Finishing off a full heating today. The builder arrived to do making good and airing cupboard shelves. As he greets the tenant he says nice and loudly "when's the baby due then?!".... Stunned silence. She's not pregnant just a bit chunky!
she went mental! Threw him out and then proceeded to cry for the best part of 2 hours. I had to hide upstairs because I was in danger of soiling myself with laughter! #awkward!

She must be in complete shock.

but in some cases a good shiiite can help shift 4 or 5 pound

How about this one ......
Removed a wet wipe from the sani and found lady customer in the kitchen but when I told her what I had found she went all ballistic "Can`t be we don`t use them!" and burst in tears like I haven`t seen a women cry for years, still crying she rings hubby telling him to come home, don`t know what he said but she agreed best to go for a walk in the park.

Still sobbing she tells me "Sorry, I lost my baby the other week and ....." I said I was sorry for her loss etc etc and understood she was emotional and still upset. End result was making her a cup of tea and listening for 30 mins before I could make good my escape where she gave me a hug for being understanding. 30 minutes of my life gone but worthwhile all the same.

I had a great "pleasure" of trying to sort out someone's marriage and mother-in-law woes for what seemed like a couple of hours while stevetheplumber managed to escape upstairs..

I rang a customer last year, said to the male voice is the Mr ..... got a reply, no dad is dead, he died an hour ago, I'll get mum for you............................................
spent 40 minutes on the phone to a nice lady going into shock..................... I gather she is now on the road to getting over the whole rather nasty incident. Took me a while to gather the courage to call any customer for a few days...

A mate of mine asked a customer once if her son could help him move a cupboard, it was her daughter and she went mad at him while I was crying with silent laughter in the next room.
