A most testing day!

Right!! I had a job lasting a day and a half in my nearest town. The neighbour to the garden i was working walked in in his dressing gown stinking of weed says to me to leave the logs with him. I informed him that all goes away with me, he didn't like that much and walked off. 3 hours later he returns telling me he wants money for the car wash as my chipper has smothered it in dust : / upon inspection there was nothing there. I offered to run the blower over it but he declined. Throughout the day he kept asking me what I was going to do about it.The day ended. Returned monday to finish off the last part of the job the same man comes in to the garden demanding i move my chipper (parked off the road in clients driveway) he says he doesn't want the noise, i inform him that i am not breaking the law...he then phones the police!! The police tell him what i told him. He then phoned the council telling them i'm cutting down protected trees:confused1: then I have a 3 hours of him filming me with his phone while i work while i chip up. He recorded me every time we spoke. He took pictures of my truck while i worked. Told me constantly that i was going down and that he would see me in court. Throughout all of this I gave him no attitude used no foul language though i wanted to punch a hole through is head! Never had anything like it!!!

Personally i would have punched him in the hole.

Thats doesnt help i know but im quick tempered and have lamped the odd arsehole on occasion when provoked.

It seems to me like hes just an idiot out to wind you up,he wanted the logs,you declined,he wanted money for his supposedly dirty car,you declined,seems to me he's just acting up to try and piss you off.

You stayed professional and did your job to the letter,put it down to a bad experience with a halfwit
