I was told at the start of my inspection career, "If you show me an inspector that EVERYBODY on the site likes, I will show you an inspector who is not doing their job." This was not said in the sense that an inspector should be an ass, but that if an inspector is doing their job correctly, there is going to be a few that do not like them. No matter how nice, well worded, and correct (with supporting documentation) one is, it is not popular with everybody. No matter how accepting of it they are when your face to face, as you walk away, the under the breath talk and "your number one salutes" IE the "bird" are there the majority of the time. It is not a job for people with sensitive feelings. LOL
If one is the type to lose sleep over things like this, I would not recommend inspection. :-)
