    When its a long weekend, people want/need there grass cut and its too wet, with little chance of drying out. Going to be a few unhappy customers this week for sure!

    People that use K-wire (chicken netting) for fences! The stuff is like a cheese grater on your whippy cord, and usually has saggy bits (like some of the owners), that hook up in everything!

    No ...bring back the stocks. I would love to go down to a town square and pelt thieves with rotten tomatoes and eggs and s**t and tell them what i thought of them. Then cut of their fingers

    Customers that want their lawn mowed and when asked for payment say I haven't got the money we are going away for easter.

    Yeah well so am I ! Should I just pull money out of my ass.

    Especially after changing my schedule to fit them in.

    My response to that sort of thing is to tell them there is a 50% surcharge for credit accounts.

    Thats pretty ignorant. I dont know what some of these people think. Its like we have a endless suply of money and it doesnt matter if they pay us weeks latter or not at all its really starting to frustrate me. I sent a letter out to all my customers sayiing that prices are going to increase on the 1st of may mainly due to people taking forever to pay there account was funny how many paid up to date the next day.
