what an idiot!

[Guest111]

Back in June I fitted an alarm for my mates daughter,her husband,s a complete tool and wants everything for nothing,anyway I did a basic no frills system for them at cost price,while I was there I changed an energy saving pendant for an ordinary one as he couldn't find anywhere that sold the lamps! Today I got a call that the alarm was broke and the light had a fault as well,I went round and the idiot starts giving it large that he,d set the alarm off accidentally and couldn't hear it in the house,I explained this was because the panel was in a cupboard and he didn,t want to pay for an internal siren,he then started moaning that none of his neighbours had come rushing around when the alarm went off,so that,s my fault I suppose.We then got onto the faulty light fitting,which turned out to be a blown lamp,he moaned at this because "that bulb hasn,t been in 5 minutes", it was the bulb I put in back in June and then it came out of another fitting,I had a really hard time controlling the urge to strangle the idiot,and of course it was a favour for a mate so I didn,t even have the satisfaction of sticking him with a big bill.

Thats why I like this forum. You learn about this electricery stuff and have a good laugh at the same time.

Very true! You just have to be careful you dont get lost up your own ar*e and take things too seriously ...... you could pay good money to read/experience this elsewhere!!

 

[Spoon]

I hardly ever take things seriously... Life is not fun if you do....

I've planned my mid-life crisis already. I have high hopes of re-kindling my days of groupie 3-sums whilst lounging on the back seat of something large and luxurious with a Bollinger fridge fitted. Oddly, coming onto an internet forum and taking a few cheap swipes at some electricians has never figured in the masterplan. Maybe it should? Am I going to miss out on something vital if it doesn't? How would I know? Who am I anyway??....... yippee!!!! It's started!!!!!!

 

[cashnotakite]

It,s true most people are an easy target, I have a high powered .22 with lasers and night sights,most people just leave me alone.

I'm not surprised, you sound like the next massacre waiting to happen chief

I,ve forgotten more about sparking than you will ever know .

Yeah I can tell that by the way you butchered that simple alarm job and had to go back round there with your tail between your legsView attachment 21323

 

[Rockingit]

You get a better class of insult here too, and some of the put-downs really are just sublime !!

I wonder if the guy wears the same specs as when he was recorded getting abused
Argument Clinic - YouTube

 

[Silly Sausage]

I don't think he does.

Oi Des, Shouldn't you be studying how to repair saunas now?

 

[Geordie Spark]

He'll get round to that once he's extricated his and the sheep's feet from his wellies.


You could say he's other wise engaged just now !!
