Had an electrician that apparently accepted job at few different houses and locations.
So he dug my walls to put cables in and put plastic tubes in the walls that wires will go in.
Didn't hear for him for 2 weeks. Then he didn't even bother to let his phone ring but he immediately denied/refused my calls.
2 more weeks passed, at this point we need electricity ASAP in there, no replies.
Asked few more people that might know him or people knowing him what's up and found out he works on few locations, takes money upfront and can't make it up on time.
Sat in car and went to location he was at. He shat bricks when I got inside the garage he was in. I said fuel I spent to get here will be deducted from price of his work. I won't insist on paying less cos mistakes happen and he maybe bit more than he could chew, but there's always an option not to be a scum and at least answer the phone.
We had working electricity next week

Please do not accept all the jobs being offered just for the sake of securing the work, if you can't meet the deadlines

When i built fence, I had a particular customer who want a vinyl privacy fence installed along the side of their house. Sure, no problem. Their back yard sloped up in a curve approximately at a 60° angle. Vinyl is very rigid and can be difficult to work with. We installed the posts and started getting to work. This man, who was a stay at home something or other, was watching us work from his kitchen window. He came out to try and tell me I installed the post wrong because it "looked wrong to him". I out my level on all 4 corners of the post to show him the installation was done correctly. He asked me to angle the post. I asked him "you want me to make it unlevel on purpose?" And he said yes. I asked for him to put that in writing to cover my own ass, he obliged. We continue finishing up the fence (was only about 120' or so of fence) and by this time his wife arrived home. She stated the post looked wrong (the one he asked us to install unlevel). And asked us to fix it. I got the paper out with his signature on it and his face went beat red. She was furious with him screaming at him asking why he would ask us to do a bad job. :rofl:

Needless to say we took the post back out along with some of the panels to redo it. She apologized profusely and stated she was the one that was paying for the fence and not him.


He clearly did not wear the pants in his house and needed some sort of semblance of power and tried to do that with us.

End of the day, she was happy and we got paid. The tl;dr is let the professionals do what they need to do and trust their judgment.

Currently working as a household employee.

My boss is an ex-marine and retired contractor. Gets cranky real easy and certain ways about everything but typical for a 76 year old.

He has Parkinsons now dealing full on side affects as well as clincal depression. Always in a down mood.

I dont to bathe him or dress him but about everything else.

Like 10 years ago, I worked on an educational farm for six months. I arrived on the first day, and a woman offered me a joint (I was smoking at the time).

My civic service went relatively well, but one day, a woman who came to help out on the farm dropped her joint on the ground.

It turned out that my supervisor's husband had picked it up, so I asked him if he could give it back to her.

He flew into a rage and told me never to come back to the farm (my service ended a few days later).

I never went back, but I have fond memories of it.

I'm a body piercer. I had a client come in 10 mins to close once after eating kit with her family. I pierced her and she said she was nauseous. The next thing I know she leaned over and threw up all over my feet and shoes. Mind you this is 10 minutes so closing so I spent the next 45 minutes wiping the entire piercing room down with madacide ( industrial strength cleaner ), stuff will kill aids on any service. I had to throw away my shoes, the mother was apologizing profusely, and on top of that they did not leave a tip after cleaning up their daughters throw up all over myself for 45 minutes

most of my bad experiences has been because the engineers dont know how to price/time jobs correctly. instead of running samples to see how long something would take they would guess based off what the computer tells them. quote the customer impossible times then get mad at everyone else when the jobs cant be done on time. rushing people leads to poor quality then the parts get returned anyways resulting in huge losses.
