That sucks man! I almost rang that number, she obviously puts out! haaa
On a semi related note, back when I was landscaping I left a bottle of Rid on the boss's ute. I forgot to close the lid thinking someone else was going to use it. Anyway, wind knocked it over and it ran down the side of the ute from roof to sill. It must of been on there for a couple of hours and it stripped back the paint to bare metal!
Na mate, your fine! I talking about letting Rid sit there for a few hours.
Today, not one, not two but three reps from 3 different power companies (all of a particular ethnic background too), each one claiming to be my electricity supplier - the one our provider buys the electricity from. Garbage. You can't ALL be the suppliers, in fact I'd hazard a guess that none of you are.
All claiming to be able to save me a veritable fortune on my electricity.
Pull the other one fellas.
I don't know why I bother answering the door. If it wasn't for the fact that some people actually like us and occasionally visit, I wouldn't bother.
3 in one day has to be some sort of record. Now all I need are the Mormons and the quaddy will be complete.

Honestly Joanne the best $4 I ever spent was getting a "no canvassers" sign and placing it prominately at my front door. Havent had an annoying knock at the door in over 12 months.
Good one Mrs HMS, On Thursday I had 2 calls from 2 wedsites where they claimed I had free listings, all wanting to check my details, and than offer me more advanced (read expensive) advertising options. When i got home that night, yes I did have listing, but with information that was over 4 years old, and I had never asked them to put on the site. Obvioulsy done a scan for data found mine and uploaded it. I went back on the phone, threatened legal action, and suddenly it disappeared. Another rip off to look out for.
When i slave over back braking pressure cleaning a large driveway that was covered in tough black mould to make it spotless so clean you could open a restaurant and serve the food off it..Then while collecting money off the owner they then winge how high there water bill is going to be....and no matter how much you try to convince them that it uses less water than if you got on your hands and knees scrubbed it then hosed it off they don`t believe you
....Nothing like a good whipper....
Timmy got one like that once, luckily our pressure washer can also draw water from a bucket. So he filled one and demonstrated just how much bang you get for your buck. Customer shut up after that.
Next time he was there, he noticed a nice shiny new pressure washer in their garage.
Gotta love the power of a little customer education.

Why get you're driveway pressure cleaned if you are going to whinge and moan and complain about the water bill afterwards ?
Everybody is entitled to MY opinion
Joanne,
Three in one day for the same purpose quantifies for a record entry.
I must say I've become not rude, but very short with them. But rude when I say I'm not interest twice and they keep on with it.
Glad my phone number at home has been a silent number for 21 yrs and results in no crap coming through.
Cheers Garry
I dont get any by phone now I have registered for "do not call" but I think its time to put a sign on my front door so I dont get any door knockers. By spring time I should probably have the front fence up so I dont think many people will try to walk in and knock on the door with Rebel waiting for them.
Found a seemingly good Bobcat/Tipper operator out of the 20 or so calls that I made for my backyard makeover. Infact he was the only one out of all of them to actually turn up to quote, and do the job when he said he would.
Got the misses to bake him and his off sider some fresh scones for morning tea, as I hand them to him he informs me he took out my brick letterbox with the machine, thanks me for the scones and off he goes to dump a load of dirt. Gets back and almost finishes when he tells me its too boggy to finish. Yard has 2 foot deep ruts all over it, and I noticed a couple of large chunks taken out of the edge of my path too. His labourer stands around with his finger up his Kyhber pass and they leave a thick trail of muddy tracks after stupid me paying him before cleanup was completed. I leave sidekick cleaning path and before I knew it they were gone. Anywonder he has plenty of spare time on his hands.
Am really keen to get stuck into my own place, but wouldnt you know it, the phone is running red hot all of a sudden. I have had a heap of kids equipment sitting in my shed for the last 4 years! Lucky I have 5 of the little buggers because the eldest one has already grown out of it lol.
I want to die peacefully in my sleep like my Grandfather.....not screaming in terror like the passengers in his car!!!
