**** Other Traders!

Post by stone gazer »

Ok Before my inbox starts filling up!

I am not talking about all here, and no trade either directly!!

But

:rant:

There are some people out there who are just plain stupid :chair:

When i look at other traders jobs and see what effort goes into being a good tradesman i know exactly what feels like doing your best with a great result.

And then i see (for instance)
today what its like to be your average joe blog'S who basically just dont give a sh*t, who walk around shatting b*ll*cks to all the other traders and who are generally unpleasant, bunch of T**ts.

These particular 2 are a tiler and an electrican, work for the same company and are pretty much like bill and ben.

The tilers layed slate roofing tiles in the kitchen which are like walking on rocks as there so uneven, He turned down granite tiles £32 a m2 for this crap paying £25 m2 for about 6 m2 :withstupid:

Then we have the lighting as i like to call him, as the first day i was there he electrocuted himself :sign6:
Putting on a plug socket......The idiot forgot to turn off the electric

And to top it all they've broken my granite worktop
:boxing:

That took 3 hours longer than it was supposed to and by the time i got out of the customers :boxing: it had made me late for another client who then kept ME waiting an hour and half which has now made me late for this evenings client which i have just had to rebook for tomorrow my day off!!!

So thats my day


such is life :cb

(im back there tomorrow now with my cam so i'll get some shots of there work and post them)

:scratch:

Traders? Do you mean tradesmen?
What are "bill and ben" like?
What is this "shatting b*ll*cks"? Can anyone do it or does it need a special type of undercarriage?
What were you doing in your customers? Isn't that a bit unprofessional?

Been there, done that, you have my sympathy.

Trying to do a quality job while all around are a bunch of tw*ts who either don't have a clue or don't care (or both). I can switch off to a certain extent, but when it starts to affect your job it can seriously affect your Karma (to put it mildly).
