Being a tradesman is a special job, and it comes with many special moments that you can only understand if you’re in the trade!
Here’s the top 13 truths from a poll of some of our customers:
1) You think no-one in any other trade works as hard as you…
2) Your trade makes its way in to your dreams, and you wake up thinking you’re owed a couple of hours of labour…
3) You’ve had to go through the pain and torture of drinking a terrible cup of tea more times than you’d like to remember…
4) You have a special bond with your tools, and nothing will come between you!
5) You’ve walked in to a job and literally had no other words but WTF?
6) Having a captive audience whilst you work is simply part of the job.
7) You could pinpoint on a map the location of every McDonald’s drive through in a five-mile radius.
8) Your reaction when you get a call on a weekend…
9) You have a ready prepared answer for the question “How’s business?”
10) No matter what the price you quote, and whatever deal you do, the reaction to the invoice is always the same…
11) “My Uncle/Brother/Next Door Neighbour once did a plumbing course, and he thinks it’s this…”
12) You’ve played a joke on a fellow tradesman that went way too far…
13) But hey you’re a tradesman, and sometimes you’re allowed an off day!
Hope you had a good giggle!
