Punching a customer in the gob

Aug 23, 2009 33 Replies

I got a phone call this morning at 1am off an irate and pissed up customer threatening to kill me.



At 3pm this afternoon I went around to his house and punched him in his big fat gob.



Should I charge extra for working on a Sunday as I have not yet printed off his invoice?



Adam



Most definitely charge him for Sunday service.

Some people are beyond disrespectful!

Pat on the back and good on you ards!

Only if he was happy with the job.

It's a call-out after all...

Bill him for Filling In & Making Good?

Where do you advertise - Pit Bull Breeders Monthly, or Saga Magazine?

Not going to be a chapter in my forthcoming book "Marketing for the Sole Trader".

:-)

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember "ARWadsworth" saying something like:

I hope you charged him for tool use (fist) on a day off.

This was a recommendation!

Adam

Best go and thump the person who recommended you then, so he doesn't make that mistake again!

Owain

An interesting little snippet for your autobiography though, "Magician on the Decking"

Owain

He wasn't in so I had to I had a piss through his letterbox.

Adam

And for the materials used in cleaning said tool afterwards.

You're not on ratedtradesman by any chance?!

There should be a "ratethescumyouworkfor" site.

It will only apply to a few select customers. The majority are fine IMHO.

Adam

Must have been one of your more upmarket customers if he still had a front door that wasn't boarded up.

Has your (ex?) apprentice gone up to court yet?

Owain

All charges dropped. It seems that the CPS are not that useless.

I can still take the piss out of him as he is still waiting for his "Incredible Hulk" underpants that were taken away by forensics to be returned. I have told him that the police hold onto items for 12 months (eg my T shirt) before returning them if there is no case to answer to.

Adam

Ewww. The police custodier's job is not a fragrant one.

Owain

The apprentice is also complaining that he no longer owns a full set of "super hero" underpants.

Adam

Never mind, maybe his mummy will buy him a Thomas duvet set for his birthday.
