Tree Surgery Nightmares

[Killa Ferret]

Ok list your tree surgery nightmares, if you list just one per post, or let someone post before you reply, it'll be easier to count up by looking at the post count.

 

I'll start

 

Tree Surgery Nightmares No 1 - Dog ****

 

You can't call it that though if the customer is around, we invented a new word at my old place "shogdit". Was like a minefield sometimes, and stunk if you stood in it, then you weren't allowed in the van if you did, unless you cleaned it off, i was on regular poop a scoop duty

 

So come on you've all got nightmares to share.

Tree Nightmares? Like when you get up out of bed but the stairs have turned to jelly, and you try to drive the truck to work whilst sitting in the tipper bed and reaching the steering wheel through the back window, except it wont steer where you want and decides to fly to the job of its own accord, and you forgot to put the chainsaws in but not to worry, they tied themselves to the back of the truck on their own. so you try to do the job but the trees have huge teeth, and chase me down the street, only for me to realize I've gone to work without putting any clothes on, so I have to try and cover myself, which I usually do by pulling up the edge of the tarmac road and sliding under, but then the tarmac wraps round me a bit tight and then theres a loud beeping in my ear.

At which point I realise its 6.00 am and time to get up and go to work.

Easy, that old dog of a tree that turns out to have nails up almost every inch of trunk.

 

Or the customer who never offers a cup of tea or worse is sitting out in the garden on a scorching day watching you and doesn't bother to offer a cold drink.

Taking down a big ash in a small urban back garden and a next door neighbour got the police out because saw dust was falling into her garden and onto her green-house. It turned out that when she was rang 999 she said that someone is throwing wood into her garden and it was breaking the glass in her green-house.

Tell them they are both w*****s and say you will come back when they sort things out.
