himself on the side of my (new) van. Absolutely disgusting and not a copper in sight, despite the police station being 50 yards away.
So a bit late back tonight through having to wash the van.
Keep smiling,

I wonder if the rat died from from the smell. We all get some of these from time to time, we should make a supplementary charge on the service fee.
We are working on a symbol of a gibbet, with a corpse hanging from it,
to put in the “opinion field” on the customer’s record in the database.Shane.
We use “NFS” – No Further Service – on our records. And yes, customers do get upset about it!

Re: A rare t/dryer fault indeed?
I will never forget a Mastercare job I once had on a servis washer ,I knocked on the door for it to be opened by a little girl of about 4 yrs old .She points to the door at the end of the hall ,Where I am confronted by the mother breastfeeeding a babe ,She says the F****n things out there pointing to a bathroom ,In the corner was a pile of dirty laundry underneath which was the washing machine ,The killer was she REFUSED 😯 to move all the laundry as and I quote “are you F****n blind I’m Busy “I told her her policy covered most things but certainly not sifting through her dirty smalls ,Walked out rang Nottingham and refused to darken her door again
I still shudder when I think of that job

Know exactly what you mean….
I think the worst I ever went to was in my long time ago Creda days; went to awful house in Chapeltown, walk down the hall with shoes going Slap Stick Rip, thinking “Oh God…….” Anyway, 3 month old 17 series machine covered in grease sat next to cooker – dead. Dragged it out, took the lid off – rat across the mains terminal block – also dead. I said “Get rid of the rat and I’ll get it working”. I did, and made it very clear that I wouldn’t return to the address on the paperwork (It was still an option in the pre-Hotpoint days).
The disturbing thing was that the lady of the house never turned a hair!
Awful, awful, awful.
Regards,
Chris the Penguin.
