    You know how it goes…
    I need someone out as quickly as possible as we have a 5 month old baby & need the dishwasher working!!

    There’s lots of permutations of this & I’m thinking of producing a Top Trump style chart of who is more worthy of a quicker visit.

    (Tongue in cheek all this obviously but it’s winding me up at the moment what people say to get you out quicker)

    Age of customer
    Age of children
    Number of people in household
    Ailments
    Tone of voice
    Saying ‘ it’s a disaster’
    Etc
    Etc

    My husband’s had a go and can’t fathom it!
    The ‘other’ company has let us down.
    Let us know what time and my neighbour will let you in.
    My friend said you don’t charge to come and look.
    I get home just after 7pm every weekday evening.
    You said it had a 10 year guarantee.
    The key is under the mat, ignore the dog.

    the hardest part is to pretend you care between the yawns

    oh you have medicine in the fridge — put it on the window sill its winter like daa

    oven not working — make a stir fry or call the chippy

    hubbys a chef he needs his whites — buy some more whites

    thankfully the voices in my head usually stay there — but do creep out now and again when faced with people who cant fathom out there little emergency is 1 of 10 i may have that day

    I call them Blackmail calls. If you answer your mobile phone on a Saturday or Sunday you get these so best to switch it off.
    Common one ‘The washing machines stopped full of water and I cant get the clothes out and the kids need their uniforms for school tomorrow’. Funny if you fall for this and ruin your sunday how miraculously they have managed to get the clothes out when you get there.
