TRADE CONFESSIONS

Painting the customers downstairs loo and it was the only thing I was doing so was in and out between drying times. Came pack in to pad some filler down and as I walked in I was welcomed with a half naked lady who decided she didn’t want to go upstairs or lock the door. We didn’t speak for the rest of the job

Kilted painter

The customer was a bit padantic.. now I Don't remember the exact numbers he came with. But he asked me to keep the radio at 6 decibels.. then informed me that a leaf falling was 1 decibel. I said I certainly hope 7 leaves don't fall at once. He did not appreciate my humor

I once left site and put all my kit in a shed ... I got home and about 2 hours later I have a phone call from my manager panicking. Apparently a young boy had been in the paint shed and got opaque oil base brown ( i was painting fences) all over him . I went to see and the little lad .. maybe 6 or 7 had brown arms from above his elbows down to his fingers , it was all over his clothes, his mother sa8d it was everywhere in the flat , bath was ruined all over the tiles and floor. I had never ever seen nothing like it , before or after 🤣🤣😅.... I give the mum a bottle or turps and said the boy had no place being in the work shed. Im sorry .. see you later 😆🤣🤣. I have a photo somewhere 😅
