Another today, “you’re the engineer so you can fix it yes. My husband is an engineer with a degree but he buggers it up each time”. Ring a bell with anyone!!!!!! Oh yes it was fixed and with a guarantee.

Re: THE THINGS CUSTOMERS SAY ?

Went to a call out a few years ago when I worked for Hoover. Old guy with brand new washer.

“So what seems to be the problem?” says me innocently

“Well I put it on a boil wash and the drum turned clockwise 74 times and anticlockwise 75 times. Shouldn’t it be the same for both?

Why is it when you go a house that is a right sh** hole dthe customers always say either…
“excuse the mess were in the middle of decorating” or “we’ve just moved in?”

Once went to a very posh house. Customer was having morning coffee with her friends in the sitting room. Im in kitchen on floor unblocking the pump only to find to my horror it is jammed up by a condom. So do walk calmly into sitting room waving it and say I’ve found the problem? Or do I be discreet and say it was an elastic band and have thrown it in the bin?
Answers on a postcard please.

How many of us have been to a house where its an elderly couple and she’s gone out and left him waiting for us to arrive and fix washer. He hasnt a clue how about whats wrong so she has left a very detailed note describing the problem?

It is when the old man says “I dunno what’s wrong, It’s the wife’s machine” Bet he bought her an iron for Christmas.

Another is when they leave teenage kids in charge.

No 1 You have to get them out of bed.

No2 They attempt to lead you to the machine. Aware it is in the back of the house somewhere.

No3 They’ve found the machine, but didn’t know there was anything wrong at all, let alone what.

Had exactly these excuses today when I went to a big dual fuel stainless steel range cooker. There was at least an inch of debris in the bottom of the oven and all outside surfaces were liberally coated in grease. The mains inlet connector block was burnt out and there was not much room to get at it, especially when I needed to re-connect the now shortened power cable. I therefore had to do my contortionist act, getting filthy in the process. There was a tribe of children there, including one who watched what I was doing intently throughout. At one point the little lad said to his mother “The repair mannie will need a hot bath when he gets home from here.” Out of the mouths of babes….. 😆
