Re: Waiting in for Nowt!
 

Leave a note in the window saying " sorry I was out when you called......please call back tomorrow at 2pm to gain access" :D:D:D

Re: Waiting in for Nowt!
 

Time to play them at there own game.

Re: Waiting in for Nowt!
 

Well guess what!
You got it.
They didn't turn up.
This really is one of my pet hates when people say they are going to do something then don't.
It really is the height of bad manners.

Re: Waiting in for Nowt!
 

You and me both Anne......:mad::mad: I hate people that say they will come then don't after you have waited in..........:(

And lateness.............that is MY MOST hated thing ever!!!! I bloody hate lateness. I'm never late, therefor others shouldn't be.

Re: Waiting in for Nowt!
 

Well i just rang them to find out what the hell went wrong was told its not the gas company changing it but united utilities so i rang them and they said they had been but nobody was in:mad: i told them i stopped in all day and nobody called he said they did call and do i have a red door er NO i dont have a red door its wood colour Ho he must have gone to the wrong house,
i said yes he must :mad:
so now they are going to come on the 27th 8am to 12 noon this time but will ring when they are on there way .
well if i am in they can change the meter if not then they will have to call back again but i am not waiting in for them

Re: Waiting in for Nowt!
 

I don't blame you Mick.....Like I said up there ^^^

Leave a sign in your window saying " sorry I was out when you called, please make another appointment to gain access".:mad:

Re: Waiting in for Nowt!
 

what gets me is they can send a letter to this address but cant get the right house to do the work:confused:

Re: Waiting in for Nowt!
 

Oh gawd i've got all this to come again on tues with meter man [so hope they get it right as got docs appointment in afternoon & i definately booked morning :eek:, whats betting its afternoon.

Re: Waiting in for Nowt!
 

Well they could turn up at 5 to 8 Mick :D

Re: Waiting in for Nowt!
 

I bet they went to that empty house !! :D

Re: Waiting in for Nowt!
 

I have had the same problem with these planks and when it comes to rebooking its on my terms. If I am dayshift it will have to be between 16:00 & 1800 if backshift it will be between 11:00 & 13:00. If they dont like it tough as twice I played by there rules and twice no show. Like Mick I will get the bams to phone as they reckon they couldnt get an answer at any of the residents in the block to open the security door.

[QUOTE=mick;384122] do i have a red door er NO i dont have a red door its wood colour Ho he must have gone to the wrong house,

Don't believe this for one minute Mick, just a clever excuse that they are trained to offer, as they can bet most people don't have red doors.

Re: Waiting in for Nowt!
 

[QUOTE=katex;384296]Or coincidently, if you do have a red door, you would half believe them, sounds feasible, ? Get my drift ?

Re: Waiting in for Nowt!
 

I really dont believe this after the problems with the meter not being changed and staying in all day i phoned united utilities and made a appointment with them to come on the 27th between 8am and 12 noon they said fine and they would ring when they were on there way so all was set .right WRONG
This morning i get a letter "we will be calling to update your gas meter on the 5/3/07 between 8am and 8pm":mad: :mad:
what was the point in me phoning them to make an appointment and then they go and change the date and time :mad:

Re: Waiting in for Nowt!
 

I'd phone them back Mick the department that sent the letter will be different to the call centre, its unreasonable for them to expect you to wait in from 8am-8pm again.
