Well, here I am, just finished one of my custys gaffs. Nice place, ditzy bitch of a custard. She left just now and closed the security gates with me still parked her drive. No mobile number, neighbours dont have a key. Looks like im buggered for the rest of the day. Should i force the gates?
-
Have you tried driving up to the gates? Some open automatically
-
if that fails there should be a switch on your side of the gates.
is their a number to ring the gate people?
-

i have and no luck.
-
Is it a sliding gate or one that open a 90 dagrees
-
Its a 90 degree jobbie, no switch anywhere, would hardly be a security gate if there was a switch on it!
-
i hope she's not gone for her hair doing, :-\ can be hours getting the colours on.
she will hopefully remember and come back
there are manual overides on 'your' side, i know cos we used to have one where i lived. but maybe not in this case.
-

Do the gutters need emptying whilst you are there? ;D
Is there anyway to isolate the power as some gates can be opened if the power fails?

-
Sorry matt but ive never laughed so much to a thread, ive just been choken on my sandwich (chicken and pickle) I got tears in my eyes and also noy got the hiccups.
:) :) :) :)
-
Some people do anything to get some time off work...lol....just hope she hasn't gone away for her annual holiday ;D
-
Ah ya numptys!! ;D
Anyway Im out, they let me out, Im at home now, safe and sound.
She turned up just as I posted that last thread.
A rather limited apology actually, emabarrased but it seems one of her neighbours rang her, but she said that she had a few things to do in town and did I understand?
Asked if perhaps I had taken the time to have my lunch and that she'd see me just before christmas.
Maybe she will, but theres gonna be a conversation with her before that time about cost. She wasted an 1 hour and 45 minutes work time today, even after knowing I was sat there waiting, and no offer of recompense.
DID I UNDERSTAND??
Do i look like Im understanding?
-
Now what happened to that driving instructor thread?
-
wet meself laughing so much.
mat you are a star,it could only happen to you. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
ive got a few posh ones with the electric gates.cant u get the code number?i have a few.if their not in when im round i just punch the number in and clean away!!take it on the chin matt.just one of those days!!
-
you poor bugger! glad you got out!
-
just hope its a good job mate if it was me ide be gone awole for xmas :(
-
Did you check the shed to if she had a gardner locked in there :D
-
Unfortunately it was one of those gates you open with an electrical fob, so no code or keypad.
It is a well paid job, in my top 10% of hourly rate, the sort of money where you really really hope they aren't in when you do them, or arent still there when youve finished; but the woman is ditzy, she always has been and I think she always will be.
I couldnt bring myself to be nice though when she finally turned up, Im the sort who dont tolerate fools gladly, even if I have made some almighty cock-ups in my life anyway.
-
I'd keep her and wait to see if she tips you really well at Christmas.
-
She gave me a Toblerone for christmas last year ;D
Her old man is an orthopedic surgeon in the local hospital, theyre not short of a penny.

-
Make sure you get her mobile number so if she locks you in again you can buzz her back straight away. ;D
I've got mobile numbers for some of my dippy customers who forget to switch the alarms off on their window frames when I'm window cleaning so I can have the pleasure of informing them I've set their alarms off ;D
-
