What really winds you up in your line of work!

My other line of work, i do car detailing.

"ha, mate, i'll bring mine round and you can do that as well, ha"
Customer who own prestige cars then moan about how much parts cost are probably one of the worse. Or there is a fault with my car but i do i want you road testing it. Because they dont trust you to drive there 40hp micra.

"it's exactly the same as this but.... "

that one grinds my gears
"you can't do that"

This is the one thing that winds me up!!! I know exactly what I can and can't do legally, do not think that because your mate studies law or your a facebook armchair lawyer that you know better than me.
"you haven't taught us this"

Generally the word peadophile too. Everything and everyone is a paedophile to some children!
"it's just a small hole that needs a patch welding over it"
"this isnt my responsibility"

when someone cant be bothered to do something and there isnt anyone who actually is responsible for it! it still needs doing people!
These are brilliant!
'Can you just tell me the command you're using'...

Does my nut in! There's a reason you don't know said command, it's usually because you don't understand what needs doing!
My mate had a look and he says it's...

Invariably meaning, my mate knows f*ck all and would have fixed it if he did.

This is the same as "It's not in my/our remit"
"does that mean I can go home now"

nigh on every time something is broke at work you'll get that clever remark from someone.
"But it's just that part i want"

Get this all the time when customers don't understand we sell the hole thing for example hole mirror for 2010 insignia "but I just need the glass " :-#  go on eBay 

:-)
When I ask a member of staff to do something remotely complicated:

"I've never been shown how to do that"

Even though I've shown them 3 or 4 times in the last
People at work who say "I really must get onto that". Invariably weeks slip by and they don't do it (but they keep saying they need to do it), then it becomes urgent and everyone else has to pitch in to get it sorted in minimal time.

If you know you need to do it...just f***ing do it!
Can you play some Oasis mate?
When window cleaning:

"You missed a bit"

"When you've finished, want to clean my car"

When spannering:

"My car is making a strange noise, do you have any idea what it might be?"

When on Facebook:

"Whats the best turbo....?"

Can you play wonderwall?




I get "can you just throw together a quick calc, it'll only take like 5 mins"  usually asked by a project manager who has little knowledge of engineering. Also means that the 5 min calc which isn't checked over will probably be either wrong or over engineered both of which ends up being the engineers fault
