Just been to a job to get paid and the spark comes out and shouts can I have a word and walks off. So I said who with me or the builder he goes you , the plasterer. So I go in and he takes me up to a socket and says youve cut the cable too short and I cant get the cover to line up with the backbox (its next to another socket and the earth is going inbetween). So I look at him and said well you left too much out and I had to cut them coz they need to go into the backbox. I said" look Ive not done this malliciously" to try and keep it civil "but you left them too long.
He says well we normally leave em about 8" with his hands and other plasterers manage!
Cheeky t**t so I said, "you left em too long and how do I get 4 cables that where 1ft long each into a single back box?" 4 of them out of another back box had writing on em at the end! They were lucky that I wrote back on them, others would have just cut them. So I just said see ya and when Im leaving he says "you'll know for next time!" So I said "yeh and next time you'll know to cut them to the right length"
WTF do sparks think they are! If I thought that someone would just cut my cables and would cause me problems I'd have sorted them myself! Next they'll want their arse wiping and spoon feeding.
