Nothing worse, had a client tell me that 'it's a weeks work' I immediately thought how the feck do you know!
It's like they already know how much it should be. Try and swerve them tbh, my price actually goes up when I hear it

Or when you're pricing a job and they say I have an other plasterer calling. I all ways think to myself ok your a Nob. Still not doing it for less
 
"Ooh while you got that bit of cement there , you could'nt just????"
Only nice clients get little extras , piss takers or penny pinching only receive fines attached to the price knowing there game.
I generally sniff these folk out and the masters at it constantly change tradesman to avoid getting caught out on the next job to be done, so it's all a game that only experience will keep you safe. Fkin cants:birras:
 
Ive even had builders say that! I'm like how u work that out wen it takes 2-3 hours for skim to go off then uve got prep work to go with it..

I had a contracts manager once in the office say to me "it'll only take a few minutes to patch, it's only a c**t full, but what I've heard about your missus that's a bucketful" in front of secretary, boss and his wife, I promptly went for him and he run off! He got sacked the next week!

So was he right? ;)
 
I was doing a job recently, plenty of running about fcuking about grabbing stuff that he needed. Weighed in at 11.30 and perped for 20mins then had to pop out again with him. He had the cheek to ask was my hourly rate started yet lol. Think he was wanting to pay me half a day!

To be fair he must of heard me say that joke I've said it a few times and it's never been taken the wrong way but I'm not say in a office :) one of the benefits of working for yourself you can tell anyone to get to f**k :)
 
He was a complete , just the icing on the cake, and two females were present so it kind of grated me, the gaffer sacked him for telling constant lies,I'm thick skinned, but I do work for myself now!
