Twice now I have had to get rid of unhelpful/difficult workmen.
As just recently the Plumber came out to do some work at my Mum’s, and I found yesterday he’d put plastic piping + an large old bucket in my Mother’s grey bin, which I’d hoped he’d get rid of himself. He knows that I look after my Mother, and sounded concerned to sort things before the weather turns more colder - yeh more concerned for keeping his wages rolling in. I had to arrange some time ago to get another spare grey bin as just the one there isn’t enough with grey bin collections every 3 weeks. So I phoned the Plumber and explained all this, his response was that he’d have to pay to get rid of it. Well well well, I certainly found out how concerned/caring he was, not. So I told him I won’t be contacting him again.
I’ve had a similar problem with a Gardener some time ago, who cleared his van of plastic cups, sandwich wrappings etc. When just the week before due to extreme hot/dry weather he had to take time off, when he could have cleared his van then. Can’t believe such inconsiderateness when they know I look after my Mum.
It’s difficult enough finding good workmen, but when they think they can take the piss coz I look after my Mum (which I’d hoped they’d respect and have some decency about - coz it’s her I’m hiring them for) they can think again - I ain’t no soft touch!
