That one customer who watched me like a hawk the whole job
Had a job last week in Albany where this guy stood 2 feet behind me for 3 hours straight while I swept his liner. He kept asking if I was going to scratch the brass trim or drop soot on his new rug. I get that it's your house but I've been doing this 11 years and never had a complaint. He finally backed off when I showed him the 2 inch thick creosote chunk I pulled out. Has anyone else had a client hover that close and make the whole job take twice as long?

That whole "watching like a hawk" thing drives me up a wall. People act like we're gonna wreck their house on purpose or something. Did he at least apologize after seeing that creosote chunk or did he just move on to another thing to stress about? Some folks are just wired to be anxious about every little thing. It's not personal usually, just annoying. How do you keep your cool when someone is breathing down your neck like that the whole time?

Some people just need to see you work to believe you're good at it. Sucks but part of the gig.
