A local yuppie from Betoota Grove has today been frustrated to within an inch of his life.
This comes after Andrew Gerethy made the mistake of thinking other people give a shit about his very first world problems.
Finally mustering the courage to have a stern conversation with his builder about getting this job finished, Gerethy was rather curtly informed that he won’t be getting his way this time.
“Mate, we really want to be in by Christmas,” said the owner of a 5 bedroom house in our town’s leafiest district that was fully renovated like 8 years ago by the previous owner.
However, while Gerethy and his aspiring interior designer and architect wife would like to be moved in a comfortable to host a dinner party over the festive season, the tradesmen on Gerethy’s job would like to go on holiday with their own families.
“Yeah, it’s not happening mate,” respond Pete the builder.
“I want a red fucking Ferrari for Christmas, but I’m not getting one am I.”
Trying to negotiate like he does in his office job, Gerethy then tried to put the hard word on about spelling out that they wanted the job done before Christmas right at the very beginning.
“Sure, and that was before you decided to completely knock down the two walls in the living room, re-arrange all the plumbing in the upstairs bathrooms, and decided you want a huge pergola and deck in the back corner of the yard.”
“So respectfully, you can’t have it all mate.”
“Now, you are holding me up, so if you don’t mind I’m going to get cracking on finishing your job.”
More to come.
