Should I rearrange my tight schedule to accommodate a young woman who say's her damp patch is causing her considerable frustration ?
 
I would advise the young women that there are ways of dealing with dampness and say you are willing to drop in later to demonstrate.
 
What you need to do is make the hole big enough to get your head and Makita torch in there and have a damn good look around.
I'd probably wear my Batman outfit for a job like this.
 
Are these women trying to wind men up, or are they just not realising what they have said?
I still find in hard to look at a woman straight in the face when they want some plumbing item etc removed and ask me " I just want to have it off!"

Had a phone call from a middle aged single lady who said she thought she needed a fairly expensive new part on her oil boiler, but said problem was she was currently not working and had no money to pay me!
Unfortunately she did pay me in money though. :smile:

Know exactly what you are saying mate but the game is working out if they know what they are saying or is it our minds.
 
A few long time ago I followed a woman up her stairs to look at a faulty shower. As she was explaining on her way up with me behind her she said " Ive tried it in position lol
 
Explain that, in these situations, the dampness usually spreads before it gets drier
And it's perfectly normal to want it looking at/seeing to
 
I`ve heard some right crackerjack comments over the years but as it`s an open forum I`m not posting them here.

That's the problem, - trying to understand if the woman knows. They can be very clever at acting innocent. Your reputation would be destroyed if you said the wrong thing to a female - particularly if she was alone with you.

Oh yes! Figured years ago it`s a game I`m not very good at playing. lol
 
Thanks for the comments, it's dirty job and someone has to do it, looks like me then : )
