This one really does deserve this post because I've been laughing all day about it and I still am laughing
and I hope you do as well.
Ok. My wife's work colleague has had a extension built and it was completed 2 weeks ago.
Her colleague has asked me to pop in to take a look at something not electrically related just as I know her as my wife's work friend.
so what did she want me to look at.
Her new toilet. For some reason the toilet tank is getting very hot and feels like it is going to melt.
When you flush it steams.
upon further inspection the idiot builder has plumbed her toilet to the hot water feed.
the toilet is actually flushing piping hot water straight from the hot water tank.
PSML. This one has been tickling me all day.
In all my years in the industry this has to be the best one I have seen.
 
I was thinking just the other day of putting a hot tap on connector like an outside tap type in the end of my garage so I can bung my pressure washer on it, if I put a cold next to it, I could put a thermostatic valve thing to limit the temperature to 50 degrees as I think that's the maximum my pressure washer can take.
 
According to Google, apdevelopments isn’t an electrician but a builder specializing in extensions.

Something’s a mite strange here and I wonder why he was called in to have a look at the job.

mrs hot bog is a friend of the OP's wife.
 
My father in law put in an outside tap using one of the kits from a well known shed (red pencil job). Unfortunately he put it on the hot (muppet) so he then went and bought another kit and put that on the cold. So he had hot and cold outside taps. I found it hilarious and constantly took the micky out of him until summer arrived.

He found that having an outside hot tap useful for filling the paddling pool for the little ones to play in- he said if he moved he would put in hot and cold outside taps again.

I have to admit that when I am carrying buckets of hot water to a paddling pool in my garden to warm it up that maybe I should put in a hot external tap but I cant as it just seems wrong!

I've made that mistake once - ONLY once!!

The gentleman of the house liked it because he could sit there and get his back warmed on the cistern.
