Not a spoiled little man-diva or anything like that (CAN'T be in our trade )

However , I have a thing that drives me BAT-SH***T !! If a HO knows you are replacing a toilet or water heater or just have a bunch of things to haul in and out of the house ,,,,, CAN A HARD WORKING BROTHER GET A CLEAR PATH IN THE DRIVEWAY !!!

I go to tons of houses were they know bigger then normal stuff is going to happen and STILL there are 2-4 big ass cars crammed together in the drive way !! They see you struggling to get around the stuff , stay out of the mud , not scratch or break anything !

You think with all their money and degrees SOME COMMON SENSE would have filtered in !!

Pisses me off ,,,,,,,, Thanks for letting me get that out !

You can't buy common sense with money...
Sometimes you just end up thinking they had a real lucky streak to get all that money...

I simply ask them to move their cars, (I would really hate to scratch it when I am trying to get past with this HWT Mrs. Rockerfeller)

Ispent some time trying to narrow my choices down but the reality is lately everything pisses me off.

After last night's debate though I have to say that top of the list is the Republican Party which seems to be going out of thier way to throw this election. I suppose there's some logic to it though. Let Obama inherit this friggin mess for the next 4 years so they can run and hide for awhile. Gutless *******s every one of them. Take back the republican party

Checking pressure on every house is a requirement in my company. I can't begin to tell you how many PRV's we've replaced on drain calls! $$$$ That's not greed, it's good service, and my customers deserve it!

I always ask them to move the car if I have to get something big by. If I run a cast tub into the car what are they going to say? I can tell them it shouldn't be there and they will inevitably tell me I should have asked them to move it. In the end I would wind up paying for it. I haven't had anyone refuse or get angry about it yet.

DUNBAR PLUMBING

Customers that have the heat up too high, then wonder why I'm sweating profusely working in their home.

Customers that eat while talking to me, thinking I want to hear them try to talk over their jaw-packed rhetoric.

Customers that don't have the sink cleaned out underneath when they called the damn plumber to work under it...that's my cue to go outside and get my tools while they do something that should of been done before I got there.


Customers that think I take pleasure in musical chairs in the driveway when I'm already there and I'm working. YOU ****ing know you called the plumber, why aren't you planning the car situation BEFORE I arrive?

Customers that know I'm coming, I just called and I knock on the door, no answer. I asked one guy if he had alheimer's sp? when he finally answered the door. "Do you realize I just called you?" Gives retarded people a pink slip to be normal.

Customers that timeline other activities around a service call with no clue how long the job will take, especially when they feel that they can asess the call themselves and make up their own time frame. I can't help sometimes there's more plumbing work to do....it happens. But don't rush me thinking I'm going to be super mario just because fluffy has a dentist appointment you closely scheduled.

Customers that think it's cute to carry on 3 conversations while discussing with me the situation at hand. If you're on the phone yacking when I need pertinent information to continue...guess what? You're wasting your money and my time while you think your dr. phil time is soooo precious.

Customers who lock doors behind me every damn time I walk back and forth out the door. That **** stops right there on the spot, I brace that storm door permanently open till the job is done and I tell them, please do not expect me to keep locking this door every time I want to go out and get parts/tools. If I could back the truck up to the door of your bathroom or kitchen, I'd do it, I promise.

Customers that think that after knowing me for 10 minutes that it's okay to fart. You too women; you're not hiding anything with those silent but violent ass bombs and blaming it on muffy. I'd think I'd know what human **** smells like by now, unfortunately.

Customers that have no problem with me taking the garbage away when the task is done, but then call back up asking for the box and the old faucet parts AFTER I've left. WTFH? I tell them if they want it, it's sitting here at the shop, come get it. 99% of the time they don't come and get it...wonder why?

Customers with one way access down their steps that has so much stuff/junk in the way or one the walls that it's literally hazardous and one wrong move and you're tumbling...tools or not in tow.


I feel better now.

DUNBAR PLUMBING

I have that covered, always when I load everything up before I head to the truck to write the bill, "Is there anything else we need to look at?"


It's a yes or no at that point, still on the clock.
