Difficult customers

[sparkatus]

Anyone get any funny stories about difficult customers?

I remember an alarm panel I installed ,it was at least a foot above my head but the customer had got a chair and stood on it and could hear a faint buzz from the transformer,so insisted on it getting replaced,the same bloke had a habit of standing behind you when you were trying to work, another pet hateof mine...hahahaha

I have one that I posted on anohter thread that I think is worth a repeat. A bloke who wanted a refund on a periodic because his lighting had low insulation resistance! He told me all he wanted was a safety certificate! Thankfully he wasn't there when I did the testing and I got paid by his wife.

I had one run over the consumer unit I was about to fit. He went out to the shops and decided to park his car in the garage I was working in even though he knew I was working in there.
