Filthy habit of installation personnel

Whenever any installation person or a technician comes for a visit and does some work in the house, he/she leaves behind all the garbage from his/her work. Why is this a norm in this country? When the work is done they just walk away without even batting an eye. Who do they think is supposed to cleanup their mess?
This is also seen in all PWD works. Seems like a culture.

Co-incidental, I was thinking the same yesterday & today.

And was thinking along these lines.

1) Maybe, because most of those in semi-skilled technical jobs in our country are doing it just for the money and not because they love their job.

2) Or Maybe, they feel they are not getting paid enough, even after charging 1.5k for a day’s technical work for plumbing, electrician, masonry etc.

3) Or maybe, their work principle is, finish the job, take the money, and rush to buy their evening pint, asap.

4) Or maybe, the house itself is maintained in a bad state, the contract worker does not feel like they have contributed any further to the mess that’s already around them.

5) Or maybe, they come from a social background where cleanliness or tidiness is not the norm.

6) Or maybe, in India we have a habit where, all the people of the household stand around watching the technician and supervising his work. this possibly pisses them off and so they shove the leftover trash from the work for their supervisors to clean up.

You get what you pay for .

Indians are addicted to cheap prices and awesome deals/discounts , thats why they don’t get premium services .

I have noticed very few technicians who does a clean job. There came a technician to install TV in my friend’s home. He was professional right from his dressing. He marked the drilling points like how an engineer do, drilled, cleaned the mess, hung the TV. Not a single blotch anywhere. This is about 2-3 years back.

Slightly out of context, I also noticed some drilling machines in US come with dust collector beneath (and some with a small vacuum pump fitted). I can go on in different lenghts.

But the point is it is mostly a norm/practice to leave the mess as is in India. And if they do clean, it will be another mess.

PS: I do all the plumbing/electricity work all my self. The engineer in me doesn’t like the outside technicians’ callousness.

The installation person feels that they are doing you a favor by installing your appliances…

You forgot to mention that if they drill they dont bother covering like the bed or table or anything around and the dust gets into everything.
I noticed in the US they will collect all the garbage and put it neatly in a bag and leave it in a corner for you to dispose and this includes all the plastic ties an cutouts and such extras that are discarded..

I am happy if they dont spit inside the house or take a leak in the corner.. Which I wont be surprised if no one else is around.. Enough notes about people find chewed pan inside bottles and mugs etc..

On 5. they come from a social background where cleanliness or tidiness is not the norm.

There has to be a subliminal “when in Rome, do as the Romans do” thing.
Else there is no explanation for the same members, rich or poor, of our society who litter the EMU while traveling between New Delhi and Anand Vihar acting like upstanding socially responsible citizens when in the Metro.

PS: Just to make sure, in no way I am suggesting that your house is a filthy place. smile

Not so correct bro. They do stay clean if it comes to their place. The definition of clean may change, but definitely not filthy.

IMO, it’s just the way they are wired/habituated to leave the mess behind

What? Where do you live? Which country? Is it some posh area within a posh area guarded by wonder woman or something? One in this shithole is lucky if a installation man installs something which doesn’t require us to look for another installation man followed by another and it continues….

One must know where his feet are!

Indians never take pride in cleaning work, considered lowest of lowly job.
So most people avoid cleaning work.

Only very few well mannered and trained people or those who care to please their clients bother to clean up after they finish.
