I've heard of plumbers being called "turd herders" more than once.Originally Posted by John Markl
I've called a couple of my plumber friends turd herder a time or two then picked them up off of the floor when the hit the floor laughing. They claimed they'd never heard the term before I said it.

Best advice i ever got from a plumber....."Dont chew your fingernails"
Every customer you take for granted today will be someone else's tomorrow.

Sometimes you get what you pay for......the plummers boss and the customer.

Apparently NM has a 7.44% Turd Tax. What will they think of next?
Seriously, I guess they tax labor too in NM.

This thread is awesome. I can't believe somebody wrote that on an invoice. I got a good laugh out of this.

While employed at a gas utility, part of our job was the removal of unused gas meters. I came upon one place (address) were the building had already been demolished. So I wrote on the ticket " the building that once was here is now but a fond memory, as is the meter" Some of our crew did what is called turn-ons. Removing the locks from meters and lighting appliances. Many times the customer was not home and the job could not be completed. They would leave a card on the door or in the mail box " I was hear and you wasn't, I've got gas and you doesn't"-GEO
Once in a while everything falls into place and I am able to move forward, most of the time it just falls all over the place and I can't go anywhere-GEO

Still learning about the site?
Use the preview feature to figure out what works and what doesn't.
So where would you work? If you work for yourself, then who would you hire?
Suicide may be the only way to escape embarrassment. I had a latino employee once who spelled "sheet" on a customer invoice: s-h-i-t. That was embarrassing...but funny. So we did a little training.

Don't laugh....one of the first supermarkets we scored as a customer, showed us a similar invoice from a competitor on our first call:
"Fix Cooler, $400" (This was 1981)
The manager asks: "Would YOU pay this bill?".....um, no

I can't stop laughing, I might have to go to the emergency room to get sedated or something.
At least he didn't have to cut the cheese too.
