Annoying Things Guys Do On Site

[Dilz]

Being handed a blunt saw - unless I'm about to sharpen it.

 

eating all the biscuits / more biscuits than me.

Dog poo! Customer has a dog, we ask if they have pre cleared their garden ? Yes they say ! What they mean is "It doesn't bother them why should it bother us" Grrr

[Mick Dempsey]

When they get in the truck in the morning and the first thing they say is what time you reckon we'll finish today!!

 

Or at breaktime they're on the phone to their significant other, "what time do you think you will finish babe?" Answer comes "oh early, 2 or 3 latest"

Me next to them in the van thinking "let's knock out that little job on the way home........... just because"

Anyone who stands around with a running blower on his back watching everyone else draggin brash,shovelling little bits of road grit and woodchip into the chipper and using my silky without asking will result in nut punches being served upon you. Hate that!

Likewise with the earlier comment about people pointing out its nearing break time. I will work a bit longer in these cases

Watching someone trying to ram branch forks through the chipper!!

Just you being on site would annoy me

[PeteB]

Someone who says "I done that...." and it isn't done properly and you end up doing it yourself!

 

People who put straps, ropes away in a bundle rather than properly.

 

People who after being given an instruction or best advice, do it their way and look amazed when it goes wrong!

I see Dave has put his axe to rest :sad:

 

Breaking News : David Gilmour to announce retirement from music - Mediamass

 

 

 

I worked in his garden taking out a dead apple tree, if I remember right, then grinding out the stump. One of those grand houses on Maida Vale, where the back garden is down a steep long flight of stairs at the side of the property. Got stumpy in, did the job with himself glaring out of the window all the time. Sweated me tits off getting all the scriff back up them bloody steps. Did I get a cup of tea or even a hello? Did I buggery!!

Couldn't get Stumpy back up the steps , roasted the hydrostat drive - too steep and too long, but knew they ( the London garden company I was contracted to) were going to crane in a new tree , so left Stumpy there for several days and came back on Sunday to a complete road closure, a 120 tonne crane (simply to achieve the reach required) and the tiniest willow tree in a 40 litre pot. Christ it looked stupidly small swinging over the rooftops from the street outside. Craned Stumpy back out and away.

Still no bloody greeting or cuppa or anything.

It still stings now 20 years later.

Knob was the word then, don't think I'm gonna change it even now.

Funny how some things stay with you.
