Fuming
I am livid. A customer I have gone to for years was informed a couple of months back that my prices were increasing to £x per hour.I was there yesterday and invoiced her for the work done, 3 hours during which she offered me a cuppa , which I accepted and stopped for about 10 mins. Today I get an email commplaining about the price, saying its more than she pays anyone and I didnt work the 3 hours anyway, I stopped for 10 mins. I have replied politely telling her to deduct from the bill the cost of 10 minutes work and not to ask for my services again. All this and the house is for sale for a 7 figure sum

You normally find the ones with the most £ are the ones that complain the most Richard.

Its usually the fur coat brigade that are like that Andy, having dealt with the public for 30 years. Usually the ones who are loaded are ok, apart from this one.Her late husband was a really nice bloke though

Sadly there are some people who think that because they've got money that somehow gives them the right to be miserly, nasty people.

1. Guys were working in kitchen, owner asked to get there so they moved out of way. Owner made themselves a drink, workmen thought good they would get one too. No, owner made themselves a drink and walked off 2 Guy did a big job for someone and at the end was invited round for dinner. When customer gets invoice he/she returns it having deducted and amount for the dinner he/she gave the workman. We had a delivery when we had work done. we live at the end of a cul de sac. car comes up the road and wants lorry to move. We thought they wanted to get to my neighbour, lorry driver packs away the stabilizers, moves out of the way. The car turns around and drives back the way they had come. Lorry driver has to reposition and re-extend the steadies. Gob smacked my heart goes out to you, sometimes you are best shot of customers. If they come back tell them you charge for full hours, not part of and then make sure you work to 5 past Give them something to complain about macafee2 |

A customer like that isn’t worth having bud.
