Making someone collect their ladders?

[Patrick Bateman]

I'll tell him that I'll give them away/bin them if he's not going to collect them.

Tell him to collect the ladder, or you'll take steps...

But only once you've rung him up to warn him of this.

I think the OP should tread carefully - one step at a time.

With what means could he actually claim the cost of the ladder back? He hasn't got his own business.

I don't think he meant against income tax!

I had some workmen leave a long ladder behind after they'd done some work - they didn't return for it even though I asked them many times. After 6 months I gave the ladder to a neighbour.

I've a very good ladder which wallet by a builder, like
you I asked several times but they never came back. It's been very useful over the years.

Never used the ovens in the QC lab to dry out damp spark plug leads, after you (stupidly) tried to wash an engine?
Never had the sparky at work wire up your garage?
Never borrowed a fk off massive torque wrench from the maintenance dept?

Those are homers.

I'd tell him he has a week and then it goes on the pavement outside your house with a 'free to a good home' sign on it.

I know that none of us well-built manager type PHers actually live in such a locale, but maybe the OP could engage someone to transport the ladder to an area where rough folk dwell, and thus the ladder would be swiftly stolen from the pavement without the need for such a sign?

[HOGEPH]

Careful how you go about it, don't want to end up in the Small Climbs Court.

[EddyP]

I need a new ladder, where are you?

My word. That all sounds very industrial.

Ah you mean a scocher.

[AmiableChimp]

Don't contact him too much...unless you want to get a rise out of him.
