How long would you wait?

DH called a contractor on Tuesday to give us an estimate to straighten a beam in our garage that holds up our attic storage. The guy didn't call back until yesterday, and said he'd be over at 11am today. DH is at training all day so I said I'd stay home.

It's now 12:20.

I have errands to run (like finding scrubs my ever-expanding butt will fit into so I don't look inappropriate at work tomorrow), and when DH gets home around 5, we're going to the ILs to drop off some things, and we'll be busy with dinner, etc., after that. I don't have the guy's phone number or any way to get a hold of DH to ask him for it.

What is a reasonable time frame to wait for this guy?

Re: How long would you wait?

  • I would have called already.  Any chance it is on the caller ID?  If not you can log into a cell phone account and find out if it is on T's recent calls.

    Oh duh, I never thought of caller ID.

    I called the number back and no one answered, so I left a bitchy voicemail, told him I'd be home for another hour, otherwise we need to reschedule.

    And I think I'm going to tell DH not to hire this guy. This type of stuff really pisses me off and makes me not want to use them for business.

  • My H is a contractor, and this kind of behavior is not OK.  I will say that it is common  that things come up during the day/on the job that might delay him to appointments sometimes, but he is always sure to call the client right away (even ahead of time) if he thinks he is going to be delayed.  Just showing up late is not OK; I'd say anything over 20-30 minutes gets a huge thumbs down.

    That was my thinking too.

    It's now 1:30, no return phone call. I'm leaving to run my errands. I left my cell number and house number on the guy's voicemail, so he can certainly call me if he decides to show, but 2.5 hours is ridiculous.
