Customers....Grrrr!

Range Rover Blues:
I had a customer book a course of intensive lessons, a whole weeks course in Jan, so I had to put off my regular lessons as this had been organised before Christmas.

So Monday he rings up on Sunday night to cancell Monday.  Tuesday Morning I'm sat outside his house trying to ring him before I fing out he's not even at home.

In short, a complete waste of the week.  In future I'll have to remember to ask for payment up front.

i wont make anything now without a deposit that covers the cost of the materials.

You think tenants are a pain, try some of the drunken/drugged-up people we see

    I once went to a customer who had managed to park his 6 month old bmw on a tree stump half a mile from the road on a wet friday night, i told him there would be a charge, took my jack and odds and sods the half mile to the car, jacked the car up (which was pretty much written off) and told him the charge was £30... he then grumbled and said he didnt want to pay and shouldnt have to pay.. i told him that was fine but i would take his car and charge him storage till he paid up... funnily enough he was happy to pay then!

I worst customers are the ones with lots of money because they change there mind on how they want something doing just as i,m final troweling the wall up.
One woman and a big extension on her house for a kitchen we were there for a week and on the last afternoon as my guys were packing the van up to go home she asked me how much work it would be to move a socket along the work top because her kettle lead was not long enough for were she wanted to put her kettle.Baring in mine i have spent two days boarding and plastering her new extension so i would have had to chop our new plaster work up.
I told her that we would have to remove her new granet work tops so she said that she would live with it.
