Back in June I fitted an alarm for my mates daughter,her husband,s a complete tool and wants everything for nothing,anyway I did a basic no frills system for them at cost price,while I was there I changed an energy saving pendant for an ordinary one as he couldn't find anywhere that sold the lamps! Today I got a call that the alarm was broke and the light had a fault as well,I went round and the idiot starts giving it large that he,d set the alarm off accidentally and couldn't hear it in the house,I explained this was because the panel was in a cupboard and he didn,t want to pay for an internal siren,he then started moaning that none of his neighbours had come rushing around when the alarm went off,so that,s my fault I suppose.We then got onto the faulty light fitting,which turned out to be a blown lamp,he moaned at this because "that bulb hasn,t been in 5 minutes", it was the bulb I put in back in June and then it came out of another fitting,I had a really hard time controlling the urge to strangle the idiot,and of course it was a favour for a mate so I didn,t even have the satisfaction of sticking him with a big bill.

stop doing it to yourself mate.....

next time he wants anything (a few spring to mind here)...tell em to f**k off...
 
Jeez I moan at lack of payment from mates...but I get so much appreciation its kind of worth it. If a mate moaned at me after id rip it back out.
 
It,s my mates daughter,she married this complete knob,every house in the street had been broken in except theirs,always done at night and she was terrified yet her husband still insisted on leaving her and their two babies for the weekend while he went abroad for a stag do.Hence me having to do the alarm.
