Jobs by text

[leelister6]

Lately, I seem to be getting more requests for work via text and for some reason, this really riles me. They're generally just the small jobs like fittting a cooker etc. but it just strikes me as pig ignorant! How much more difficult is it to pick up the phone and actually speak to someone? Might just be me finally turned into a grumpy owd get!!:32:

I encourage texts. Some people who aren't on contract phones are put off by mobile charges and would prefer to phone a landline, but a text is usually free or 10p. I have it on my website "text me the word 'plumber' and I'll call you back".

I don't mind as I hate talking on the phone. Most people just seem to rattle on and on and on.....

I don't care as long as the works coming in. Wouldn't mind if it was by carrier pigeon to be honest.

I ignore all text messages I can't agree with you more. 2 minute conversation is equal to an hour texting back and fourth.

I don't mind a text, most of the ones I've had are through the day and along the lines of 'I need a new bathroom fitting, am I ok to phone this evening to talk through it.'

It's when you get a random text that simply reads "how much for a boiler service?". I mean, honestly, I'm not a mind reader and I have no idea what ruddy boiler you have. I just text back £75.00 and funnily enough I never hear from them again.
