    I used to work with quite a funny German guy (a nation not known for it's humour). He was having problems with a plumber who would turn up without tools or just turn up but not do anything. He got off the phone to the plumber, obviously a little stressed by having to deal with the guy again and said in his deepest accent "Mike, zis wud never off happened if we'd won zee war". I laughed so much a spat my coffee out.

    My friend Sarah rang me asking for my help as her power had gone off.
    I asked her about her fuse box, but she was clueless about it (she'd just moved into a rented house), so I said that I'd come over.
    After crawling around in her under-the-stairs cupboard, I found that her fuse box had been switched off. It turned out that she'd dumped her mop and bucket into the cupboard and the mop had fallen and knocked the on/off switch on the fuse box!
    No fault.
    I made her promise to make sure that when she moved, she knew where the fuse box and stoptap were located. Luckily at her last house, the box was high on the hallway wall, so couldn't be accidentally knocked.
    She wasn't practical, but Sarah was a good friend and a real laugh. I miss you.

    Well Jack, I’m an electrician and not a single week goes by where I go to a call out and resolve an apparent “problem” by simply changing a light bulb with one that actually works or simply switch it back on… these people always tell me they’ve already changed the bulb and it’s definitely switched on. I always have a switch in the van, I’ll charge a minimum of an hour on a call out to fit it though, but I’ll be out the door in five minutes so don’t worry about the tea!

      As a sparks, when this happens i have to drag out the situation nowadays because if I'm in & out in less than 5 minutes after merely flicking a switch on or just changing a lamp the customer generally thinks " oh, is that all it was, that was easy " (after trying to explain previously on the phone that the switch should be UP) they then seem reluctant to pay a call out fee, which varies from 35 to £80 . For a local job during the day to an emergency call out immediately.
      So i drag it out for around the length of a cuppa.

    The first thing the electrician does is to put the switch on and off. In my computer days, when every computer was a desktop, I never ceased to be amazed how many user problems I solved simply by asking, "Is the computer plugged in and is the wall plug switched on?" (To be exact, as this was South Africa I asked, "Is it connected to Eskom?") Never overestimate the intelligence of the user, or L-user as they are called in computer support parlance.

    The electrician trying the switch is part of diagnosing faster as he will open it up & test it if it feels or sounds wrong ie clean click or crackling sounds (bad connection) flickering or starting but not staying on & changing the bulb may sound obvious but did you prove your new bulb works with a meter or substitution before you fitted it.

    What the problem is most likely to have been is the MCB had tripped! So half an hour plus switch, plus drink! Oh and if you let him keep the switch! Don't fall for it!

      My heating died. There were only a few things that could have caused it. The plumber rolled up and immediately buggered off again to buy a new motorised valve. Lovely - add twenty minutes to the time, and push it into the next full hour. £££££

    I bet we all know stories like that.
    The manager of the computer dept in central London was working from home, fifty miles away. His deputy called him in because the system had crashed. He drove fifty miles, stood in the middle of the room, and jumped up and down once: the system sprang to life. And he drove fifty miles home.
    The shiny new medical graduate, tasked with doing my echo, called the tech manager when he couldn't get it to work. I'd wondered why it was so quiet, and asked if he'd got it on mute. The tech manager walked over to the wall plug, flicked it on and walked out again.

    The Surrey police banned officers frm charging personal mobile phones in offices. A regional newspaper sad that if every officer was charging their phone 24 houŕs perday of 365 days per year it would save about £5,000 per year. SCC dismissed about 10,000 staff to try to save money. Almost all were rehired withim about three years as the Council no longer functioned.Most of those rehired? pr new? were o higher pay than SCC's woekers had been paid before.
