WOW!...he was rearly going for it!...and then the sick p***K used her undies to clean up...OMG... ???
 ??? ??? ???
On the other hand this showing of one bad apple by target tarnishes the whole communtie of GOOD PROFFESIONAL tradesmen and these idiots at target build up the story like every tradesmen are going to be doing this...this programe should never have been aired and the matter delt with by police privatley but to show this just further erodes what little trust people hold in tradesmen...now every person will only want tradies to come around after 5 when they get home or before 7.30 simply because of one bad apple...SHAME ON YOU TARGET!!!.lol

But he was a sick f**k wasnt he!

I really get pissed off about the fact that Target calls this monkey a "trades person" a trades person is someone that has a degree in the trade or service they provide (an individual that has done some form of apprenticeship and received a document giving them that title), how does this apply to this carpet cleaning perv!? >:(

Target starts off putting "tradesmen" in one basket? WTF?! They are out to discredit qualified trades people and slander the trust we have worked so hard to regain over the years! Get your Shit right Target! Yes an absolute disgrace what this person has done but why are you sending out that kind of message to the public?

The question is how did you find this guy Target? Was probably recommended by the producer? Or the actress? Or is he an Actor, haven't seen anything shocking in a while Target good on yah, search and you will find..

Shocking behaviour indeed  and these sort of sick individuals need to be exposed and dealt with severely. Its a shame that people will think of these sort of acts when engaging Tradespeople to work in their homes.
 however i look forward to the day that  there is a program that shows the client from hell and some of the  situations that tradesmen experience.

I had a costumer call me last week and accuse our plumber of taking a piss on his basement floor, when in fact he used water to smooth out the epoxy on a broken earthenware pipe! Also didn't want to pay his bill. After I explained he wont be getting a gas cert he agreed to pay. Almost Criminal  :o

I also hated how Target referred to this carpet cleaning scumbag as a 'Tradesperson'....he cleans carpet,how the F*&% is that a trade??....Target is just trying to gain ratings by using scare tactics on the public.
 Make them think they are at big risk of this happening.

What he done was truly shocking though,
Target will be loving it...big ratings booster for them.
They will be setting up more cameras nationwide now lol,more funding to cast the net a bit wider haha

Soon if you cough while in a house it will be a point off your score("Clearly this is un-hygenic practise, he should know better",''We wrote to this company with our findings etc'')

They prob just got 2014,15 and 16's budget approved to keep making the show now lol....damm
