Very unprofessional. I hate that, it happened to me with contractors when building my house.
Also, what's with people not returning your calls? It happened to me once about a year ago. The (friend of a friend) worked on my house just knocking down a shed for me and dumping into the container I had. I gave him the work because he needed it and was desperate for moeny... fine. Then I called him back for some other work 2 days later, he never called back. I called about 4 times in the next 2 days and still nothing.
Then I see him a week later and tell him "What happened?" He says, "Oh, I did`nt wanna do that anymore." WTF? Why did`nt you just call me back and freaking tell me that?!? Laborers are a dime a dozen here, I gave HIM the job because he was a friend. I even gave him all the profits from scrapping the aluminum we took down. Each trip to the scrap place was about $50 on top of his day`s pay.
Cheffy, look what you made me do now. I`m all pissed off.
Damn the holidays! jk
