Re: Pompass Ass's


You know, I was just about to fire back at that comment about plumbers being the next level of pompous ass's. But then I read the comment about the years of training and then having to deal with idiots who think they know more than the pro who been learning/doing it for years. Maybe we are worse than electricians and for all the same reasons .

Actually getting back on track, Archeteckers are the biggest pompous asses of anybody in the construction field. Bar none...

Although on commercial sites with hords of union electricians lets just say they don't apprear to have the same work ethic as most others.
You are right on the money with your reply, I have met more union "Whiners" in the midwest then ever. But don't get me wrong, I have also seen some good tradesmen who care more about getting the job done effectively & efficiantly rather than worring about "How long till break?" I have more respect for the person (Journeyman) who gets in the trench with the helper than standing & watching while "leaning" on a shovel.

Re: Pompass Ass's


Got a call from an electrician, (I was working as a service tech for a pool, spa, fitness dealer) He's lettin me have it cause the P.O.S. hot tub he just hooked up is trippin the GFI breaker. I calmly explained that he possibly miswired the breaker. I was called just about every name you could think of. "I've been a union electrician when you were in diapers!!"
(leavin the fancy 4 letter words out of that quote)
Double check your load neutral, call me back if you still have a problem.
That was the last I heard from him.
