Re: Might apply to my business

well ive been meaning to do this for years and i dont know if it was because i was feeling like shhtt yesterday with the cold …but

i finally snapped … i had 2 watchers mother/daughter combo both with folded arms watching me fit a new oven and grill seal to the worst cooker ever – park cowan where you need to feed the seal into the cavity …..ahhhhh,

they were not the politest of people possibly due to the fact that we wouldnt roll over and give them a specific time , so the call had been rescheduled various times .

after about 10 minutes of them burning a hole in the back of my head i had to ask them if they could stop hovering over the top of me ..i kinda copped out by saying i have really bad cold and they will catch it .

they duly stomped off into the next room – muttering something about me – i cant imagine what it would be

what i wanted to do was to stand up and smack em – tell them go take a flying …f to them selves – have they nothing better in their lives but to annoy me.

is it just me getting old and crabit , was because i have the cold and everything has felt like climbing Everest.

or was it after years of these idiot customers who have no clue how to treat a great engineer ( me ) lol i finally snapped .

all i can say is it felt great. – does this mean any future watchers will get both barbells – who knows.

Re: Might apply to my business

Its as annoying as the peopl9e with there cupboards full of s88t and they say sorry l didn’t think you needed to get in there.

Its not your age, society longer needs to think. The internet, tv, news, adverts all geared up to tell us what we need.

Schools don’t teach subjects leaving students to think of the answers in an exam using the knowledge of the subject. Instead the students are learning to pass the exam. All thanks to league tables.

Same in our industry. You get a group of school levers together and teach them the science of how a dishwasher works and then give an example of a fault and ask for possible causes and most of the time you get a blank expression. You have to physically show them a blocked pump. Even if you placed 10 different makes of appliance and asked each to remove a blockage they struggle to work out how to remove it. Show them how each one is accessed, no issue usually. But unfamilar appliances a look of doom usually appears.

To get back on topic. No its not your age or the man flu, people don’t think there irritating you or how they would feel if roles where reversed. They have been conditioned to watch you with suspicion.

Thanks society.

I had a great one the other week ,jockey wheels for a candy condenser dryer to change 😈 in a small room next to a full on radiator .wife keeps calling in to annoy me about the time,because she’s got to go out,

she then gets the hubby to come home,
He then makes Him self a cup of tea and comes in to me ,starts to dunk his biscuit in to his tea ready to watch the live show,”how’s it going mate” me ….thinks fu@k off… !. But I filtered out as fine thanks
I will come and get you when I’ve Finnish thanks, see you soon.

You are not alone .this is the new way of life.

Re: Might apply to my business

its funny because some people you dont mind have a bit of a chit chat ect , and when they say to you i hope you dont mind me watching and say yeh no probs …

then others who just annoy the shi”””t out of you as soon as you step in their house – i think its a chemistry thing. kinda like when you take an instant dislike to someone ?.

ive had my fair share of nosey busy bodys and usualy turn them in to helpers , they soon get the hint when i strategicaly place a row of stanley blades and varios sharp tools in a semi circle around my space.

but the 2 the other day were pushing all the buttons ..

This scenario is a particular problem at this time of year I find,and Mrs Madmac wonders why I leave the house in a T shirt when its 2 degrees c. :rolls:

Jammed in a tiny utility room losing a liter of sweat a minute really isnt my idea of fun.
I just crank the rad down to zero and try to remember to restore it before I leave…not always successfully :innocent:

The fully charged night storage heater is an enemy thats not quite so easy to deal with unfortunately 🙁

At a regular customer a few weeks back, not sure if I should have offered a 10{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} reduction or add 10{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} for making me fat.

Re: Might apply to my business

Can’t remember TBH, but as ALDI minced pies beat Fortnum & Masons in a recent blind testing then who cares.
