re: How do you feel???

Sometimes I think that people do not wish to mix business and pleasure. Some people find it really awkward to even think of paying a friend to do some work for them. And worry about what would happen if the order went wrong. Would this effect your friendship? (Not that it would of course, because we are all so capable…..:) but you know what I mean!!) We had a friend who was a plumber who was totally insulted because we went elsewhere for central heating – until my other half explained that he has a rule – never ever to ask friends to do work for him. Simply because he had too many experiences of work not being done correctly or bits missing and incomplete and therefore – this is now tricky to berate a friend, because the job is not correct. So he will not even start going there. So bear in mind there are people out there who think this way too. It simply is not personal, they perhaps are not good at communicating what they want in the first place and then worry if the order is not completed the way they want, and would rather argue with a stranger and not spoil a friendship! It definitely is not personal – rather the other persons way of looking at things!
