I didnt pay him any more for doing it because it was already in the contract with the painter to clean up before he started spraying paint. I never understood why he kept wasting time doing it when someone else would. As the customer, I just chalked it up to a guy having a few screws loose, thinking he is being an example to the rest of the world. The wasted hours he could have spent working on other jobs, being with his family, etc. will never be recovered. The painter wasnt going to lower his price if the sheetrock guy did the work because it was never done to his standards anyway, so he would always have to go back through the house.
All this talk about "lazy" scrappers misses the point of following directions. If you choose to do something unnecessarily because of OCD tendencies, maybe some counseling is needed? But please dont get all self-righteous on people who simply follow the directives of the buyer and choose to use that saved time furthering their business elsewhere.
Personally, I commend a man that wants to go the extra mile and cleans up after himself...EVEN if it may be passed on to the next guy. Says a lot about his character and integrity.
All of us here want to deal with the best buyer we can. I believe there are some of us here, who want to be the best sellers. Hence, we want to send a good product, that will benefit the buyer, give him the best return possible, so in turn, we can get the best return possible. Some of us CARE about what we do and want to work with integrity and a higher standard.
So, I think it is a misdiagnoses, as I do not think it has anything to do with OCD tendencies! I think it has more to do... with what kind of people we want to be!
