    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?

    He eventually admits it was him:rolleyes:
    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.

    my sky tv dish wasnt aligned a couple of months ago so i decided to go up 45ft to the dish on chimney breast.
    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.
    called sky to do it and fixed in ten mins,€40 it cost:o
    should i have gone up there in the first place????

    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.
