Thread: Sooooo Proud...

    Cool Sooooo Proud...

    There I was in the shower, lovely hot water just standing letting the stream warm my aching back then click, freezing cold water ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!washed off in cold water arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!. So, phoned the plumber, he came and to say he suffered from BO. is an understatement equivelent to underestimating the presencce of a leg of Pork at a Barmitvah. He quoted €600 so said ok when?? he said tomorrow morning, I said ok see you at 9 am, 9am came and went so did 3pm, I phoned got the old "this customer has not set up their voicemail", I thought f*** it will look and see if I can do it. Took off the cover and thought mmmmmmm ok will have a go, off to the plumb center got the same shower and the fittings, total of €210, went home found the thingy that turns the water off, took it out put the new one in, wired it, connected the water supply, read the instructions, (yes guys those books that come with electrical equipment are for info on installation, not included for target practice.. pmsl) followed the instructions and turned the water and power back on and hey presto, it worked, it worked perfectly, I was so proud and I saved nearly €400, yipppeeeeeeee, it took me about 2 hours, someone who knew what they were doing would take quarted that time, nice litttle earner. Then the plumber phoned, "will be over in an hour" I told him I put it in, well feck me he went crazy, " I got the all the parts to do that for you now what will I do with this stuff, well I was going to suggest he use it to deal with his BO. problem but I resisted. I told him he was a day and a half late and he never answered his phone nor contacted me to say he would be late, he was not happy, well tough titties. Anyway I am so proud of myself, will attempt more of my own maintenance in future. I know that all will not go as easily as the shower, well thats my crowing over now to have a shower.

    Impressive. Just what the prick deserved. He was a rip off merchant. I bet he would have wanted cash.

    I can picture it now, you "Tatiania" in a tight boiler suit, tits bursting out of the suit, and a builders crack I would like to see.............. do you do show the customer how to use the shower after you have installed it, like share the shower........

    Well done Tatiania!!

    Plumbers take the piss when it comes to charging because most of us don't have a clue what to do, and are desperate to have the problem fixed. But we should all take a leaf out of your book.

    My boiler stoped working once because the pressure had dropped too low! It was in the middle of winter and a Sunday when it happened (as these things do). The plumbers call out out fee was 100 euro. He came in, twiddled with some hard to get at knob behind the bolier and left within 5 minutes!

    But I had watched what he had done, so when it happened again sometime later, I managed to make the adjustments myself without any hassle or expense. I think more and more people are going to be learning DIY, so that plumbers will eventually have to reduce their fees.

    You can't say that for escorts though! No manual is ever going to teach me how to do what you ladies do for me!!!

    Tatiana my shower is not working properly how much would you charge to have a look for me!!!! Well done, I would be terrified as my education says water and electricity don't mix, I know they have to for shower purposes but my head can't quite square that circle.

    Not sure which image is winning in my head, you in boiler suit and besmirched or you in shower!!!! I'll just have to give both equal billing.

    Dam it i wish i had of thought of saying in my lost and useless girly voice, ohh yes Mr. Plumber man please come and save me, put on the tight boilersuit, (would have needed something to pad the busting boobs) and watch his slowely dropping face as he realised he was been taking for a fool, nice idea, wish I was a little quicker..but hey what a good business idea are you interested rubber; we turn up in tight latex/rubber install and then show the ripped male(we only repair very hot men's showers. Now to come up with a name for the business of the year.lol
