Fucking tradesmen. Why are they all cunts? Like i think i can count the number of honest and capable builders/plumbers/roofers I’ve met on one finger.
Guy comes over, quotes for roof repairs, I get an extension to my mortagage arranged to pay, he’s due to turn up today. I text him to confirm we’re good. Message read no answer. Text again. Same. Call, goes straight to voicemail.
Fucking pricks. If they’re not acting like 12 year olds they’re just being fucking incompetent (see previous rant about replacing a bath debacle) or they’re ripping people off.
Robots can’t come soon enough. Why there’s not a KwikFit style national company that does this stuff I don’t know cos they’d clean up. Sorry if you’re the miracle honest and decent tradesman out there, but the vast majority are fucking up your reputation.

He had no intention of doing the job, if you talk to people in real life like you do on here, than he probably thought you were a right condescending bell end.

Oh look more “condescending people on the internet”
Completely agree actually. Plasterers are alright generally.

I had to have loads of work done on my house when I bought it, which I was not expecting. The vast majority of trademen I dealt with were a fucking nightmare. Wouldn't turn up for appointments to quote, would quote and then disappear off the face of the earth, would schedule to do the job and then just not turn up.
Local facebook group is always full of posts from people who had work booked in and have had someone no show.
How hard is it to just say if you're not available or not interested?

To be honest, when I was self employed although not a "tradesmen" I'd often just blank people if they were knobs or refuse to do any work.
Even had to cut a couple of past customers off when they asked for more work because they were dickheads.
Word of mouth is a thing though.

It’s the no showing that kills me. Just send a fucking message…I get that you work differently to me but a message wouldn’t kill you!
Even a bloke I knew from football just didn’t turn up once! If he was gonna miss football he’d text and let us know!!

For me it’s often people who are offering quotes but I’ve still had to take time off to meet up with. So before they’ve had a chance to find out how much of a knob I really am!

Raise you blocks of cars parking on pavements making you walk in the road towards oncoming traffic.

Musk has far too much to say on the politics of a country he doesn’t live in or understand, he needs to just carry on making ugly cars or whatever he does.

For some reason a lane is closed from blue ribbon all the way to the end of the a444. No work going on, road is perfectly fine. What's the point?
So had to detour through past Highfield road. Traffic place could clean up round there if they wanted people clearly driving without a license and no MOT.

There's work in my road at the moment, well I say work nothing is actually happening. It seems one team come out and cone the road off, then a few days later someone comes out and digs a hole.
I left for work late this morning as I had the dentist so was there to see some actual workmen turn up just after 9 and then sit in their vans drinking coffee and smoking so I'm not confident much is happening before they inevitably knock off early for the weekend.

The "traffic management" companies must make a fortune out of it all.
Should be fines for every hour the road is closed / blocked off due to works and they would soon organise better.

Pain in the arse that is
My daughter thought it was something to do with roundabouts, supposedly reduced the lanes or something,guess they just want to prevent people going down the route that was meant to connect North to South quickly, now after Development along there like Gallagher/Euro car parts they want to make it slower.

Now this creates a dilema!
The state of the seat is proportional to the force exerted during the "cleaning" operation.
Those that ease to the side to wipe cause axial force on the fixings and over time these become loose, hence the out of line movement.
Those that stand and wipe have no affect on the seat.
This leads me to believe that all toilets should a note requesting users to stand when wiping their arse.

Whenever you're in a bad mood, the world seems to be set up to annoy you further.
More texts/emails from people
Dogs barking/neighbours louder than normal
Dumb shit like your jumper pocket devouring the door handle when leaving a room!

Everytime, the hook on my jeans for the belt. Always when I am in a bad mood and then instead of trying to do it gently, the door nearly comes off the hinges.
