    Ok sorry misleading title;)



    I am major pissed off.

    Got carpet layed this morning. Great, lovely carpet etc. Guy leaves after fitting it and I notice water pissing into my sitting room:eek:

    Check out the rad in bedroom and its leaking badly from the pipe. Ring carpet guy, he comes back and checks it and says 'eh missus I wasn't near that pipe', so Im like GTFO. He eventually admits it was him:rolleyes: and I ring a plumber and carpet guy agrees to pay.

    All good, plumber fixes it and all is well.

    No its not. Go to hoover carpet and I notice another leak from the other pipe. Yesterday was Fri the 13th , not today? The fucking idiot managed to burst the other pipe as well.

    Ring carpet guy and plumber. Carpet guy thinks this is a total wind up at this stage. Plumber comes back and replaces other pipe. Carpet guy is now down €200 for doing a quick nixer on Sat morn.

    Sorry, had to vent.

    Anyone else any crazy catastrophes happen in their gaffs?

    Thats all you need to know.

    Ring carpet guy and plumber. Carpet guy thinks this is a total wind up at this stage. Plumber comes back and replaces other pipe. Carpet guy is now down €200 for doing a quick nixer on Sat morn.

    You have two options here;

    1) Take out out a violin and play him a sad sweet tune before releasing him back into the wild, scott free.. :p

    or

    2) Tell the fucker to pay for all damages incurred. You had a leak-free house before he decided to take up the job, or he can answer to teh law. I like this one.

    A few twists and turns!
    Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh fell onto back garden woke up by my bulldog licking me face.
    not a scratch and no bones broken,just got up with a slight limp!
    "fukc that!" i said.

    I fit a carpet in a hallway in a mate of mines sisters house many years ago. It was one of these upstairs/downstairs flats and she lived downstairs. The carpet she had was rolled up in a ball in the shed so i knew i had my work cut out. 3 hours later and my head is melted. Anyway she's out the back garden hanging up some washing and i shout out to her. "All done, goodbye". What happens??? The front door won't open!! Fuk that for a game of soldiers i'm here the last 3 hours in what should have been 20 minutes. I poke my fat head out and notice she is gonna be out the back garden for at least another 5 mins or so. What do i do i'm thinking to myself. I notice the window open slightly ajar. The rest is history kids. Anyway i no longer fit carpets. To be fair she laughed about it and today i still get a bit of stick but i deserve it i suppose. Funny though

    Try spilling a plate of curry on your parents brand new cream carpet after being told not to spill it. That's a catastrophe.

    So did he pierce the pipes with the carpet tacks or just get pissed that they were in the way and try smack them with a hammer to see if they'd move?

    He somehow managed to knick both pipes with the stanley blade whilst trying to cut the carpet :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,766 ✭✭✭Reku


    :confused:
    Wouldn't have thought a stanley knife would cut metal piping that easily...
    :confused:

    Suppose if he's that clumsy you can just be thankful he didn't nick himself, leave you trying to scrub the blood out instead of trying to soak up water.
