Everything above!, plus
Going to suppliers only to find out that their " real time stock inventory status" is wrong and they haven't got what I want
Having to ask for things to be returned that I never loaned in the first place
Using wrong tool for the job
Kylie NOT wearing short skirts / shorts etc
Soccer
Cold coffee
Batteries dying part way through a job
People breaking / damaging my stuff
My employees keeping vans dirty
Blunt tools
20 piece drill bit /screwdriver /chisel / whatever set with only 19 items in it
Stuff not in the right place
Customers telling me something is my fault, always worked then stopped after you left...even though we had not touched it. Then NOT saying sorry when they realise it was not down to us
Being told that I charge too much and they can get it done for half the price!...I suddenly become too busy then:whistling2:
Doing a good job to British Standards and complying with Building Regulations [we have to test and sign a Cert to this effect ] only for the pipe monkey [plumber] to come along and drill holes wherever he feels like to put his plastic pipe in
Rant finishes.......
On the other side of the coin, things that cheer me up
My Children succeding in almost everything they do and being a credit to their generation
Seeing the RAF Red Arrows formation aerobatic team flying low level over my house
Customers doing it themselves and it all going horribly wrong
Politicians getting 'found out'
Diving where nobody has ever been before
Loads more things but they're for another day
...and just the other day...quoted for a job [door phone system repair]. Too expensive. Had a go himself:laughing:. Now none of the appartments work [originally only 1 was faulty]:laughing:. Requoted, guess what? Tooooooo dear. Client bought replacement kit cheap from somewhere. Got another firm to fit it, took 4 YES FOUR men half a day and it would still not work. All residents kicking off! Asked us to go. My lad fixed it in 2 hours [they had not changed the individual phones, only the Door Master!!!!] incompatible system and old stock, prob why it was so cheap. V. sheepish when he paid his invoice:thumbup:
