Now the best bit.., dressed with footy shorts, runners, Jim Beam T-Shirt. No PPE worn, ie muffs, gloves, glasses etc. The job he was on looked like it hadn’t been mowed in weeks, knee high and edges overgrown running down and over the gutter.
I finished my regular over the road including nature strip, front area, backyard with grass collected all in approx 45 mins.
This joker, who looked about 18 years old, not that there is anything wrong with that, had only done 1 side of the overgrown edge and it looked like s#*t trying to do it with it with a battery powered line trimmer.
I drove off thinking he’ll b there for hours...! What a winner..!
Will check it out next time I’m there and drop off a business card because surely he won’t b back...
