After changing a door seal or something non-mechanical
customer will randomly say – oh it seems a lot quieter now

When you have to order a part they say “how long will it be?” I could never resist striking my fisherman’s pose.:cool:

You start up the dishwasher after fixing the internal leak and they say “That’s a marvellous sound – haven’t heard that in a while, you are a genius” and you say, “That’s just the initial drain out – it was stuck on that permanently before, we’ll have to wait a few more minutes to check everything is working as it should”

fit a heater to a dryer – and they say oh it’s a lot quieter now

When they say “is that all it was” or “that was quick” … them 2 tend to trigger me

Had that a few times, they think you can keep it all lol

After changing the water softener o-rings on a Smeg dishwasher – time consuming due to challenging installation – from memory total bill £68: “That’s an expensive pair of o-rings”

chaps customer door – customer answers and says i hope you don’t mind cats, I’m like no I don’t mind them

2 steps in the smell hit me like a ton of bricks, cat litter boxes all over the house – full of cats poo/pee

the guy is about 30 years old and more than able to deal with the litter, but 1 look around the house gave me my answer

anyway, the oven needed an element quick fix – thank eff for that

so getting to the things they say —– when I was testing the oven he pipes up —ohh is that the new element I’m smelling —- Im like WTF

i felt like answering i can’t smell anything as my senses have been mugged by your cats pee , but being the professional i am? –
i said ohh yes that’s what the smell is

Been in a few houses like that. went in one where the dogs pee on the floor and the small of ammonia was over powering. luckily as you said the job was quick. While I was there he was complaining that a boiler engineer had not done a good job because the boiler was leaking. I kept quiet as i knew the engineer had probably rushed the job to escape the smell

always amazes me that they don’t seem to realize they are living in a mess /smell, i guess they get used it until it becomes their norm

ah well hope i don’t get anymore for a while – got a feeling i just jinxed myself lol
