Has a hammer ever let you down?
|
|
I've always felt that my fellow West Ham fans are the right sort of people and there are many examples of fans here giving a hand to other fans, true comradeship.
We moved into an place down here in Dorset and it needed a bit of work, we got a guy in to put down laminate flooring. I'm rushed off my feet and thought let's get someone in, simple.
The guy turns out to be a hammer, brilliant.
Long story short job looks good but soon is revealed to be shitty, even I could've done better and now wish I had (although I'd have been much slower for sure).
Now have to repair whole floor and relay or pay someone else to do it.
Don't really want the guy back as it's shit once it'll be shit again and not worth the squeeze.
I was a bit gutted as he seemed straight up.
Am I being a bit precious? Obviously West Ham fans have as much right to be incompetent as anyone else.
Have you ever had a fellow hammer let you down?

I find that Stanley is a little overrated but I've always found Draper to be a reliable performer...

Perhaps dodgy flooring is the tip of the iceberg

He probably bullshitted you into thinking he was one of us,if he’s fucked it he was probably Millwall or a Yid.

Did cross my mind that he was making it up.
Should I mess up his check atrade reviews.
Generally don't like to indulge in all that... just breeds bad feelings and potentially messes ups his livelihood
Plus we don't want him back

Presumably the problem is that the floor wasn't leveled before installing the boards?
Other than that, if you can't install a laminate floor yourself, you must be totally GAY.
Either that or a bit lazy.
Or a lazy gay man.

Laminate flooring makes it easy to mop up jism which is a priority for lazy gay men

Just like every fan base in the country, you get people that are alright and complete wankers.
To think that a person won’t turn you over because they support the same team as you seems a bit naive

So ... you moved into a new home and didn’t realise the floor wouldn’t reach all the way to the walls leaving a massive gap.
And he completely ignored the NEXT LEVEL he promised to install
Sounds like he is DEFINITELY West Ham to me

Nothing to do with what team you support or where your from in GB you have to take everyone as they come and judge their character most West ham fans are just people to talk football with and have a common interest oh and to congregate with at the big bowl that is about it, because just like on here if you converse enough within minutes you will soon find you are actually not alike at all in fact alas apart from supporting the same team you would not even look in each others direction normally.
Humans have faults we were human before becoming Hammers.

I am often disgusted that some of the posters on here claim to be West Ham fans,these people would be more at home at the new NFL stadium in N.17.

Many quality tradesman work off recommendations and trusted trader schemes. Googling one then getting them in cause they were the cheapest is not always the best approach.
