I called a company to come and do work on my house. I’m an IT professional and earn a decent living, but we live in a tiny house in a working-class area.
He took a look at me and my house, then immediately said: “Let’s not beat about the bush. We don’t take jobs smaller than £6K. You wouldn’t be able to afford that, would you?”
Needless to say, he didn’t get the job. It wasn’t about the money, but his attitude.
