When I turn up on Building sites - the usual thing I get is not "whats that" but ......"you're obviously paid too much"

 

they then want me to approve their building work

I have a picture of my zed as my screen saver on the phone. I just show them that and usually get "oh that one" from the guys and "oh thats nice and shiney" from the girls!

You gave up showing girls a c*ck pic on your phone then Rog?

[Shinjuku]

Turn up to inspect my work, then we can discuss cars instead

Never had an issue with you guys, I do things correctly.

 

I've found over the years that if I have a good idea, I suggest it in a way that leaves you thinking you've had it and that you're helping me out.... Never fails

I have had it before where i have turned up to site and the consultant has actually rung up my boss and moaned that i hVe turned up in a flash motor.

 

I went round to the boot put my boots and hi-vis on. Got my laptop out, but still got the 'ooh your paid too much' crap.

 

I promptly told the consultant to mind his own frigging business the next time i saw him which got me in more trouble. Whoops

Peoples perceptions of motors is amazing.... Years ago I had a 4 year old 4.2 XJ6 and a 3month old Ford Granada Scorpio. If I took the jag to price jobs people said I must be charging too much, If I took the Granada they were fine..... The granada was worth about 4K more !!!!!

I've found that if you say, 'ITS A SPORTS COUPE', they say, 'AHH MIDLIFE CRISIS' !

 

Yeah the COO at my company remarked the same when the receptionist commented on my motor. He drives a BMW 530 diesel so no wonder he is jealous.

When I had mine,it was confused with an audi TT, or called a a jap Porsche. OR PEOPLE HAD NO IDEA AT ALL. I DERANGED MINE. AND HAD THE TOMMY K ZED BADGES EVERYWHERE which really confused people.

 

Sorry for the caps typing on the phone can't be Arse to re type it.

 

I'm really worried what a deranged one looks like?
