Lazyass Lawnmowerman!

Do I look like a girl that has time for bullshit? I mean seriously friends, I work long hours, I play hard, I love harder...

Is it truly so hard to expect that the lawncare company I contracted for the season makes it out to my house at least once a week? I get my grass cut/ they get their money.. seems pretty simple to me. Apparently this concept of this exchange is somewhat challenging to others.

I called said 'lawncare company' on Monday after not having seen their retarded looking, clown car truck for over a friggin week and a half! The receptionist, clearly an escaped metal patient with buck teeth and a speech impediment that would make a deaf person cringe, informed me that I was on their list for a regular cutting. I explained to the gem of society that 'of course I'm on the list, I prepaid for 1 cut per week for the entire season and haven't seen them for a week and a half!' She 'checked her notes' and told me that they had been out last week and didn't think that my lawn 'needed it'. Whoa!..... didn't need it - and just who decided this?

Well anyway I asked her if I would be credited for the cut that they skipped and the reply was 'huh?'.... wow... that's some colossal intelligence right there for ya... 'HUH????... wonder if her friggin eyes were crossed and her tongue hanging out of her mouth when she said it. She didn't know what I was talking about so she got one of 'the guys' on the phone. Good Loard... bad went to worse... First I was talking to the bucktoothed, ditzy, front office bimbo and now I've been transferred to some dillweed, crooked bonered, fartknocker redneck with a 'piss on women' attitude... oooooh I am HOT!

Long story short... I tore him a new one and demanded that they come out immediately and mow the stupid thing.. (you see, there's an issue with my lawn - somehow, somewhere these spiney burs that will actually make you bleed were introduced into the grass... they're terrible and if the grass isn't cut they get out of control).

Well, I get home yesterday to a mowed lawn.... yeah right... nice. A professional friggin lawnservice who's revenge to me was sending some little hogarbeast troll that mowed both my front and back yards round and round in a circle ending in the middle.... My damn yard looks like a couple of bullseyes.. I'm so fuggin mad...

So now I have to call the reknobs again and have it out... I want someone's head on a platter before this is finished!!

    I know it's really frustrating but, I'm sorry, the visual description made me laugh.

    I sort of like cutting my own grass. I find it relaxing, but I know many other people don't find that same feeling when mowing the lawn. The old saying "you get what you pay for" may apply here. Not sure if whatever lawn service company you are dealing with is a "steal" compared to some of the others, but if they are, then that might be your first problem.

    I know what you mean about those razor weeds that can get into a lawn and destroy your flesh if you happen to come in contact with them. You probably need the entire lawn treated for weeds, maybe even completely dug up and re-seeded if it's really bad. Call ANOTHER lawn service company for that...or better yet, find a super nice guy with alot of hours to kill on a weekend to do it for you for free! ;)

    If this were me, I would pay the kid next door to do this, much more reliable, and you can tell on him if he screws it up!

    as i thought you were using the word bur to describe the lawncare service men, i must admit, i was excited! 'here's a girl that knows the english language,' i thought. then i realized you were talking about some kind of pesky plant. but that's cool.

    Becky - ::sigh:: I live WAY out in the country.. there are no children, and my yard is HUGE. Big yard, 19 acres of pasture and 68 adjacent wooded... yeah.. my little piece of FRIGGIN BULLSEYE PARADISE!! Grrrr..

    Brico - You better stock up... you have no idea what you're in for... Are you friends with the Energizer bunny by chance?

    Geoff - NO ASTRO TURF!!... especially not blue. Good loard..if the lawn was blue and the service DECIDED to come (astro turf or not) they wouldn't know where the lawn ended and the sky began!

    Mr. Bredemeier - Please don't let your excitement wane simply because I was using 'bur' in a different context... excitement is a good thing.. um.. just ask Brico and the Energizer bunny.

    There are some "nice guys" that might cut it for free. I've been known to help a girl out with things like that and I didn't have any "other intentions" in mind or was expecting from her in return. Of course she has to be a sweet girl and be worthy and appreciative of such a kind gesture. ;)

    Of course to be totally honest, if she "repays" me in other ways - I'll accept! Ha-ha.
