Pissed myself laughing
« on: 17 November 2016, 06:44:23 pm »

My Mrs and I are going our separate ways, we live in separate parts of the house, but have to admit she did have me in stitches today.
I went out shopping this morning and when I came back there was a guy on the roof of the house. He called down to me something in French to which I gave the Gallic Shrug.
I asks her what the guy is doing on the roof, fixing a ridge tile !!!, okay, and I thought no more about it. 10 minutes later this guy is going ballistic. Oh, by now he is shouting in English, What's up with him I asks her.
Turns out he told her there were two tiles needed fixing , so two tiles. She says the robbing bastard said €20 for the first tile, ok ,so now he says he wants €50 for doing the two so I told him to fuck off and have taken his ladder away.
This lad was about 30 maybe 35 and built like a builder. I thought fuck this and pissed off out on the MT09.
Roof looks okay, wife has an ear to ear grin on her face, we agreed €30 for the two, he left two hours ago.

Robbing bitch it was cold up on that roof for nearly two hours, 20 euros down on the job, my kids went without school dinners today and I lost about 80 euros on the next job of the day because I was late.
Lol
Only joking

He obviously hadn't quite grasped the art of haggling too well then?


20 for one, or 50 for two? What sort of backward business sense is that?


I'd have at least started with, "I'll have two of the 20's please."

The previous owner probably booked the guy to come round about 18 months ago.

French builders are notorious for not turning up. Now they have one more excuse to add to their list :rollin
