Who is 'that guy' brother, you speak of?

YOU!

No, just kidding, I meant the " ape man".

But ooof! I am set up for crazy tomorrow. I had given a proposal to a guy down in the borough to remove a crusty dead little spruce tree over a couple fences and next to the cold, bare triplex wires. I didn't tell him so but I gave him a rock bottom price. I didn't give that price just so I would get the job, it was demographics.

Even so I knew I could do it in about 3.5 to 4 hours by myself. That translates to 350 to 400 dollars American written on the proposal.

I go down there today to measure the gate to see if I can get the ball cart in there to get the logs out and run into his wife. Need I say more? Allow me to proceed:

Well the first thing she does is allow her dog to jump right into my crotch leaving it all wet and muddy. Then she says, verbatim, " We are saving for a new kitchen, will it be cheaper if you left all the side stuff?"

I said, " The branches, do you mean the branches?"

She said, " All the stuff coming out the side."

I said, " Which side?"

She said, " All that stuff coming out the side."

I said, " The branches, do you mean the branches?"

She said, " We have a fire pit."

I had enough and not only was I getting annoyed by this conversation but also because of the clamey feeling on my balls.

Now you might be thinking, " I don't see the problem" , don't worry, I will tell you.

Oh boy, wouldn't it just be great to leave a pile of dead spruce limbs in the back of a downtown yard? What you think will happen? I get asked to move them? Cut them up? Be badmouthed for leaving such a mess? Yes. Would any of that be easier for me? No, not in the slightest.

And what does this lady saving for a new kitchen have anything to do with me? Why does she even have to bring that up? To make me feel compelled to lower my price is why.

I told her that I GUESSED that if I left all the branches where they fell and do everything else it would be 350 but wasn't sure. She did NOT like that! No. She is starting to look at me like I am some kind of crazy ape man and I am starting to feel like proving it.

She said, " That is not any cheaper!"

I made a hasty exit while she was drilling into me with her eyeballs. Her husband said he would be home on Mon, Tues and Wed. I said I would do the job on Thursday, I was not planning on his wife being there which she said she would be. OH JOY!

I drove around doing stuff for 20 minutes wanting to strangle somebody cause my balls were damp, cold and violated.

I was going to do this job by myself but I called Vargo to run interference for me tomorrow. Vargo has one tattoo and its on the inside of his left wrist. It is the letters DGSI which stands for DON'T GET SUCKED IN. Once I asked him why he had it, he said, " Women."

What I am saying is that if you say that some ape man wrecked yer yard and made some lude comments while you are yammering about how good you look, posting pictures of yourself and talking about things which do not pertain to the job at hand, well, uh, um that must make me a demented, paranoid, woman hating rapist.

At this time I would like to greatly thank the staff at Arboristsitedotcom, I am pretty sure you know why.

Yes, she's gone. She even PM'd me to thank me for the kindness, but that BL's post just went too far. I'm glad to see he looked at everything closely and saw that, from what we can gather from only one side of the story, that she certainly seemed to be in the right. I wish we could contact her and bring her back. She seemed like such a great addition - very witty!

well, I won't belabor the he said, she said... but I will agree with you unc... shame she chose to leave. she did have some 'color' about her... but after all, it would be expected... with a woman interested in buying a chainsaw...

here is where I think the pin popped the balloon. I went back to my post she copied me on. down at the botton it says ... "lust lacking"... yadda dada do... I not write that! again... I did not write that! I wrote lack luster... and believe it got spell checked backwards. I reread and proof my posts and often find spell ckg changes I never wrote. all I can say in my defense is I missed this one... but I dint write it.

first of all, I would not intentionally pour salt into someone's wound. I did not know what lone wolf brought to my attention. she showed, imo... some of her ruffer sides in some of her posts, nbd... but since she did have this issue... no doubt she was sensitive to it and my comment as it showed up did not help the situation... especially since she says the deal was out of control. calling the police is a good sign she was having some problems.

I had thought the thread had a much more jovial spirit to it. or I would never have posted what to me was just some jacking around, little more than teasing...but surprise surprise...

well, maybe somebody can contact her. admin or maybe a moderator thru admin could contact her, since AS admin has subscriber's pvt email accounts. invite her back. explain the situation...

I would be more than happy to apologize to her. I can see such as written could inflame and be considered an insult. nobody likes to be insulted... fun? ok... but for real? nope!

thanks unc~

Well, at least SS is back, and that's a good sign. :rock: How are those teeth working out for you? :happy:

Its not rare or wrong for a man or woman to contradict themselves during the course of their life, however, to do it in one sentence is alarming.

Very true, you have done well by staying on topic.
We need to hand it to the OP for rolling so well with the punches and laughing at the same time.
Did I miss it, or was there a pic of the op in her thong during negotiations with lumberjack dude which could be used as an exhibit during court proceedings?

"Lust lacking" :ices_rofl::laugh::laughing:
Now that's funny!

As for the rest of it, you're a good man, BL. BL stands for "balls," for it takes some bigguns for a man to admit his mistakes. I have great respect for you. A tip of the hat and a twirl of the moustache in your general direction, sir. :rock:

I'll send her a PM and see if it works.

I don't know where to get an unregistered firearm.

Did you ever notice the only time I ever go to the firearm section of this forum is to make fun of the guys showing off about their guns?

I don't do that anymore as its much like what I said in this thread: Nobody understands what I am saying.
 
****ing BL, he couldn't stick to his guns. I suppose that is understandable considering he is just a backyard lumberjack plus the peer pressure and all.

Peer pressure. Yeah. I did take notice that not one of my peers joined in this thread save one or two who made a quick comment and split as fast as they could. I don't blame them, its a lot of pressure.

I can't help but think of what TreeVet would have to say.

I am pretty sure I am the only one left that is callus enough.

And Unc, yer not my peer and I am not yours. I do not make fun of you, I do not berate you so if you would be so kind to return the favor I won't ask you what you think about the traffic. How is the traffic anyway?

hey there Dr Pee Pee ! ' **** U2! '

everybody likes a lil a**, but NOONE likes a smarta**!

:cool: quote me! :cool:

ms TNT deserved a break, some considerations, common sense suggests she get some sympathy, understanding considering she asked and inquired. besides her arborist deal/needs turned and bit her! I don't mind showing some empathy... well, maybe not to some... ;)

I wouldn't want to run nobody off the AS... not even you! ~

cr*p like u post, wasting band width... clear to me, you don't even understand yourself! ~

thank you! I have enjoyed our chat... drop by any time. :)
