I know a lazy, loitering, pesky one in West Yorkshire, spends a lot of his time lurking in lay-by's during the day, a right nuisance he is.
In all fairness, perhaps they are not all like him though.
Gardeners came in second, followed by Plumbers and then Heating engineers.
Kitchen specialists and tilers were said to be the least approachable, according to a survey of 1,500 people.

Mine are always level - I was apprentice trained properly.
Consider this. In some instances, decorators loosen switches and sockets to either paint or paper round them and never fit them back correctly. Annoys the hell out of me what with me being a perfectionist and all.
