Here is a good one that happened to me when i just started up on my own.
Did a job for a guy i knew who had an open cast mine. Putting toilets etc in the mine.
The day i was finished i went down to his office to tell him i was done and he was on the phone. He briefly covered the mouthpiece and asked how much he was due me. I said 4000 or whatever it was and he continued talking on the phone and pulled a calculator out, then his cheque book and wrote a cheque for 4600 or whatever it was.
I said that is too much and he said yes 4k + vat. I said no 4K including vat. He just waved me away (while still talking on the phone) and said keep it i appreciate what you did.
The biggest tip i ever had.
Still do work for the guy to this day.

Hi REDSAW.
Still trying.Wage went down £65 a week this week due to cut backs. Hope your keeping your end up .No pun intented:willy_nilly:

 

[fogarty]

Obviously good things don't happen to plumbers. The best thing I can come up with is when I worked in an empty house ,the two female neighbours fighting each other over who could look after me the best with endless cups of tea and biscuits. Couldn't stop peeing for two days

 

[tamz]

Well if we are talking female here that is another level.
Every one i ever DID cost me money. Sometimes it was good, sometimes i was robbed

Going slightly off thread, my mam once cleaned for an old guy who gave her a bag of nuts as a present. A couple of days later she thanked him and he replied ; no problem, once I've sucked the chocolate off them I don't like the nuts

I'd of done her

 

[Barry98]

Best situation is same as my worst post lol

 

[mountainman]

Depends.
If she was fit I would have knocked a tenner off the bill.

No, seriously.
If she wanted 'extras' I would have appraised her of my 'Service Charge'.
