View Full Version : Customer comers out to talk in her bra!
Don't get too excited here guys this is a 70 year old women we are talking so unless you are turned on by Angela Landsbury this won't do much for you. This women was a thorn in my side all last year and I was considering dropping her this year but i figured I would raise her price instead and she accepted. Her grass was getting long and I stopped to give her the first cut of the season. I was about half way done with the front when out she came with nothin upstairs but a brazier. Needless to say I was pretty grossed out but not totally shocked since she had been pretty wacky since I started working for her. She started complaing that I hadn't called first and just shown up although I said I would do so in a letter I sent her in the springtime unless I heard otherwise. Then she starts whining about the leaves and how she wanted me to pick them up although she had not told me so until then. And then she goes on to say she wants this piece of grass on the other side of the driveway mowed with a 21" mower because those "big machines" leave those lines (stripes) in the grass. I told her the 21" is only for fenced in areas only and that made her even more mad. Right then my lazer which I was sitting on moved about an inch in her direction and she yells "don't hit me with that mower." At this point I have had enough. Not only have I had to look at this old hag in her bra but then to have her whine and complain about silly things as she has always done then yell at me. I told her to find someone else to mow her lawn from now on and loaded up my stuff. As I loaded up my things she tried to apologize but it was too late and I don't have time for that crap this year anyway. I loaded up gave her a wave and drove off. It felt great to give the old wench the boot. Can't wait to see the scrub that ends up dealing with that.

Sorry you had to deal with that, but an amazingly similar thing happened to 2 of my guys. They were at a property, and this lady comes out in her bathrobe to complain about the noise and showing up ( it was 1:30 pm ). somehow the wind blows, and this robe blows open. She calls later to apologize for flashing my guys, and the guys ask me for hazard pay. Dave

I'll tell ya, some of the things we sometimes have to deal with! Good for you, for dropping her. People need to learn that we work hard, and deserve respect.

When I was younger my friend and I were cutting together. I went around back of this big house to find a womans erobics cless going on in the back room with glass doors and windows (these were no 70 year old wormen !). Needles to say we both cut the back that day.

I had to cut this 200 acre sernior complex back when I was working for someone else. One day I was going arround the building on the Dane facing the building, glanced up and right there in the open window was this 80yr old lady starting to get dressed. Almost fell of the mower in terror, she saw me and ran to her bathroom. I also hated cutting arround the pool area where thay sit arround all day in thier suits tring to tan thier wrinkles. Then off in a wooded area others on my crew would contstnatly run over condoms. Now thats a scarey picture of Grama and Grampa. I told the owner about everything and he gave me a $.25 raise. I then made the others clean off the mower decks.

I had this old lady as a customer last year that first complained about the 25.00 price I told her and said she can't afford that. At the time she was nice and it was an easy cut so I told her I would do it for 20.00.
Everytime we came to cut the lawn, she would sit on her step and watch everything we did and she didn't remember anything you told her. Then one time, she had to leave for bingo before we were done. (which brings up another point, she yelled if you were not there at 1:00pm exactly every saturday.) Anyhow, she had to pay me before she left and when she did, she told me, "You better not do a bad job or leave with out finishing, since I will not be here."
Anyhow, she got the boot after a few weeks. Some older people are the best customers, but others are customers from hell.

My wife and I were doing a clean up for a women when all of a sudden she comes out the front door and yells "Damn, Damn, Damn". She turns around and goes back inside. I looked at my wife and said did she say what I think she said? She wants me to mow her yard for her but said she would call when it was ready. I'm not sure if I want her to call me or not. She seemed alittle out there. I picked up her neighbor while I was there that day. He said she's a little strange.

I have had them come out in robes to talk to me, but the best was about 2 years ago. I was talking to a customer and the next door neighbor is out in her front yard stooped over picking weeds in her pantyhose(nothing on underneath and a short tee shirt. Wow nice view,the customer said she never did this before,mabey she wants you to do some work for free or something.She was not bad loking and it was real hard to keep the stripes straight LOL

No I'm not gay, but a 75 year old lady that wieghs 250 pounds and sags down to her stomach is not realy the nicest thing to see. Now if it where a 19 year old and 125 lbs less... well thats another story.

I've had a few experiences like this but the one that gets the highest score would be the good looking, mid-40's, recently divorced woman. First cut of the day. As I come towards the front entrance she comes out in a negligee that barely covers her butt. She bends over, facing me, to pick up the garden hose and I get full shot of swingin knockers. Then she turns around to pick up something else and I get the full rear view. No panties. NICE!

I have several good looking customers. I would bet that I have seen everyone without a bra on at least once.
One customer last year was next door to her brother. He was the mgr of a strip club. The girls were always over there using his pool during the day. We had a habit of double cutting everything.
