Trouble magnet 2
So there I was laying bricks, minding my own business.
I started the job 2 days before and was told by the builder that the Termi man wanted 1 course laid around the whole job, BUGGER, you have no idea what a pain in the bum this is.
Anyway I did the 1 course right around while my son loaded the job, got mud etc.
That afternoon the Termi man rang to see how I was going, fine I said, but I want to start laying the garage wall straight away tomorrow.
Anyway tomorrow was a 39degree day so I didnt go.
So today this moron came on site and starts spitting venom from the word go, no hello, hows it going, nothing.
Huh
It seems I didnt do something, or maybe I did? I have no idea what this dill wanted me to do, or not to do.
He started to wave his silastic gun in my face, so I obliged and waved my trowel in his, mines sharper btw.
I politely told him to go away
and to get his boss to ring me.
What is wrong with people that they cant talk to you without ranting and shouting.

Probably just had an arguement with his missus.
Perhaps you should have suggested that he look into getting some anger management counseling.

You have no idea how close I was to slipping off both his ears and banging them up his esra, but I being the mild tempered soul that I am, I resisted.

Some people are just FUBAR and not worth the air they breathe.
Carry on Al I am sure you have more pressing things to concern yourself with.

yep stoppers, definateley a heathen attitude.
not like the refined chippy who waves a handsaw
or if hes not close nuff to pick his saw up.
waves his hammer.
Though I recall 1 builder who waved a 4 x 2
at the building inspector
and ran down the road following said BI
BI went to another council very promptly

To much work is going on, and we need more counselling.
Take him down to the back of the block and COUNSELL him (ie beat the living crap out of him)
You'll find tomorrow his attude will have improved 100%.
