Pet hates

[kingeri]

Just wondering what everyone's pet hates are. You know, those things that really get on your ----. I went to a job last week and there was a massive gap between the backboxes and accessories - I'm talking about a 5cm gap here. I thought the accessory and backbox were supposed to form an enclosure! It really annoys me!

Customers who think you can just magic cables anywhere they want

Apprentices who think they shouldn't make tea

but i never drank tea during my apprenticeship nor do I now... think of what the apprentice might do to your tea, my mate used to rub his bellend around the rim of the cups everytime he was told to make the tea...

and if your wondering, the person on the site who made the tea had to get to the cabin before everyone to start making it giving him plenty of time...

No metal cable ties, or fixings rated to the same fire rating as the cable its supporting on fire alarm installations...
