people won’t want to do work for you if you constantly tell them how to do their job.
My mother’s neighbour is like that. She had a plumber and an electrician in and both said they’d never work in the guys house again, having been harassed for two full working days about every detail.

Ha, unreal. I do hate it when someone watches you on a job your doing but cant say well if you know what your doing why aint you doing it.

On the flip side of the tradesperson chat, just been over to see the in-laws. FIL is an ex-cabinetmaker so has some affinity with the trades. He was describing how he basically turned up the office of the firm he wanted to quote for the job doing their bathroom. It’s funded by the council as part of an accessibility grant and they specialise in doing these alterations. So far so good.
It becomes less good when it turns out he rocked up with loads of random bits of paper with product names and codes for things that the firm don’t supply. He wants to fiddle with every aspect of the job, and is now a bit stumped as to why they’ve told him they’re not interested in even quoting, lol.
I feel for the guy, but I just can’t seem to get through to him that people won’t want to do work for you if you constantly tell them how to do their job.
