Don’t get me wrong, I’d like a bit more financial security, but people who live and breathe making money, buying investments and working their balls off, always on the hustle, they just do my head in…
My other beef is people who want “wow factor” I’m a ceramic tiler and the number of people who want “wow factor” in their toilet is gob smacking… “wow” is what you say when you are busting and make it in time, it happens to all of us !
I detest the consumer society that we live in, where people buy things to impress people who if they were honest with themselves they’d admit they didn’t care for.
I’m doing a job for some sporting friends. They are building a 3 bedroom house that’s probably close to 400m2 internal with 200m2 of external tiling…
Of course there’s a “butlers pantry” ??♂️
Customer says to me “No, I don’t want tiles on that part of the splashback”
It’s next to the sink I point out, she responds with “Yeah, but it’ll never get used” ?
I couldn’t help myself and said “What’s it for then…?” ???
??
God I feel better getting that out ?
People need to ask how much is enough, and everyone’s number will be different.
