Dog & Neighbor

[rvsuper]

I was talking to my neighbor today on both of our property lines. We were talking for a while and he let his dog out, then it starts peeing on my lawn and the neighbor says "Uh oh, my dog's peeing on your lawn." He made no attempt to stop it and just let it go. What shoul've I done?

Natural fertilization :D
No really, I don't know exactly what i would've done, probably dependent on his personality but I might have said something like "would you please not allow him to do that on my property?" This may sound rather petty to some people but most should understand.

but this dam dog was a SHE and it will probably kill it. if it was a HIM, i would have let it keep goin. my lawn is probably the nicest in town, and his is nuthin but weeds. he mows it at 1 inch in the heat of summer, just so he doesnt have to mow it for 2-3 weeks. this really made me mad, i took my hose and watered that area down, so it might not even do anything. i dont know.

You should then have pulled your 45 out of your holster and blew it away, then calmly say "oh wait now he's not" By the way I saw your kids on my lawn yesterday getting a ball, can you remind them not to go on my lawn.

there was one time where i took a ten pump bb gun, pumped it once to get it away from my flower beds in my backyard. was kinda funny. :D

My Grandma uses a high power squirt gun on intruding dogs ;) :D

i think the next time I see that fat little beagle, im gonna have my garden hose ready and give it a little bath :laugh:

That's a good idea. Once it realizes that it's no use going over your way, she'll eventually quit it. Hope it works quickly and effectively.
Also hope your neighbor doesn't b-i-t-c-h at you about it.

If the neighbor complains water him down next. :D
Works like a charm.

The other day, I was mowing a customer's lawn, he just bought a trampoline, and I require that the customer's move their objects on the lawn before I come to move it. It was on his yard yet, and he knew that I come to mow on those days, and this is a big A-S-S tramp. i knock on the door and ask if he can help me move it and he says that i'm supposed to move it by myself because it is part of the yard work, which all i do for him is mow, so i just went and mowed around it. yesterday, he called and said that he is going to find someone else to mow, so i dont have to anymore. is that a customer worth keeping, or do i just let it go. I REALLY hate lazy people!

[Brickman]

Let him go bro. A PITA customer isn't worth havin. I would have told him when he called that is OK with me.
But then I got more work than I know what to do with, and turn more down every day. If you aren't in those shoes and don't want to lose this guy, you might have to brown nose a little.

"Paintball gun"

[rvsuper]

yeah i have a lot more bus. this year due to that all those lowballers left town because they were just not gettin enough business. saw one lawn last year that they mowed half one day becasue their work day was over at 5 and it was 5 so they told them that they would come back the next day but they didnt come back for three days. not a good way to get more business!

[rvsuper]

"Takin care of business and working overtime" :D

The trampoline story reminds me of one of my customers. He bought a 16' trailer (for God only knows why-must have been quite a deal) and he arrived home as I was loading up. He asked what I thought about his new purchase and I told him it was very nice. Then he asked "Did you move it to mow under it?"

I said "Well, I thought about unloading my trailer, unhooking and securing it, going to Home Depot and getting another ball that will fit YOUR trailer, switching balls, taking my truck around to your backyard and moving your trailer out of the way, mowing where you sat it, put YOUR trailer back in its spot, switch balls again, re-hook and reload my equipment back onto my trailer...but I decided to just weedeat around it instead". :D

That's the last I heard about moving that trailer.

[rvsuper]

we should have an anti-PITA mowing organization :laugh:

[lawnkid]

Hoses don't seem to work well for me. I usually like to make it interesting so my buddy and I take the neighbors ripe tomatoes and pelt them at the dog from long range. After 2 or three the dog never comes back for a couple days. The people who own the dog are those people who don't pick up their dogs s**t either. So in a way we're even. :D

Let it go to many more important things in life to worry about. Thats what dogs do they go in yards. You can always let your dog go in his lawn.

We live out in the country so our dog runs free as do all the others. He's loves our next door neighbors and their kids so he scratches on their door and sleeps on their porch. Problem solved! We're buying their house this week!
