Trouble magnet

Welcome back viewers.

Working away laying bricks today, minding my own business.
Dum dee dee dee dumm.
Happy in my own little world.........

Then this guy, who I heard doing something inside the house comes over and said " dont take this the wrong way " then tells me I have to lock up the house before I go.

But I dont open the house....... said I!!

Just make sure you lock it as you leave!!

But I dont unlock it!!

Then we get into this full blown argument as to how the house gets unlocked.
I dont even have a key to this house. :confused:

He then starts waveing this key hole saw at me in a threatening manner.

Hmmmmmm, mines bigger than yours thinks Al, looking at the trowel in his hand.

Anyway he went off swearing and curseing at the poor brickie still trying to mind his own business.

Anyway, he set off in a big show of skidding wheels in his ute.
Funny how they are always tough when they are driveing away??

Hi Al,

And the moral of the story is...

Don't trust burglars!

Cheers!

Wasn't that something like in a Monty Python :confused:

Run away BRAVELY

Al,
he wasn't spinning his wheels to be tough, he was in a hurry because he had an appointment to take a dump next to a dumpster

I fully sympathise with Al, been caught in a similar mess myself. And got taken to court over it!!

I was doing some fencing on a new home site, 'twas coming up to 5 o'clock and all I had to do was give the palings a haircut with the ol' TS. 2 or 3 tradies who'd been fitting out inside all took off in their respective cars and about 1/2 an hour later I followed suit. A fortnight later I was served a summons, following it up it turned out that one of the tradies that day had been installing kitchen appliances... which'd gone walkabout that night. Apparently the house hadn't been locked up when they left!

Of course, the site mgr went around the tradies trying to find someone to blame and they all swore affadavits that I'd been the last to leave and hence was responsible... even though I had nothing to do with the house per se, only the bloody fence!

I didn't attend court, although I hired a mouthpiece and was cleared of all responsibility. Apparently the magistrate thought the whole thing a waste of everyone's time and really went through the site mgr. I wish I had been there. Needless to say my bill for the fence included a few extra sundries over'n'above my initial quote... it was paid in full without a single query!

al, if you'da been wearing your foily he'd a KNOWN you're a nutter, especially if you humped that monkey toy of yours - thus he would not go anywhere near you... I think that Sydney is far enough (Insert raspberry noise here)

I found once a suitable defence was in one case to wind up the whack-o-meter meself; I was accosted by some idiot depriving his village once so when he started to go off at me I pretended not to know english, when he started to get a bit hot under the collar I started to foam at the mouth at him in me native tongue in a very loud and agressive voice (A bit like that whacko on the teev that yells "Hallo, HAllo, HALLOOO!!!) and he backed down pretty quickly, ahh.....

G'Day All,

Have had sort of similar experiences myself although not on building sites, (Retail Butcher by trade) had the odd person come in the shop with a complaint and all to willing to help them but they seemed set on an arguement. (they don't seem right in the head) As I'm standing there with tools designed specifically for cutting flesh and bone, and they want to have a blue, then storm out cursing!!...??...I know generally butchers have a reputation for being smart a#$e's, but you can't please everyone!....No matter how much you try!...And some you can't please at all, let alone reason with them.

Was at the Local Fisherman's co-op some months back when a Well dressed woman asked for 12 green prawns , he weighed the 12 prawns and began to wrap them up when she complained that she didn't want the heads just the prawns.so he took the heads off and wraped them up .She said she wasnt paying for that , I'm only paying for the prawns, demanded to see the manager , he replied that he was the manager , you just work here she says he replied that thats why its called a co-op we all work her madam , thats how we sell prawns and if she didn't like that them that was ok , and called the next number to be served .
She muttered she would never come here again, complained all the way to the door getting lowder as she neered the door got into her BMW and left.
