The Dirty Secrets of Your TradeSo, Television is a hot bed of lies, deceit and made up competitions. We can't say that we are that surprised... every job is full of this stuff. It's not like the newspapers currently kicking TV whilst it is down are all that innocent.
We'd like you to even things out a bit. Spill the beans on your own trade. Tell us the dirty secrets that the public need to know.

Finally unlurks after many years...Job 1 - the building site. If you micturate on an unplastered wall, it'll never be the same. strange things will leech through forevermore.
Job 2 - the large DIY warehouse. Of course I don't know the best way to level a floor, I'm only 18. Still, let's hazard a guess and hope you don't injure yourself with this power tool that looks like it might help. Why the hell would you ask me advice anyway? I'm only getting paid £1.42. Oh, and the paint machine that mixes a million shades? Well it'll mix something up, and I'll dab some on the swatch for you, then skillfully wipe it off again while you aren't looking. See how close the match is? If you aren't satisfied with that, I'll ask you to have a look at it in the daylight. Heaven help you if you want two or more tins. They'll never, ever be the same shade. (caveat...this was about 18 years ago. Maybe they are a bit better now?)
Job 3 - IT. I don't necessarily know more than you, but I'm better at using Google. No, I don't read all your eMails, I haven't the time, and you are not interesting enough. Yes I do know what websites you are browsing. Sometimes I may later "review" them at my leisure, thanks for the link. Fix a problem? RIS servers make reimaging much quicker. Well I told you not to keep anything on the local disk, didn't I. Director of a large Insurance company? Your staff don't think the offshoring project has been as successful as you appear to. Why are directors never offshored?
Length? That's about the long and short of it.
