Does anyone that works in a trade get sick of people asking for favours all the time?
All i get is "make me an extension lead up" or "come and have a look at my lights at my house for me" or "my sockets aint working in the kitchen"
Its getting right up my nose.

Asking a favour is fine, expecting a favour is rude!

Fixed it - broken neutral.
Didnt ask for any money but he gave me £20 quid and i didnt have to do much - only did 10 miles too.
Being a sparky does have its ups and downs.
