    Hi Mark,

    And it not just the questions they ask, it the things they do:-

    Stand on you the reach in the case,
    Stand on your tool box to reach in the case,
    Let their children stand on you,
    Move the "No Entry Barrier" and stroll in with their trolley,
    Walk up and down a completely empty island, just looking at empty shelves.
    Run you over,
    Let their children climb up the step ladder,
    Push the step ladder out of the way, leaving you on top of the case,

    What is the fascination with an empty fridge, when it's got food in no one around..............but when it's empty and your lay on the floor...........every man and his dog wants to have a look?
    Don't we just love our customers, customers?

    Yep you have got to laugh

    And its not just the customers.

    I was working on top of a coldroom today (37.2 ambient at the condenser and they wonder why the compressor keeps stopping).
    All of a sudden my ladder is missing from the side, i look down and the manager say's "Oh Sorry, were you using them".
    "yes i WAS" was my polite reply, What i was thinking i am sure you can guess

    Regards

    Raymond

    A customer of me is always talinkg of kaviar instead of kVA (in Duth almost pronounced the same as the famous fish eggs)

    And he once asked me the price for a softwaremachine instead of a soft-ice machine.

    And he discussed withe me that how lower the voltage was, the smaller the leads can be, so he installed 0,75 mm2 for 12VAC halogen spotlights

    Or an expert who was talking abouth the pumps instead of compressors.
    It's better to keep your mouth shut and give the impression that you're stupid than to open it and remove all doubt.

    "When will you be here"


    Phone rings "My fridge doesn't work will you be able to fix it"
    Are we telepathic and able to diagnose from 100 miles away.

    Re: silly questions

    One of the IST's I worked with swore that he'd had a very attractive lady with nothing on underneath deliberately stand over his face to reach into the cabinet he was fixing! ;-) Never happened to me - instead, I had to take to tying the steps to the kick-rail to stop them moving away! :-D

    A funny thing used to happen to me when I used to work at the woman's prison kitchen equipmnt. Evey time I would get on my back to inspect some piece of equipment, an inmate would come and stand over me and pretend to be working just to tease me/us. Well needless to say I would always have a smile on my face . I worked in the prisons, the morgue, over dead bodies, hospitals, power plants, court houses,Sheriff stations.etc.

    Why this thing is failing ?
    What that's the capacitor ?
    What is it job ?
    I just have to give a class while repairing in a supermarket , the manager wants to know all . . .
    Don't we love the cutomers ???
    Engineering, sciences, math, physics and my brain will generate "not responding " soon

    Re: silly questions

    Been out working yesterday all day and got in late.
    Then I got a phone call this morning at 5am from a supermarket, saying they had a power cut and did i have a genorator in the back of my van to power the fridges.

    I mean for christ sake that takes the piss.
    IF AT FIRST YOU DON`T SUCCEED.
    DESTROY ALL EVIDENCE THAT YOU TRIED!
    and go get a cuppa
