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!

Whhhhyyyyy????? Why do people snip cpc's off when its so simple and takes a matter of seconds to connect it!! All i had to do was replace a pendant with a 6ft fluorescent in the loft, tested for zs and no earth even though it was connected at the light! It was cut off at the switch so i joined it there, still no earth! Traced cable towards landing light but no cpc's and no permenant lives in fitting! They were stuffed up above the light in choc blocks and wouldn't pull through so i had to take boards up in the loft to remove choc blocks and connect them properly in fitting! Hour and a pigging half to do a ten minute job just because some cretin couldn't be bothered to spend ten seconds connecting a cpc!

You have my symapthies, Monkey. A few weeks ago I caught my colleague snipping off the CPC's when wiring up some new fire alarm detectors because "there's nowhere for them to go." Knob-head...

a) six MCB's all labelled just "sockets" How f***g useless. May as well have labelled them "electric things"
b) circuits labelled as "new sockets". Well they may have been new in 1971 when they were put in, but they all look the same now

When you go to a job to fault find and the customers first words are 'how long will you be?'
