Broke A Window

[mojo111]

Yep dam crap! on peoples lawns hiding in the grass. Don't know what it was. Took out a fixed window the size of a sliding door. Didn't see it happen the lady rang about half hour latter.I went around had a look?? BUGGER! Got a bloke on the phone (a mate) how much?? screwed him down to $150.00 not bad I thought. I said to her it was a waste of time me getting out of bed to day Then she said don't worry about it sh1t happens. I'll pay for it you've had a hard winter! you don't need the extra expense. Bugger me! good on ya sweet hart (old girl 80+) I offered her 4 mows in exchange. she! wouldn't here of it my fault she said didn't check the lawn properly.

What would you guys do??

An through er in......... :laughing:


but, Just fix it $150 ain't that bad ;)

I throw a rock from under the mower into a car Monday morning, cost me about $400, ya reckon that didn't stuff the hole week...

I hated everyone for about a month......... ;frosty;

i'd still do the lawns for free, easier to wear $35 bucks a fortnight than$150 in a week and it's great customer service..

Yep, free lawns! Just do the lawns and dont bill her for them. Then she cant say no.
Had a simular thing happen to me.

When ya think about it--------its not gonna cost me $150. In real money its about $5.00 in gas,trim line, insurance and about 20 min in time per mow. No extra travel because I mow another two in the same street ;) LOL :clap:

Exactly mojo! When I smashed a car window, I didnt even know about it till the next time I went to mow. I offered her money etc but in the end I more or less went halfs with her. I mowed her lawn I think 2 times or so and she was happy with that.
I still have her as a customer to this day!
With the price of Insurance excess, its cheaper to do it like this some times IMO.

[mojo111]

Insurance is only worth claiming on when ya stuff up BIG time. eg shop front windows. not that I've done that. Touch wood. :laughing: :laughing:

[mick]

Exactly mojo, just makes sence really! I havent broken anything worth more than maybe $200 yet......."touch wood!"

I should mention the window I broke, they'd been doing some gardening and must of pulled up a rock or something and left it there. Therefore, not entirly my fault but I still went halfs to keep them happy.
