When i worked in Morrisons the wee hand held reduction printer lables were just the right size for this SS should have aquired one before i got payed off
 
going into an occupied re-wire to find its chipboard flooring, the loft has been conpletely boarded in an over the top, excited (look at what I can do ) DIY kind of way, and the bathroom is stuck down lino

when you do not get offered a cuppa

twisted earths go without saying, fibreglass insulation, asbestos (my poor lungs)

again on occupied rewires where there are mountains of furnature and crap and they stand there watching you struggle with the wardrobe not helping, and you know you just know if theres any damage to anything they will hit the roof

also when the place is being plumbed and waters off, youve just had your bacon sandwich and coffee and cig and ohhh nooo the dreaded desperate sensation creeps over you, and it would be the morning after youve had a curry

dot and dab

baked blue bricks that ruin your scutch

oh and yappy dogs - I hate them

everything else is great we are the best trade out there by a mile
 
PMSL@ the "Sensation"

me too, it reminds me of the ex gaffers 'sensation' on the M62, and he could not even reach the bushes it was roadside :eek: busy as hell with a big fat full moon out. never quite looked at him seriously after that one
 
rewiring council houses that are so dirty they have a fully grown grass lawn for a landing carpet.
twisted cpc's puts me on one straight away,who ever started that nonsense?
mini trunking ,hate the stuff looks crap whatever you do with it.
having some old diyer flat capper looking over yer shoulder all day.

city ctr jobs that you can`t get parked anywhere near, have to lug the tool box nearly a mile and as mentioned in the last post the penalty ticket cos you get back to the bay after the ticket has run out
 
Not so much a hate but more of a moan. We were in the garden for about 3 hours fixing an SWA for a hot tub, the home owner was out but there was a house cleaner working inside. We thought sooner or later we would get a cup of but after 2 hours gave up wondering when the consrvatory door opened and she shouted out," I know its a bit late " I looked at my mate and said "at last " the then said " would you like to put yor tools in here in the dry"

Ugh I hate hate HATE this. I'm get a lot of my work from leafleting, and it just so happend that most of the places with no front gardens (easy to leaflet) are all BLOODY RESIDENTS ONLY PARKING which is a massive bugbear with me - the residents have to pay a fee to get their pass so it's not to benefit them its coffers for the council. Anyhow, I seem to be forever unloading tools quickly and then driving round for half an hour trying to find a normal parking spot. THEN I'm always going back and forth cos it's a two hour zone or whetever. Have been on to the council so many times to see what I can do as a 'tradesman' but they never get back to me. I really hate this.
 
Working on anyhing old, that you havent installed yourself!! I definately prefer installing new! Lofts! Taking out downlights in plasterboard ceilings and the hole gets damaged! Just before you are about to go to the digs for the day, and you find a fault which you know needs doing today, cos your going home tommorow! And plasterer's when doing house bashing!!!
 
clients who constanly watch over asking price for everything and huffing and puffing about it even though they know it has to be done. Even worse a mannager who was a spark and trained in 13,14th Edition who thinks everythings fine and doesnt want to do anything.
