    Mothers (sorry to the mothers on here), who send their kids out to play while I am mowing. it has happened at this one job 3 times in a row, each time I go to the door and ask her (nicely) to bring the kids in and I explain why, she says she understands.

    I have decided today that if it happens again I will include a $10.00 child disposal fee. And if it happens after that, as soon as they walk out the door, I will pack up and drive off. Its only a small job so no big hassle if I dump her.

    I'm sick of having to work Saturdays because I can't get enough done Mon to Fri.


    Yeah and I'm annoyed at that dog above too. That young lady looks very....... um, athletic.

    Not again! Are you wearing the right sort of eye protection? Have to be so careful with eyes and when you get something in them it feels like the MCG boundary rope in there too.

    Yes, again! All these years doing this and it happens twice in a season. Been wearing the same type of glass's for like 8yrs or so. Just bad luck!

    Don't apologise...can't help stupid people. Just stop work immediately and add the $10 on as avoidable delay charge. If it happens again drop the job, it's just too big a risk. Having said that I had trouble keeping my youngest out of Andy B's way when he was working here, little bugger moves so fast you blink and she's gone (Andy moves pretty quick too!)

    trust you to actually look at the face
    Anything Ian says may or may not be garbage, it may also be his own opinion or it may not be his opinion at all, it may just be something he felt like stating anyone following his advice does so at their own risk and may be doing something Ian would actually advise against.
    And if you don't like what Ian has to say use the ignore function if you don't know how ask i will gladly tell you
