The same thing I do to people who put up polls with the results hidden.

I have selected all the options.

If you don't like it, tough, I've had my fun, and that's all that matters.

Working women turn up late too sometimes. Blatant sexism in this poll!

People not being punctual should be shot at dawn .Not a minute after and not a minute before.

You can take 'workman' to mean all men or women who come to do work in your house. If your carpenters, plumbers, builders, electricians, plasterers and bricklayers are women, consider them included.

For me, though, this seems a particularly male form of narcissism: phoning someone and saying you'll be there, and then not phoning to say you're delayed. In America, they recognise it, and it's in the contract that money comes off the bill for every hour the job is late.

You could have that time watching Jeremy Kyle berating People less fortunate than you.

Ask them to give you their mobile. Smash it in front of them. :):):):)

Civil, nautical or astronomical dawn? You should also specify a location as dawn varies with latitude. Dawn can be over an hour long depending on where you are taking your observations.
No wonder workers can be late when we can't be arsed to be specific about times.

What would you do OP?

If they turn up the same day they're expected I'd consider it a bonus.

I'd get a new contractor and tell the guy who turned up late. If the original guy starts arguing he wants the work I'd ask what kind of money he's taking off the quoted price

Good point, and if it was myself I'd do the same. But unfortunately I ask this in the context of a neighbour in her late seventies who's got up early and waited in all day several times for a surly Scot who rings early to say he's coming, then doesn't arrive. She's too nice to do that.

Sorry im late , I had to go down the wholesalers to get the whatchamacllit and then the traffic was in ****e , there was a funeral blocking the road.

We had a situation once when I booked a chimney cleaner to come, I was out briefly but my husband was home. Knock at the door and a soot-blackened man stands there and says to hubby 'I'm cleaning chimneys' or something to that effect. Oh right, come in, says hubby, chimney is cleaned and man is paid and off he goes. I get home. Knock at door, second soot-blackened man stands there, I have come to clean the chimney he says. Oh right says I, come in. Hubby emerges, what's happening, he says. Its the chimney cleaner I said. But he came a little while ago, he just left, says husband. Sigh. And he really was not all that late.

Which is what???????????

As the poll results are hidden I wouldn't give a toss.

The Backwards Man

Circumstances can happen to anybody, I wouldn't be too annoyed if they weren't on time the first around, and I'd usually be easy going enough if it happened the second time.

I definitely wouldn't be annoyed at all if they were late a third time, in fact I'd be over the moon, because I'd be getting someone else who wants the job and dodged a useless cnut.

Knowing that profession count yourself lucky if they turn up on the same day.
