No good deed does unpunished.
I’m sure you guys remember the people that I plow for who are kind of always down on their luck…This winter she had a little extra cash and insisted that I take it even though I told her I would plow her for free. Once the next snow came she was immediately wanting me to plow and I told her that I would plow on my on schedule because they are a long ways away and I have a lot of things going on. I ended up having one of my friends do her mothers driveway for her and I had to barter with him to take care of it because my plow was broken. Late Saturday night I get a message from her ex-boyfriend telling me that I had better plow in a timely manner or provide them with a refund so they can find someone who can. I said I would be happy to provide a refund because I didn’t want to charge in the first place and she insisted that I take the money. Check in the mail today. Good luck to them!
It is my pleasure to plow my friends for free. I’ve “been there” without the proper equipment and feel that I should help my friends when they need it. I guess I’ll dole out my goodwill elsewhere.
Just can’t win sometimes. I’ve practically given saws to people before who were”down on their luck “ only to have them assume it came with free lifetime repairs or replacement no matter how badly they abused the saw. Bent bars , chains that clearly had been used to excavate trenches in the dirt, cracked housings and used black motor oil in the bar oil tank etc.
I just let it roll off like water on a ducks back and when they try to buy another one down the road I just happen to not have any!
More good than bad tho. I love having folks call me back who had never ran a 10-10 or something like that and hear how impressed they are with magnesium power!!!
Go dinosaurs!!!!!
