I was very nearly wiped out to day by some dizzy old git who just could not see a bis ass white car with yellow stripes and blue lights closing the road, all the traffic had stopped but thit idiot thought out of all the cars he was allowed to over take and go through the road closed sign at about 50mph.

Some of our Ambulance crews often have similar tales & have even had irate motorists open the rear doors whilst they're treating a patient inside & asked how long they'll be parked in the middle of the road/over their drive/in the way.
If there's one of your (West Yorkshire Constabulary) collegues around, they'll intervene, otherwise the individual often gets a less than polite reply from the crew :roll:

My plasterer turned up a week late (after I'd moved all the furniture out of the main room, including the piano, and lifted the carpets) and then had a major hissy fit at me for having the nerve to leave messages on his answerphone asking where he was. :twisted: I wouldn't wee on him if he was on fire.

Assuming you hadnt already paid him, I'd have waited for him to unload his tools out of his van and then told him i'd changed my mind and didnt want the job doing anymore.
Youve already put up with the disruption for a week, why not put up with it a bit longer while you wait for someone else to come do the job?
When someone messes you about and doesnt deliver when expected or answer the phone when you ring them, then if money hasnt already changed hands I find it quite satisfying to go somewhere else and let the original people know when they finally turn up/get in touch :)
