Ever 'lose it' with the general public?
« on: March 16, 2014, 07:56:30 am »
Never fails to amaze me just how rude and ignorant some people can be. I had a tricky job in the town centre yesterday morning so got there early and coned the area off which meant I could step back and work to four storeys in the couple of parking spaces I now occupied. People were trying to reverse back inside the cones  ::)roll

Finish the front then round the back to a private car park the only safe option was to park up, cone an area off and work within the cones using the van as protection from any numpties. Only drawback was that part of the carpark was blocked - no problem because it was nearly empty.

One arse whole sees me working - 45' pole up on the top floor.

"Excuse me - move your van your blocking the car park"
I glance over - just drive behind the red Micra - there's loads of room.
"just because you've got a brush in your hand doesn't give you the effing right to park where you like!"

The conversation went on with lots of effing and blinding from the both of us.

Ever happen to you?

Pretend to be Polish and not speakey much English. Works a treat. So does laughing.
They're eeeting the dogs.
They're eeeting the cats.
They're eeeting the pets,
of the people who live there.

I would go with the laughing , maybe a Bond villain type laugh .....

Or blow them a kiss

And if they call you something that rhymes with banker say ....

Shame your father wasn't - usually takes them a minute or two to work it out :-)

There are just some who hide behind the idea that they can say what they like to you and feel safe due  the thought that you cannot retaliate with out consequences. In many countries they would watch there Ps and Qs and say nothing.

Don't you just love our bypassers.
I work one town that gives me 10 times the grief of any other town.
I bollard the area and laugh at how many ignore safety.
I suggest to them it might not be a very good idea to ignore and that I must warn you you are in a hazardous area and I would prefer you not to place yourself or I in more of a risk than is necessary.
Most carry on and walk past. "oops did you get a little wet I think to myself as they walk past"
we all get them

Yes!!
I was working on a house and my hose was about 2inches over the next doors drive ( wich she wasnt in)
Just as i was finishing the job the last pulled on her drive and parked on my hose.
So i asked her politely to move a few inch forward.
She then bombarded me with a lot of abuse about how it was her land and im trying to make window cleaning look posh etc :o

So i simply said, either move it or i will put my toe rope on your car and drag it out of the way.

Some people just dont enjoy their lives

I keep a jack in the van.
One fella parked on my hose. Said I was in his space, cause it was outside his crappy little house (no drive or anything) the road was his and he wouldn't move till he was ready.
I had to go and collect a few so toddled off.
Funny enough, when I got back to the van he'd moved.
