No. Gas man was supposed to be with you at 3 hours ago. He lost the gig. End of. Don't understand DH attitude. My DH would be relieved I was actually getting things fixed...

YANBU - There is precious little else that gets my goat as much as those services that decide that they don't need to make and stick to appointments like everyone else.
Particularly when they give you a morning slot or afternoon and refuse to make an actual, specific appointment - who do they think they are?? Everyone else has to make appointments.....RRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRGGGGHHH!

I think he wanted to add cost onto bill not have to pay up front but as I always insist that we have £500 for this kind of repair I would prefer to pay back our account. Am sure he thinks a magic fairy fixes things and there is no need to call repair men. Think as the man he should get up in the morning to deal with

Thks I was feeling VERY UNREASONABLE for a little while, cutting off my nose to spite my face is a fault of mine when pushed to far
