Yesterday,
I was travelling on a road that used to be the main Melb to Sydney link in my area at 5.00pm
I pulled over 6 times in 2.5km's to take the calls. Yes I know I could have message banked it. But that takes time to sort out later too.
1st - life insurance.
2nd - Donation request
3rd - Free business listing internet that becomes a cost.
4th - I thought was a prank call from a mate with an accent of
a overseas cricket nation for insurance. Which I hung up on.
5th - You employ me, we work well, I like work for you.
6th - I can make you another $2,000 to $3,000 a week if you
met me and we talk. Hang up on that one too.
Honestly the daily/weekly calls I get for internet sign ups, repeated donation requests, people wanting jobs, insurance, advertising offers although some are from respected local media re paper and on air.
Or say Saturday night at 5.30pm, can you come mow my lawn now please and they were fairdinkum about it.
Rain today, so a delayed full day landscaping job. Problem is this is the second rain delay for the same client. So I will be coy and reactive to PITA calls today.
Cheers Garry
Sign of the time Garry. As soon as you get wind it is a pita call terminate it unless you have some time on your hands then have some fun and wind them up. I love trying to sell lawn mowing to Pakis who are trying to sell me something. Oh and better invest ina blue tooth hands free. Dick Smith have a great little one going for $38 at the moment. Saves having to pull over or getting pulled over
Cheers

Yeah I registered with these guys too when it was free. All I got from that was cheap skates looking for the cheapest quote. Then they went paid so I ditched them. Quite a few people using them though.

Idiots drivers who cannot see out of their own eyes. Was in Norwood doing a handyman job on The Parade. Had to move some office furniture from one office there to another in Modbury. Only a little bit so took a small covered trailer with a ramp in. Getting parks there is bad at the best of time but I scored a loading zone with a free space behind so I could drop the ramp to load. I deliberately parked with the tail of the trailer poking into the free car park behind. We were at the tailgate dropping it when this ditzy chick in a bubble car whizzes into the park and pulls up about a foot from my leg. My look must have warned because she got out and said in her sweet little upperclass voice "oh am I in your way". Well yes lady you actually are unless you want me to drop this on your bonnet. She moved but not with good grace.

Hello good after morning to you sir are you de owner of de business.
I had a clown pull up about 6 inches from the back of my trailer yesterday, felt like dropping the ramp on their bonnet. Don't they teach common sense at school anymore.While I'm at it this really pisses me off when you are doing 40 in a school zone and someone comes flying up behind you and tailgates you through the zone. One day I swear I will give someone a smack in the head for doing this....
Not really a grumpy one today but while I was home briefly this morning I had a couple from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints at the door. I think they have to do it as a service to their Church but it does get a bit tiring turning them away each month.
As the woman launched into her speech about their latest magazine and the message of their Lord I politely interrupted and started to talk to them about the benefits of regular lawn and garden maintenance. Surprisingly they said they had to go?
