Wife needs a slap!!lol

[Jay Sparks]

Just thought Id share this with you and see if any has had anything simular?


The other day the wife is filling some forms in for us both...it asks in one section, "whats your partners occupation?" The wife puts "Domestic electrician"!!!!
I said why have you put that??? She said well thats what you are, arent you? Cow bag!! The air turned blue as I explained what she had just called me.

Now she is a qualified nursery nurse, so I pointed out that it would be like me calling her a "Baby sitter"!!!lol

Anyway, she wont make that mistake again!!! She will now call me a "plumber" LOL.


So whats the worst someone has classed you as???? And I know you will all be tempted to to use faul language but please keep it firking civil!lol

Some old git called me a handyman on the phone to his son once!

 

[bigbaddave]

Ive had handyman off the in-laws once.. Cost me a rewire. The wanted an Electrician

 

[pennywise]

All the people I use to go to school with still call me a builder, I've given up correcting them, though I get quite a nice reaction from a mate who's a barrister when I call him a solicitor :tongue3:

 

[Doomed]

Called called a caretaker once

 

[Guitarist]

Not so much what they call you, but how they do it... When friends arrive.
"Oh don't mind him, he's just the electrician come to sort out a small problem with the wiring thingymajigs. Shouldn't take him long..."

Called called a caretaker once

I've been called many things by many folk in my lifetime - some nice things, some not-so-nice things and some downright .... well, you get the picture - but I've never had the indignity of being called a caretaker !!!

You have my deepest sympathy.

'We've got the workmen in' is a common comment from self appointed upper class old bags of a certain age......

When I get that as they're normally knocking around In a large house after their husbands die, I stand quite close in the next room on the phone to a mate and say loudly. "yes mate not too bad today, just working on one of those tiny little houses down the road" it tweaks a nerve

 

[wildgoose]

Been called 'The Maintainance Man'.

Also had a pompous retired mechanical engineer, actually say to me "your job can't be that difficult can it - red to red & and black to black, so don't try to make out it's any more complicated".

Such an ignorant deluded man!

Not so much getting called something but an example of how very blonde my daughter is (come to think of it we've not had one of these in a while)
Daughter (on phone) Dad I'm getting a new cooker, will you be able to fit it?
Me, Is it gas because you're supposed to get a registered guy out to do that but no problem, you're uncle Rick(gas fitter mate) owes me a couple of favours
Daughter, No Dad an electric one, I don't like gas cookers
Me, Of course then. No problem.
Daughter, You can do it properly though can't you?
After all the work she's seen me do over the years at home and for family.............

That's a bit like my late Mum.

Dad wouldn't have central heating or a gas fire in the house. He insisted on an open fire burning smokeless coalite, and it was his job to clean it out and light it etc.

After he died, Mum couldn't manage it, so I offered to fit central heating for her. She refused because "Your Dad didn't like central heating" !!! So I persuaded her to let me fit a gas fire in the place of the open fire, and a gas heater in the hallway.

I was halfway through fitting the gas fire, when she said: "You shouldn't be doing that - you should get a man to do it" and there I was,doing the job I was trained and qualified to do and which I did most days of the week for other folk, and I had my CORGI card in my wallet ...............

Like above, Maintainance Man & Handyman are the most common ones i've been called. I quite get often called my dads son, which is fine because he did get alot of the older clients i have and start up the business from nothing many years ago...would quite like to be called my own name from time to time though now a days...still can't complain on that one though.

Funny story though...recently a client of mine said "Mark, have you been watching that new BBC comedy program 'White Van Man' ?" I said No, she then said "Oh, well you should it's really funny and the guy reminds me of you"

Thought right okay, got home, went on iPlayer...and had a watch and then realised what a complete insult it was lol! Although i did proceed to watch the program, because did find it rather funny.

Was asked if i was an electioneer once.....she was getting on a bit, though.

 

[markc123]

The biggest insult though comes when they don't offer you a brew and you have to start dropping sly little hints.

Could have been worse ..... she could have asked if you had an erection.

 

[ipf]
