Salesman #1: After the test-drive, this guy tells me he has to leave 'cause he's got a doctor's appointment. Yeah, right."
Salesman #2: "What can I tell you, man? Buyers are liars."

I agree with you, tubeway - everyone expects something for nothing! I drink with a couple of used-car salesmen, and they are always open about the trade, even down to profit made, etc. They are realistic, in that the market will stand what it will stand and no more.
In addition, I am the partner of a plumber, and if anyone thinks that all of those are raking it in, they are sorely mistaken! You hear fantastic stories, but they apply to the very few, in lucrative areas such as the South East of England, the Home Counties - and then you'd have to have your own business. My partner is direct-employed and makes about �350.00 a week. I heard of someone who's a purchasing manager for a hotel who's making �30,000 pa. Our total household income is nowhere near that.
Then there's all the 'Builders from Hell'-type shows which make people suspicious of even those tradesmen and women who are telling them the truth. I have sworn to write a 'Customers from Hell' book, since there are many. I invite contributions!
Rant over.
