ECN Forum Forums General Topics of the Trade General Discussion Area What is your pet peeve?

Illegiable writing on permit app's; people who don't press hard enough to get thru the carbon copies, and EC's who don't put the floor/suite number on permit app's. Darn 15 story bldg....3 outlets, NO CLUE what tenant.

As an EC, having all outside jobs on a nasty rainy day.

Fast-track.............

3 weeks to rock, 5 weeks of work for a crew of five you have 2, fixtures 4 weeks out, 3 changes a day, you finish as the the tapers start.

BP 210, eight hours a day, five days a week, 64 oz of coffee, and pack o'smokes!

Crawling through a roof-cavity (running a wire) in Melbourne Aust. Hacking a path in the thick cobwebs with my torch and my Poisonous Spider Identification book in my overalls pocket. Yeesh ! !

Hey mustang that reminds me ...... dern I forgot what it reminds me of.

Hey KIWI...I hope you mean FLASHLIGHT when you say TORCH!..Some friends of mine from England say the same thing!

Just joking!

Slobs and smokers. Sorry for the redundancy.

...and wearing sweats.

Customers that want to supply their own materials to save money. Like supplying that cheap $10 motion light and expecting me to make it work properly.

Fireproofing, that stuff itches.
They spray it over the Jbox and you got to dig 2 inches of it out.

Space heaters. The county where I work has refused to adapt a policy about space heaters. So when they trip breakers over and over again I have to reset them.

People that say "I can get it cheaper at Home Depot"
