Every year when the weather gets like this 105-110 H.I., I think of maybe the worst customer I ever had.
About 30 years ago, I was laying over 100 yards of carpet in a house by myself. Old house, no A/C., windows painted shut. Thought I was invincible. Well over 100 degrees in the house when I got there. Sometime in the afternoon, I crawled into the last closet. Later on, I woke up. I had passed out. I managed to load my tools and drive home. Next day, I went to a Dr. He told me I had probably had a heatstroke. Heat has bothered me every since like he said it would.
Now, to get to the customer. When I called them and told them what happened and that I would be back the next day to finish that closet, they went ballistic because I had not finished the house. I did go back and finish and got paid, but the attitude, even then was hateful because I didn't finish that one closet.(it was an unoccupied house)
Any memorable jerks you ever worked for?
