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!

Doing a nice looking install job with tray/conduit/trunking, then an alarm guy comes in later and tie wraps his intruder/fire/cctv cables any old how to it.
