suppose to do a job yesterday but I had to text him at half seven I couldn't do it till next sat as I've torn a ligament in my ankle
Ok he said next sat fine
Just got a text from him this morn I will have to cancel the job next sat it's too expensive
Now this prick has been sat on the price for a month don't get it the fukin eel
 
Had similar last week, booked in a little job to pinch in the afternoon, it was booked in for a week, he phoned me night before to say he'd gotten someone cheaper....the cheek :RpS_scared:
 
Just as bad, went out at nights over a few weeks, against my religion (and the wife thought i was havin an affair). Anyway, finished the job, person text me next day delighted with job and how much do i owe, said how much, then got reply, yeah no problem can i give you £xxxx and ill give you rest next month when i'm paid..
 
Im guessing he doesnt believe you madmonk and will find someone else, dont think its about price!? At least you informed him as others may have not turned up.

He got someone cheaper,, I find I'm not getting the privates as im too dear.
 
He's got someone cheaper makes u sick though when u have a verbal agreement no loyalties hopefully he's got some nugget to do it for **** all you'll prob get a call when they fuk it up lol :RpS_lol:
 
I don't really get your gripe here I'm afraid. If he's already got a painter booked in he probably just can't change that to a week later as they'll have stuff booked in. His excuse is a load of **** like but I can understand why he would get someone else in

It's because I've let him Down at the last min in my thread I've said I can't even walk at the mo never mind work if he can't wait another week that's his problem I wanted to do the job two weeks ago an he said no I'm going on holiday that's ok for him to do that an no he hasn't got a decorated in cos his dad is one an a good friend of mine so that's bollox anyway rant over not arsed his loss
 
Not the point. He agreed to move the job back a week then funked him of using price as an excuse. He's clearly got someone else. And that's fine but just say it not hard to Text him saying" I need it doing this week ill have to get someone else" not that ******* hard is it
 
Exactly im an easy going person all you have to do is tell the truth I'm not arsed it's just the snotty reply that pissed me off as I said I wanted to do it for him 2weeks ago just to help him along that's the thanks you get

Live by text & die by text ... as there is no context!

I would have phoned him and had a chat - and would have done the job next Saturday.

Absoloutley spot on

you can sometimes sweet talk them via phone or via face to face

but by text no chance
 
I'd rather not have to sweet talk a customer. They either want me to do the work or they don't. The day in start having to sweet talking and begging is the day I pack in.
 
i no how you feel ment to to overboarding and skimming a ceiling today
get a text last night not even a phone call at about ten the night saying need to rescedule as cant be done today
fuming !!! days money lost
 
i most likely would not be as annoyed by them if they phoned up to explain
and said look sorry cant do tomoz cause so & so has happen or boilers packed up

but a text message to me is just rude
just glad i never finished in time to buy materials on friday or would of been stuck with a load of plasterboard
 
You have no one but yourself to blame lad. Like has been said somewhere you should have give him a bell and talked about it. Texting is gutless. You have a good excuse because of your leg but he will think your having him on. would you believe it if someone gave you that excuse next time phone them.

I tried 4 times to ring no answer so being polite that I am sent him a text it wasn't intended as I fakin hate texting so I'm off to the back of the classroom cheers
 
Had an email this morning to cancel next week, apparently their daughter is having an operation next Monday and they don't know how long she is going to be on hospital for blah blah.
This has been booked in for 6 weeks and she emails me now.
I'm sure I'll be able to cover the 5 days but that's not the point, how long has she known about the operation.
 
When someone texts about a job to look at that's the cue for me to say naaaaaa mate if your shirking on a call you Deffo ain't getting to the point of me even pricing.
 
Don't mind texts. often people are in work or I Myself am busy so a text is there for me to pickup and reply when I want. And vice versa. No different to an email really is it.
