Cancelled appointment .....GRRRRR
Discussion
Why is it you book someone to come out to do something - in my case connect a dual fuel cooker - and what happens? 10 mins before theyre due, a bloody phone call, cant make it, Wednesday earliest.
Boils my piss this. Yes Its a f
king issue, I got the morning off. Yes I'd like you to fking do the job you said you would when you said you could do it.
Plus I thought I'd be helpful and unpack and level the new cooker, so now I have 2 bloody cookers sitting in my kitchen, neither of them connected. If it wasnt the fact you need to be Corgi registered I'd have fitted it last week when the bloody thing turned up.
Feel like telling him to forget it and get someone else in...

I was just cursing a tradesman on Friday evening. We penciled in for a chap to come over at 4pm on Friday to lay a carpet for us as a cash job. He was recommended to my missus by a company who she subcontracts work out to for the letting company she works for. We'd even met the guy at a party and he seemed good as gold.
So the missus gets home for 4pm. 4:30pm nothing, so she phones him to find out he is held up on a job, but he'll get there as soon as he can...
I roll through the door at 6pm to find the carpet still lying rolled up on the stairs and my missus pacing up and down cursing, given that she had 2 hours to make up for coming home early and a bedroom that just needed the carpet doing to enable us to move back in.
6:30 I point out that he isn't coming and to stop standing in the kitchen waiting for him. Effing and blinding she comes and sits down. I'm pissed, she is fuming, but it's happened.
7:10pm, the doorbell rings. It's only matey with his toolbox apologising profusely for being late. Deep into his own evening on the way home he'd come over, well out of the way too, to do what he promised he would.
20 minutes later it's done and it looked great. He even stopped for a coffee and a chat. He tried to refuse the £20 we had agreed because he was late, but we insisted he took it for a bottle of wine and a chinese on the way home.
So they are not all bad!
