Client wants to upgrade three 400hp compressors with either 450 or 500hp compressors, but doesn't want to spend any money on the electrical system.

 :rofl: I love those requests.  Client (through broker) wants to increase his outbuildings limits, add this and that coverage, but doesn't want an increase in premium.   ::)  You gotta be kidding me.  Fortunately for me I have no idea what the professional response to stupidity is so I just mentioned "life doesn't work that way. You can't expect something for nothing" or something like that. Can't imagine what a guy like that would be like in a claim situation. 2 shingles in a wind storm, I want all my buildings roof's (rooves?) replaced!

Got a request from my boss. Apparently we're a bit short staffed.

"How'd you like to spend the weekend cleaning and testing breakers for a client shutdown?"
"I'd rather have my nuts bitten off by a Laplander"
"......"

Put a pair of speakers up for sale. In my ad I clearly stated that I have NO interest in shipping.

First response: How much to ship?

I guess people think I will change my mind just for them. Also, how can they not figure out how much it would cost to ship. My postal is in the ad so they can just go to Canada Post and check.

And people wonder why I can't be bothered to ship. Too much of a pain.
