HA. I can top those stories.

About 10 years ago, a builder calls me and says to do the finish out the intercom and vacuum systems on a very specific day. I set the schedule. On the specific day I load all the product in the van, drive the 2 hours out to the site and lo and behold, nothing is painted at all. Raw drywall, raw trim.

What do I do?

Why I finish of course! That's what I was told to do, right?

Next morning the builder calls me raising he**. What the he** am I thinking? Who the he** told me to do that?

I replied. "You told me to do it on that day, so I figured YOU wanted it done on THAT day. That's what I was thinking. Now if you'd like it NOT done on that day, you shouldn't tell me to do it on that day. Right?"

He was used to dealing with roofer's, painter's, etc, that show up late all the time. Whereas I show up on the day I schedule.

It never happened again......He got over it.
