lame plumber
getting a late fri callout for an immersion issue, walking in and having a look, check the wiring, switches, fuses and flick up the dodgy mcb to make it work and he offers you a £5 for your trouble then winges when you give him the invoice. then winges more when you tell him its not your time he is paying for but your experience and that his bath will be hot in 60 mins!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I know quite a few teachers! They can be a tad patronising at times shall we say!

I've got far too much to rant about! So I'll stick with plumbing related issues....
People who put cupboards around boilers without leaving room for servicing.
Roid head plumbers who over tighten every compression joint, when bits of brass are coming off the nut, it is tight enough!
Other trades moaning about how much plumbers charge....How often does your trowel get calibrated? When is you WoodSafe registration due? Exactly, f**k off!

Custards who like to hide the gas meter under a pile of crap under the stairs that takes 20 mins to clear ..........
And the ones who boild shelves in front of boilers so you cant remove the cover.......or the bracket screws cos they roundes the heads off with a cheap diy electric driver....

went to a service 12 months ago, low and behold it was a gw fuelsaver circa 1980s. thermocouple was burnt out (failed to mention). closer inspection revealed the overheat interrupter had been linked out. Custard suddenly couldnt remember who did it. so got new bits and carried on service. yay gasvalve was passing so new gasvalve. went back 2 days later cos guess what pilot had gone out relit and explained probably overheated and thats why mr dodgy had linked overheat out. custard hasnt paid and now says since i went the pilot constantly cuts out and it isnt working so hes not paying....so went back today to explain i hadnt broken the boiler and its doing what its supposed to do and its bad circulation..to which his wife says it worked fine for nearly 30 years till i got there..............I HATE lying custards..

Moved into my new house 2 years ago and ripped out the disabled jaccuzi bath ( the door type), My old man came round and asked if he could have it for his house cos hes a bit frail...asked him today if he wanted me to fit the bath for him cos he hadnt mentioned it for ages.....awkward silence then told me he'd flogged it on ebay for £250...parents eh gotta love em.

Speedfit!!!! I do 99% of my work in copper, currently at a job where the bathroom guy has left speedfit tails for me to connect on to.
What is with the inserts? Trying to push them home with a few inches of pipe protruding from the underside of the floor whilst stood on a ladder is getting tiresome! You need syper human strength and acrobatic balance!
I hate plastic pipe even more now!!!!

Just took delivery of a milwaukee 28v set up only to find 1 battery appears to be used and the charger is buggered!!!
Made mistake of saying i would do a combi swap for a mate yesterday. Didnt manage to start until 2, he was supposed to have removed boiler (gas already off) so thought i would be done by 6-7 at latest. He questioned everything i was doing, kept pushing in to try do daft little bits when i was trying to work, went to merchant and came back with wrong stuff! I left the boiler uncommisioned at 1am this morning as the regulator is buggered!!:32:
