I get wound up by people who make excuses for their cock ups.

 

Accept you fucked up and move on.

People with no actual arboricultural qualifications highlighting NPTC qualified on their business cards

 

 

 

Same people often use images like this one for publicity which fools the unsuspecting public but rings alarm bells for those who know better.

When you lose a tasty job to a lower quote only for the client to recontact you weeks after to quote for the chipping up.

I have two questions for you.

1. Witch gizmos do you mean, exactly? 

2. "People who advertise NTPC qualified" (???) What would you prefer they stick on their card then? You come across as very presumptuous.

Sorry Nath, I may have got you wrong - I realise now that you meant people who actually have zero quals falsely claiming NTPC certs. I read it as people with NTPC certification but not higher degrees in arboriculture putting NTPC on their cards, implying that NPTC is not a "real" qual. Don't know why I interpreted your peeve that way. I take it you meant the former, in which case I agree with you completely, apologies.

Or those who point blank deny it!

 

Actually this is probbaly my single biggest pet peeve and i've witnessed it time and time again over the years.

'How did that dent in the truck happen?' 'dunno'

'Who broke that saw?' 'dunno, I didn't use it last'

 

etc etc....SOMEONE always knows.

 

I had a 460 seize a couple of years ago after being run on neat fuel, every single one of the staff(4 in total) denied being the ones who mixed the fuel.  Pretty sure it was 1 of 2 people, but what can you do in that situation?
