Look not everyone is going to be "my type of client"

 

Using a blower like that means the way is clear to do the job, the client is not offended, plus, as a bonus they get to touch it when they weed their borders.

(After you've gone)

 

Blowing dog crap round a garden not in a million years if you need the work that's much then crack on.

If I turn up to do a quote I tell them firmly please clear up before we arrive when I did contract mowing if the mower got got crap on it they got billed for cleaning it takes an hour so that's £37.50 if they argued I'd tell them to collect the contract. Why should I turn up at the next job with a mower stinking of crao no way.

 

If a client wants us they will do it our way or no way no messing about since I've taken this attitude our company has gone from strength to strength coincidence I think not

Worst thing is when you hit one with a strimmer. I got coated from heads to toe a couple of years ago when I was clearing a garden which hadn't been touched for years. Couldn't even see through the visor. All the neighbours' dogs used it as a bog. Luckily it was only 80 metres from my house so I didn't have to drive home. My wife made me strip off in the back garden, wouldn't let me in the house. She took a photo and showed everybody. She thought it was funny, if I didn't!

Yeah I guess it's more of a pain for mowing/gardening. I was picking up brash and put my finger through a turd and it was the finger with the end worn through on the glove. It was hard to eat my sandwiches that day.

 

Bet you stopped biting your nails too:biggrin:

If someone knows your coming and can't even be bothered to clean there dog crap up then they don't think much of you. Not my type of Cliant.

I hit dog poo once, with a mesh strimmer mask instead of a visor. Never again will I use a mesh one
