Yesterday I had a project to do at home. It was one of those vital make-or-break days. So of course the leaseholder chose that day to send along some cowboy painters to paint the exterior of the building and the communal hall.
First of all the leaseholders agent turned up. I had already disabled my CCTV triggers a notification on my phone as it kept buzzing as various people turned up to alert us and presumably warn us that they would be appearing on the scaffolding. They also needed to gain entry to the flat downstairs and to the hallway. It turns out they didn't have a key and neither did the agent. This should not have been more than a mild annoyance but because they were cowboys it turned out to occupy a lot of my time as I witnessed then taking my stepladder kept next to my front door in the hall, piss in my outside plantpots and various other cowboy builderer atrocitis. The hall carpet was supposed to be covered to prevent it getting paint on but instead it was taken up and dumped outside where it got wet as we had a few downpours that day...bold and italic text.
What counts as wasted hours?
