11) Can you give me a better price? I'll have a lot of work for you in the future if you give me a good, fair price today.

Um, sure lady... try saying that next time your fat ass goes to McDonald's and see if they give you a good price based on repeat business.

12) Can you do it like this? We saw them do it like that on TV.

13) "I'm GC'ing this job (HO) so I'll be guiding you on how to do what I want done.

Oh, well in that case

18. Can you do this without getting permit so I can save money?

I like the ones that want to follow you around trying to help. In addition, they constantly tell you how they think it should be done costing you even more time and aggravation.

Of course I want it today. If I wanted it tomorrow, I'd call you tomorrow.

10 minutes ago:

30) "The original company that did the installation for the house 5 years ago said this additional stuff would only cost $1500. Why is yours $4000?"

The original company went out of business 4 years ago and they didn't install everything that they said they were going to install in order to support the new things the HO wants. Now I'm looking like the bad guy.

51) It's your fault, the washing machine always worked before you were here (the washing machine died 2 months after we worked there).


Customer: Just put a register in the duct (above the furnace in the garage) and we will close off the outside air vents, then our son can live in the garage.

Me: Why do you want me to help you kill your son?

Magnettica

Sorry, we don't have enough money to upgrade the service because we spent it all on the new electric range and and electric HWH.

Now that the walls are painted and the trim is on, can we add a plug-in here and here, and a two-way switch for this light?
