What are your biggest pet peeves?

[oldwoodcutter]

Despite all my toolbox talks , with the “here we go again” look on their faces, and trying to not get anyone killed, it always amazes me that when any chog drops right beside them, they just carry on shuffling around the branches on the deck, completely unperturbed.

No wonder my hair has turned white.

But surely the more shiny shit you have hanging off your harness the more Insta likes you get?

Thinking about it, I might start setting off from the ground with 2 saws at least.

The groundies will have plenty to do taking pictures of me, especially if I’m wearing my Oakleys as well.

The mind boggles Mr Bolam.

I bet that would chafe once you get some saw dust down there.

Funny, I remember receiving an envelope from you one day containing £50 folding wrapped in a pair of those...

How about all the time you spend talking to your potential client, 25 miles away, who then wants your quote emailed, and all itemised, so you do all that for a job that may be £1k , or £3k , or as I quoted

a few weeks ago £5k .

And you hear nothing, no ‘thanks for email ‘ , no ‘ we’ll get back to you’ Just no response at all.

Yes you can call them after a few weeks or chase them up, but you’re likely to be even more downcast after hearing it’s all been done “ at half your price “

Its worse when they get back to you three years later expecting it to be done for the original quoted price. We have had a lot of that.

Its worse when they get back to you three years later and want it done next week because it’s really urgent expecting it to be done for the original quoted price. We have had a lot of that.

That must have been when he lost his work bag after a night lap dancing at The Blue Oyster.
