For you male lco's (females disregard) If you happen to be mowing and a very good female walks by please don't look when operating mowers or heavy equip.

I happened to look @ a very good looking female and crashed the mower on Monday. :rolleyes: So, be careful.

I ended hitting the mower into a Wrought Iron fence.

This is true. :mad:

The key is to look, not stare.

Did she see you? I bet she was laughing. LOL I woulda been. But there's a lesson learned. Like Scraper siad, look, don't stare. You shoulda asked for her number. It's dumb stuff like this that gets long relationships started. :D

Ah to be young and single again. Not a good move at all. Hopefully you didn't hurt the mower or the fence. Focus on the job at hand and worry about the women after you are done with the power equipment. All it takes is a moment to totally ruin you day with an injury for not paying attention.

A guy told me a story about a lawn that he had just picked up. He was mowing next door to it. He happen to look up and seen a woman standing there naked. She came out in a robe and said when you are finished the check is on the kitchen table, come in and get it. He walks in and she was sitting there at the kitchen table. She asked what all he does and proceeded to tell her about the odd jobs and sometimes does fences. She asked how much fencing goes for and he said he would have to take measurements. She said talking about measurements what do think about these? She opens up the robe to reveal all (everything). He said they are nice and then she asks about her computer and he said he has a little knowledge about them. They go up to her bedroom and he takes a look at it. He is laying on his back, under the desk and she leans down and starts to massage his upper leg and you know where.

I asked him if he capitilized on her advance and he said "Nope"

MOW ED - TOO FUNNY!

I made a similar mistake last week at a residential and fortuntely did not crash, but as I was peering across the fence to my left I forgot about the clothesline to my front! :(

Well, it took my hat off and left a welt on my forehead that could only be explained with the truth or an alien abduction story. :dizzy:

Lawncare 3's story reminds of the movie Summer Catch. The young kid in it helps his dad with his lawncare service. He is mowing one day and the daughter of the client is swimming and gets out of the pool and he looks over and runs thru the flower bed. If you have seen the movie you will understand why he looked. LOL

LOL!!! :D :)

The guy I work for in the summer is married but always after the ladies. Always slowing down for the jogger or dogwalker. Also, lots of the ladies seem to be wearing their birthday suits when we mow at certain houses :D :D

Fine with me!!! :cool:

Saturday I was mowing looked up at a really nice female while turning. The front tire caught a guy wire from telephone pole, the grass is slippery, dry enough to cut but still damp. I lose my footing and go horizontal with the mower some how, hit my face on the mower and crash to the ground. All while she is staring back at me. My crew is just dying and I just lay there.

Yeah, but don't touch em'. Women like that are nothing but trouble IMO. Usually, you get what you wish for.

LGF,
You beat me to it LOL!! That was my first thought - glance, then if it is really worth the wasted time, when you come to a safe complete stop you can then look. But don't stare!

LandscapeEscape88's profile says he's 16 yo.....just trying help a young brother out a little, for what that's worth. You didn't put your age in your profile, but I think you gave a pretty good clue with that response......no insult intended, but man you have got to watch where you dip it. Ajax, like LGF said would be getting off light !!!!!!!!!!!

Ask Ultimate Lawn about staring and hitting trees and the damage that can be done. Some thing about a bent DECK.

Somebody should have told my buddy to glance, not stare, he was stareing when he drove his bike right into the back of a car stopped at a light, (I wonder if he was still stareing at her as he layed there on the hood of the car, :confused: )

We do a couple lawns by a public park with two pools...you all know where this is going...long story short, I think I need to hire a couple fruit loops for the park accounts to increase production time in the middle of summer.

Just because you are on a diet doesn't mean you can't look over the menu..just do it without looking like a perv:D Stealth and discreet observation is the key-, not running over the client's kick dog while watching two hotties jog by in dripping wet sweats. Maybe I could call Queer Eye for The Lawn Guy....:laugh:

heres a little to add to looking we mow a business park and im mowing a slight eleavated slope next to a busy intersection so i happen look at a women sitting at the stop light in her car wearing a short dress blouse unbuttoned almost down to her waist and the position of those legs made me run in to the light pole talk about wake up call but it was a nice veiw

alpine,
Maybe not looking is what makes you a real man,being able to control childish impulses? Chew on that for a while.

Childish impulses? Sounds like you took your psychology courses at a monastery. It's quite natural to look at and to find a woman (other than your wife) attractive. Just don't do it in your wifes presence. It's simply a sign of curtesy and respect.

This is kinda like what yall are talkin about. I was mowing a good friends yard, got all done with the front and went over by the mail box, went around it, went down the drive way and came back. I didnt notice that another good friend of mine was watching me through her window. I am back at the mail box making a turn down in a small ditch when the deck of my mower gets caught. i am still mowing and trying to get it out of this ditch, and when it catches it is gone and i am on my stomach still hanging onto the mower. it was a bad day

An old thread revisited, and I love it. It's not fair for impact to comment since he lives in a town of 12,000 co-eds. LOL....

I liked the post that suggested you can look at the menu as long as you don't order anything.

Hey Southpaw-C'mon up around the first week of April. There's really alot of nice sights(about 20,000) to see while driving around town..I mean the foliage, of course;)

Hmmm
15 seconds of looking and 15 years of pain when you crash. Dont sound like a good payoff to me. Not saying its right or wrong just not worth it. Safety first.

Why don't you guys just hire hot girls? I know most of them have never mowed a lawn in their life, but it's worth it just for a laugh:) .. I have a few of my female's working part time and they really attract new customers (especially old guys).. Think about it, you got hotties working for you and your business load doubles!!!

There is nothing hotter than a chick in a swim suit riding a ZTR.. I mean NOTHING!!!!:cool2:

12-16-2003, 01:27 PM
Hmmm....isn't this why they put a NEUTRAL position on the mower. Put it in neutral, check something on the controls, engine, whatever is inconspicuous and "glance" as long as you like. Sunglasses help.
