Happens in all careers. My neighbour is a paramedic and helped another neighbour out when he fell even though he was off duty.

Used to happen all the time with students when I was lecturing. I just used to say that I wasn’t covered by insurance to give advice and point them to the CAB!

I think it’s disgraceful- unless it’s a close friend or family member people should not be approached out of work for ‘a favour’. Plain rude x

A man asks a lawyer how much they would charge to answer 3 questions. £1000 came the response. Wow, that's a bit pricey isn't it? "Maybe" says the lawyer - now what's your third question?

We have a large yellow van from a well known breakdown company and you would be surprised how many knock on our door with a “can you just” . If the van is there it means he isn’t working and he’s not insured . He always gives them the number to ring for assistance but you’d be amazed at abuse we’ve had when he says no . Complete strangers ! We sat down one Boxing Day for dinner when someone knocked, nothing surprises me anymore .

As a lecturer I once had a student come to my house on a Sunday afternoon to complain about not passing his assignment. He knew one of my neighbours so came round with them. The funniest was a colleague who was in the toilet cubicle when a student pushed an assignment under the door and asked her to take a look at it.

It is annoying, and it happens with other occupations. My husband is a carpenter and the amount of people that ask if he can just pop around to hang a door - like it’s a 5 minute job. The best was someone who lives over the road (i’d never spoke to them before), she came over and asked me if my husband could come over to show her husband how to finish off the work that someone else hand started and hadn’t returned to finish - I was flabbergasted - he didn’t go over!

Absolutely taking the Micheal (I would use a different word off the dibb).
I get people calling me all hours for quotes that they're in no hurry for, and for free advice (they think I'm too stupid to realise what they're doing). I rarely answer my phone even during the day when I'm not working, as I can often suss out the time wasters even from their messages. This is how the timewasters are listed in my phone (I have dozens of them). Edited at 08:13 PM. |

I must be in the minority here,because I also work long hours & can go months without a day off work,but this would not bother me in the slightest.
It’s nice to be nice & I would never hesitate to do someone a favour ,even if it puts me out. I always think,that I may be the one,needing a favour next time & that’s what I live by. It may be a 5 minute phonecall,that could be taken with your feet up,with a wine in your hand. Just my opinion,but can’t see why you would be raging. Tracy x
