People who park in a driveway, and drive on a parkway!

you're in a tight spot either in a crawlspace or 20 ft. in the air on a ladder and your helper Bi#@h is no where to be found when you need a fitting or material.

This one really enrages me:

I get to the job with a huge load of material and tools that need to be packed in. The driveway and all close street parking is plugged with idiot helper's and owner's cars.

The tradesman's vans with tools and material are forced to park on the other side of the busy street (sometimes further away). All these idiots watch us march all this heavy crap across the street and into the job - dozens and dozens of trips, risking our lives on some streets - never offer to move their stupid frickin cars up the street.

Retard helpers and owners! Park cars and non-work pickups away from the jobsite!!! Close parking is for work vehicles only.

When your doing a service call and they have a dog or dogs that will not shut up and bark constantly and the homeowner TELLS THE DOG TO SHUT UP OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER UNTIL YOU WANT TO TO THEM ALL TO STFU.

On calls like that, I wish I was hourly.

Needing to park downtown, come across a parking spot that clearly states commercially marked vehicle only and you see someones personal car parked there, That car is not commercially marked, get the "f" out of that spot.

I did some work recently at the city dog pound...
Yep I wore earplugs...

I was doing a repipe once with this little yapper dog barking it's fool head off like 2 feet from me in a dag cage for an hour. Finally I picked up a pinch if dry sand and chucked it right down his throat mid-bark. He choked on it for a few seconds and I didn't hear a peep out of him for hours

I know, I'm going straight to hell.

I can not stand it when the freaking painter has to park in the driveway. Dude, you need a freaking brush and a roller. I need to trim out 4 full baths, a kitchen, a laundry, 3 powder rooms, a wet bar, on and on.
GET YOUR POS VAN OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY!!!!!!

Or, worse yet, the carpenters. They are framing an addition for the last month. We are there to start the rough. You would think they would have had all of their tools in the house by now. Oh wait, they do.
