    Why when you sub to a shop does nothing go right.. first job I take tool box in go back out to get brush and get greeted by the woman who just let me in screaming at me for stealing her cheese sandwich while trying to calm her down and explain I dont even like cheese while still trying to understand what the **** is going on she picks up a fork and screams at me shes going to stab me in the eye right im off quick exit out but ****e I left my tool box in there so shop agreed they would get it and meet me on next job, second job with only a knife with me I go to fit what I preped yesterday after stopping for quick fag I go back in to find end of my knife broke off bit weird as im the only one working in the house and I was at the van. So phone shop to bring tools to 3rd job a carpet strip up I can do that with no tools to start with, only to be greeted by a rancid smack head living in the most dog **** horrible place ive ever seen sod it im gone so after refusing to do it and tools back I head back to 2nd job to lay tarkett safetred tiles so while waiting for glue to go off I start reading the back of the tile box where it states to lay tiles with all arrows same way ok but put the arrows on you muppets. back home and the mrs thinks its funny oh well tomorrow can only get better

    bit like my day mate a monster 9.5 x 5m up a spiral staircase weighing 140 kilos only to find the hole at the top of the stairs was smaller than the size of the carpet. The windows wouldnt open far enough to accomadate the carpet and to top it off a forklift cant get near the house for bushes another day of zero money

    oh id love to be a estimator for a day and offer false promises

    I used to literally have nightmares when I subbed, turning up to the shop and not knowing what was going to face you that day did my head in. Managed 10 years, not had to sub at all for the last 22, never again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
