Just had one this morning..... Very nice part of North London. I'm outside stripping out / re installing terrible installed security lights etc .Job is priced .Next door pops around and asks if its possible to not make any noise between 12-2 as he needs to be online making a "presentation " To some company etc ..
Answer goes like this .."My rate per hour is xx etc . So are you happy to pay that rate in order for me to stop and then resume later , which adds to my day " ? His little face nearly burst into tears !!!!!!!!!! This is a wealthy area , he has a very nice classic TVR and a new Tesla etc . His brain fell apart trying to work out what to say . And of course....it was payment up front .No chance in hell am I going to trust someone who might just expects people to stop their work just to suit them ! These "work at home snowflakes" are very very "precious" when it comes to their world !
