Last week I needed an electrician. I circulated an email to my pals asking for recommendations.

One was suggested to me. Upon ringing him up he told me that he could do the job, he'd be happy to do it and if, by any mischance, he couldn't come, he would be able to get his partner to do it.

A date and time was agreed for him to come and survey the work. He didn't turn up and his phone has been screening calls ever since.

I know that this happens all of the time, but feel that I should politely tell my pal who recommended him that his suggested electrician is a dead loss. My wife thinks that this would be ungrateful.

Should I do it ? Yes or no.

Yes, fecking hate chunts that do that

You can still tell your mate the electrician was a waste of time but thanks anyway. Your mate may avoid wasting his time in the future as well should he need an electrician.
