Tradesman's dilemma..

[imamartian]

imagine this... you get a call from a women to come and wallpaper her front room on Saturday.. (no, not a euphomism !! ) So you turn up, unload the van, start measuring up, and a bloke turns up saying "nah mate, don't need you, do one..... i'm decorating !".... what do you do? (assuming you didn't react violently at this point !!!

But technically, you have a contract with the woman? do you have a contract? is it all about diplomacy?

What does the woman have to say?

What does the woman have to say?

ok two scenarios...

1. the woman has gone shopping.... (or fishing!)
2. the woman is around and says, "please continue.."..

 

[cantaloup63]

1. Wait until she returns
2. Continue

anyway, you're a teacher ffs....(qed !!!) i want to know how to deal with the situation, not how to teach her calculus !!

1. Wait until she returns
2. Continue

but surely you're assuming the woman owns the house... what if it was part owned with the bloke?

 

[expertgasman]

You pack up and go home, unless you have already isued her with her cancellaton notice under ther doorstep selling regulations, and the required time period for her to cancel has expired.

Or deck him.

Deck him.

I thought had worked out who Cantaloupe was, that's just confirmed my suspicions.

As one teacher to another, I can tell you, (but dont tell anyone else), that my days are numbered too. Today is Number 27,371.

What is particularly sad is that I just used a date function on MS excel to work out your age and DOB

I don't see why your days should be numbered Cantaloup, when you see the trash that "Gertrollop" is getting away with. He should have been kicked out long ago!!
I never respond to him.

Well:

(a) To err is human, but to forgive on here is nigh on impossible and way above "divine".

(b) My emulation of mindless and thuggish trolling last night did push the boundaries somewhat. Having tried it out, I really can't see the attraction of it, so I'll give geraint that one; it's a hole in my imagination that he doesn't have (although to be fair, I'm not entirely convinced I'm worse off for not being able to get pleasure from that sort of homophobic and desultory behaviour).

I would say 'come in lightening' but that wouldn't be very nice so I won't say it
