People coming on to this board wanting us to make bullets for them to fire.
They employed the electrician, they then want us to give reasons to complain.

How about people who pretend to have hired an electrician to legitimise asking questions about jobs they intend to do themselves?

Customer who complain at your labour charge of 1 hour - including two site visits - for changing a pendant, plate switch, socket and ariel socket. Quoting "I could have done that myself - just I did not know where the wire went" I won't pay it! I will give you half. Off she goes to her retirement country 5 bed home and me to my 3 bed semi.

The"Due to unforseen family circumstances"verbal get out clause/ excuse to cancel.Just had it again this evening.I was all set to do a nice cooker cable install.All priced and agreed.

Customers who think niceic is a qualification!!

Had this yesterday, a lady giving my sparky mate a bit of advice when we were talking 'lectricks, " If you want the job done properly then you won't get a cheap electrician, they pay to be accredited by safe contractor and niceic and if they aren't then they aren't trained properly or for the matter insured for works to be done"

Makes me laugh everytime.
