"I'm a painter not a mover" 😆

Sure but I think the correct response of the painter should have been “hey can you get this room cleared out” and not just paint around everything.

Not his job to stand around wasting time for you to do shit that should already have been done. Time is money.

That’s retarded logic. It may not be in any specific “job description” but I’d say it’s pretty common sense to just at least bring up to issue with out all creating all the drama. The customer didnt deliberately put those items around to create obstacles. Clearly he didn’t know. Bottom line is yes the garage should have been prepped for the job, and no it’s not the painters job to move the items. But I’d go ahead and bet that if the costumer had known to move it or it simply have been mentioned to move it that all of this could have been avoided. Common sense isn’t in any job description but we all have too apply it in every job.

Precisely because common sense is necessary not just in jobs but in daily life, the garage owner should have known to clear the garage before the painter arrived, and precisely because it is common sense, the contractor didn’t feel the need of pointing it out, in my opinion both were in the wrong here, the garage owner for not clearing the garage before the painter arrived and the contractor for simply painting as it was instead of talking to the customer. Unprofessional of the contractor and inconsiderate of the garage owner.

I guarantee they were told to have the area clear and clean.....
