Ever wonder what your plumber or electrician whispers over their coffee break? Spoiler: it’s about you! Tradespeople spill the beans faster than a burst pipe. That “nice” client with the spotless house? “Obsessed with their robot vacuum,” says the carpenter, dodging Roomba like it’s a guard dog. The “DIY enthusiast”? “Tried to ‘fix’ their wiring with duct tape,” groans the electrician, sipping black coffee to cope.

Then there’s the “hoverer,” who watches every hammer swing like it’s a Netflix thriller. “Mate, I’m not stealing your tools,” the painter mutters, dreaming of a client-free zone. And don’t forget the “bargain hunter,” who haggles like they’re at a flea market. “Offered me a tenner and a stale biscuit,” scoffs the roofer.

But the real MVP? The client who leaves snacks out. “Legend,” says the tiler, munching a biscuit. So, next time a tradie’s in your house, maybe toss in some cookies they might just gossip less and fix more!
