Walked off a job in early November coz the customer 'run out of money', only telling me AFTER I'd lumped out quite a bit of dough for THEIR materials. Got promised at the time that I would be paid the money what is owed (labour and materials) by the 16th of this month. Then on the 16th I was told definitely before Christmas, finally got an email yesterday evening asking if they can pay it off in installments into the new year with a bit more on top??? I think they think I'm the fuckin catalogue!!!!!
Bet they ain't scrimping over Christmas though the parasites
Wait till they are all asleep on Christmas Eve and burn their house down while they sleep
I'd need to build it for em first, they're living in the garden in a caravan. Probably burn better
Winner, alot easier to block all exits on a caravan than a house

Sorry to hear that, mate. That's pretty fecking nasty, and something that scares the shit out of me personally. There's far too many chancers and gamblers out and about.
Over the summer I spent about 7 weeks working for that kind of chap - he knew the right people and had a fairly decent idea - but he was trying to go it alone in an old-school type of industry. By the end of the work I was beginning to realise that the cheeky bastard definitely didn't have access to the funds he claimed he did, that he was taking a gamble on flogging the work I'd done for him before it was even finished.
That very nearly ended up with me going under on my first actual bit of business! In a funny turn of events though, I ended up getting paid up in full about 4 weeks later.. and he never even asked for the shit I'd built for him. Fuck going through that hassle and aggro in December and over Christmas though. Pretty shitty.

I often stump up money to keep things moving on most jobs and my Mrs is always nagging me not to do it because, as she says, there's always people like this couple who take the piss without even realising it. I even got an email from the woman asking when I was gonna drop in to collect my bottle of wine they got me for Christmas!
Sooner I can get away from contract work the better, I've always hated it. Once my little workshop is up and running, I'll be designing and making bits to sell on and maybe the odd commissioned piece here and there, but it will hopefully be more straightforward transactions...

Surely the fact that they live in a caravan would have tipped you off that they were gonna fleece you?

Initially you'd think that, but when I see the gaff they were having built, you'd think they'd be good for the dough
Just nipped out to do the last of my Christmas shopping, cards and stocking fillers mainly. F*ck me, it's awful out there.
- Buses. The amount of these utter tossers who jump red lights is astonishing; regularly outside Bromley South (Yeah, by the poxy Police Station.) and even up by Market Square. Normally I don't particularly mind, but come on.. on one of the busiest shopping days of the year on a road that goes through a pedestrianised town center?
- Wanky parents. I've had to squeeze and contort myself around so many kids that I'm fairly certain I could get a job at the BBC. Icing on the cake was one nearly getting knocked around the head with my shopping bag. It's not his fault, but when I have kids I'd like to think I'd be pretty protective over them.
My local pub being infested with the once-a-year drinkers. Looks like the combined cast of Made In Chelsea, Geordie Shore, The Only Way Is Essex and everyone who was rejected from these shows for being too much of a Knut is in here. Can't wait til they piss off back to the University of Upper East Durham (formerly Pennis Polytechnic).
Wrapping - if you want to see an absolute abomination of someone trying to attempt to wrap presents, get yourself over to forest hill in the next hour or so
The stupid strip of fabric that hotels insist on putting across the bottom of the bed for absolutely no purpose at all other than to fall off in the night.
The amount of cable ties, screws and wire twists holding a toy in a box. Not only did my daughter get a new toy, she also got an enhanced vocabulary of about 300 swear words
The absolute pile of donkey shit TV served up yesterday and today. Why is nearly everything on the BBC a "Christmas special" of the crap they churn out through the year? Just stick a pissing film on ffs
Our telephone / Internet provider not being able to supply a consistent service for any longer than 6 month over the last nearly 5 years. We're now resigned to only being connect for 9 - 10 month a year, but paying for 12..

....so then I go on BBC news to read the match report and check out the news and I gotta endure ADVERTS. Obviously the Licence moneystealth tax weren't enough to cover that DR Who and what a load of shit that was.....

I went 6 years without a telly, 6 years of bliss, only ended up with one coz my Mrs was given it. ffs
motorway service stations. how the hell are they allowed to get away with what they charge? 128.9p for a litre of unleaded today at clacket lane. I just put in enough to get me home where it only costs 111.9

This but hotel duvets in general that are spread so tightly across the bed it is nearly impossible to get underneath it. Once under, it literally pins you to the mattress!

Out on parole now or did you serve the full 6 year sentence?
Adverts where the public school Oxbridge cocaine sniffing twunts who created it obviously thought "I know what will appeal to working class people... Whistling in the background"

I've been locked out of an online account this evening which will be a real inconvenience until I can get back in next year.
