Why is it…? 😕
…That the phone won’t ring on a Thursday?
…That the phone will ring at 11 o’clock on a Saturday night?
…That I use a part for the first time in 5 years, the very next customer wants the same bit…?
…That it takes me 20 minutes repair a Hoover washer and 30 minutes to get the table top back on?
…I can never find a 13a fuse in my van?
…I’ve just sat in traffic for 30 minutes and a call comes in where I’ve just come from?
…I’m desperate for cleared funds in the bank and everyone pays by cheque?
…There’s never a filling station around when the light starts flashing?

Re: Why is it?
Why do customers phone and complain, “Fridge not cold enough” When you get there it is turned off with the door wide open. I used to say, “No wonder it isn’t cold enough madam, someone has turned it off & left the door open”.
Why do they offer a cup of scalding tea just as you are ready to walk out the door.
Why do they request we phone before we call, if you are there to answer the phone, you are there to answer the door.
Why do they ask us to phone a mobile 30 minutes before and they will come home from work, and we find it is turned off, then they tell us they are not allowed to have their mobiles on in work.
Why is it they have only one 1 hour window all this week that they expect you to call in, and then complain when you are unable to oblige that time slot. Or phone on a Monday afternoon, state they are only home on Mondays, then complain when we offer the following week.
Moan that they have to wait 2 days in the middle of summer for a tumble dryer call, yet prepared to wait 2 weeks to see a dentist and 6 months for a hospital appointment.
Have you noticed that any week before a school holiday, you are quiet, then on the Friday afternoon, they all phone up. Then when some of your engineers are on holiday, you are inordinately busy.
How about the customer that phoned the first week of the Summer holiday with a fridge failed, and day after tomorrow was not good enough, the fridge has not been working for a week. Asked why didn’t she phone before, she explained she was working, and left it till she was off. We advised her that one of the fridge engineers was on holiday. She said, “Well you knew it was going to be hot and fridges are likely to go wrong, it’s outrageous to allow this person to have holidays in the Summer”.

It’s called sod’s law!
It’s the reason why customers decide they need their oven fixing on Christmas eve, when it been broke for six months.
And what is it with that Thursday thing? 😕
Re: Why is it?
Thusrday is my traditional day off, wonder why.
Why does the customers phone ring and they get involved in a long phone call, right at the moment you have completed their bill and awaiting, twiddling thumbs, for payment, yet the hour or so you have been spralled on their kitchen floor they had nothing better to do than stare at your arse!.

If you are talking Life of Brian, (Fwee Woderwick) you must mean Biggus Dickus, his wife was Incontinentia. (Stwike him Centurwian, vewy wuffly)
Tell I had a good upbringing. Suspect this has gone off topic somewhat, can someone possibly steer this back to the appropriate subject?

Why is that every time we get an interesting thread going, we wander madly off topic? :rotfl:

Re: Why is it?
Why is that when you really do need a quite day the phone goes mad, I have a new PC arriving tomorrow ( what joy ) hours and hours of setting up and transferring ‘stuff’. 🙁 🙂
Also picking up new car on Thursday, I have a backlog of 14 customers waiting for parts, most of which will arrive tomorrow, WMA rear drum, Indesit bearing support, Hotpoint W/D condensor and several others that are not five minute jobs, and I am already booked up all Wednesday and Thursday, 😮Wouldn’t have it any other way really, but it does make you long for a holiday. 8)
