I'm writing a blog post on the weird things customers happen to moan about.
Can you help me out with your "wrongest" ever complaint?

I once got told not to return to a site where I was working" because the lights not longer worked". I tried to point out that the lady had engaged me specifically to remove the lights but she wouldn't have any of it as I "should have known better" that it would make the extension dark and I should have told her in advance !
She was South AfricanSome people genuinely come from another planet.
I once had a call from a customer 3 years after I changed a consumer unit for her. She explained that the sockets were tripping off and I needed to come and sort it out.
I quoted her my hourly rates and she went bonkers "I'm not paying you a penny, you need to come and sort it out for free."
I explained that I offer a years free service after any work but it had been over three years now and any fault finding work would be chargeable.
"But you put them trip thingies in and it's them that's tripping it off, so it's your fault. If you hadn't put them they wouldn't be tripping and I'd still have power"
It turned out to be a dodgy socket front. She gladly paid me once shown it.
I do hope building control didn't get a phone call explaining they were demanding false paperwork for substandard DIY work.The only time I've ever been ejected from a house was by a couple because I wouldn't falsify a PIR. One of them had wired an extension themselves and the council wouldn't sign it off
We're clearly on the same page. They initially refused to pay me so I emailed them and asked them if they wanted a copy of the report I was going to write sending to BC. Paid the same day and emailed to inform me there was no need!I do hope building control didn't get a phone call explaining they were demanding false paperwork for substandard DIY work.
