So 7pm the other night a guy orders 1.5 cords of firewood from me and has done so for a few years now, no problem I tell him I will be there at 7am the next morning he says good the check will be on the door. 7am the next morning I roll in, no check on the door, house is dark I call his cell phone no answer I figure I will dump the wood and have him send the check as I have a good history with him. But I decide to ring the doorbell just once incase he is here getting ready for work. NO answer so now Im opening the doors on my truck and his wife comes out and hollers "WE HAVE NO MONEY FOR THIS RIGHT NOW" as she is getting uncomortably close to me and I say um what happened between 7pm last night and 7am this morning were you robbed last night. This seemed to enrage her more so she screamed I HAVE TO BUY GROCERIES YOU KNOW
I said yes so do I. Mam your husband ordered this firewood to be delivered this morning just 12 hours ago and I need to be paid whether you want the wood or not. She says THATS THE PROBLEM HE DOESNT TALK TO ME ANYMORE YOU ARE GONNA HAVE TO LEAVE. So I say you are my first drop this morning and the whole truck is loaded accordingly there are 3 other peoples firewood ahead of yours in the truck and I have to get to them as I promised I would, if you dont want the firewood thats fine but I still need the check that was to be left for me.
She storms into the house, now Im thinking I am definately not dropping the wood as I will never get paid, I dial the husbands cell phone, no answer. A few minutes pass she comes back out of the house with the check in the envelope still with the tape on it where her husband had it taped to the door for me (which apparently she tore of the door after he went to work) she crumples it up in a ball and throws it in my face and screams I GUESS WE WILL BE EATING PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY SANDWICHES FOR THE NEXT TO WEEKS. I just smile at her and say I like those sandwiches, thank you I dump the wood out and 5 miles down the road her husband calls and says did you find my house ok this morning. I said yes and I got the pleasure of meeting your wife to. He says yes she seemed a bit out of sorts this morning, I said maybe next year you and here should talk a little more before I come with the firewood. He said ya maybe. I said your wood is in your driveway and Ive got the check thanks alot.
