I have a job scheduled for tomorrow for a lovely couple, I quoted the job with them 3 weeks back. The wife called about an hour ago to see that we were still on and to tell me she was going to be out for part of the day at a funeral.

Says I "Im sorry to hear that, I take it your husbands going as well?"

 

"Yes, its his funeral."

 

Im hoping to find time to get some flowers on my way there!

Ouch! I remember knocking a door to look at a job, I couldn't remember the name do I just read the name plate and stuck a Mr infront of it, while waiting i had a nosey at the back garden and i couldnt see any trees, when the door opened , i said hi is Mr X in, the poor woman said, Mr X has been dead for 10 years, burst out crying and slammed the door, I turned round and here's the nieghbour looking at me from his window waving his thumb smiling, and I notice he has a huge conny half butchered in his front garden!!!

It had been a long day lol

Doing a 2 day job, working on a woodland boundary. Chatted with the home owner at intervals throughout the day, he made us a drink etc as was delighted to have the overhang reduced & damaged trees removed. Turned up on the second day & was met by a distraught neighbor, who, explained that he had passed away over night. Made for a solemn morning of work

Any-one killed a client... yet?:biggrin:

Ty

 

Nearly. Silly woman went for a walk in her garden because she was amazed at the pile of brush under the tree. I didn't see her as she walked along the boundary and I ejected a very big branch that hit her straight on top of the head😱.

She didn't die but I felt like killing her!😂

We come close tge other day prised cutting a hedge a few weeks bk phoned the guy a left a message saying we will be down tomorrow to cut it any problems let us know. Turn up at 8 the nxt morning to find the hedge cut in a very rough way, so we go knock on the door the guy in his 30 comes to the door and says what! We arranaged to cut your hedge well its done now he replys so we say as we traveled 26 miles to come you could at least cover our fuel. With this he totaly flipped on us it was hard to control our tempers but we kinda of did. Only to arrive back at the office to have an abusive message from him. God im tempted to go cut his hedge off at the bottom.
