I understand and appreciate that you enjoy taking care of your lawn. Let me assure you, I'm not trying to take over for EVERYTHING that's required in proper lawn maintenance. In fact, my best-looking lawns are those where me and my customer work as a team to provide the best results possible. With the high quality products that I use, applied at JUST the right time, combined with your watering and mowing regiment, I'm certain that we can have your lawn looking even more fantastic than it already does, and for a comparable cost! Did you know that our applications, done by trained professionals can be done at a very comparable cost to purchasing the same, inferior products from your local garden center? Let me set you up on our 5 visit program and show you EXACTLY what our professional lawncare program can do!

Maybe that works down your posh mississauga roads There's one street where everything looks expensive, I forget the actual name of it. With our rainfall here, the only chemicals that get onthe lawn are via my dogs urine

You'd be surprised how often that, and other pathetic sales pitches actually work on people. One of my most successful methods of selling our lawncare program is to tell people it's useless and I don't want them to waste their money. Sold 6 programs this year doing that.

Every single day at work i have to deal with some fat bitch who THINKS she will fit into a size M , you can obviously tell they are L or XL, but they always go for the fucking M, not only that but they try on half the fuckng store, for nothing...

I also hate stupid bitches who wear shitloads of makeup and try on WHITE garments, they are not careful at all when they try it on and of course there's makeup stains all over the garment after they are done wasting my time.


UGH, dumb whores.

I can imagine, they're probably the people who served me in Tim Hortons & Safeway. Some of them aren't the brightest. Also, when we were having the 10 minute oil change there was this woman who was pretty thick. She probably bought double from you!

It sucks when you get up, go out, feeling great, then go to the shop or walk outside the train station, down the street whatever, and BITCHES BITCHES EVERYWHERE trying to talk you into their charities or samples. I'm just like nope. Can't even look at them, and you try to walk around them they try to block your path.

Then you keep going and have to remind yourself you're usually pretty friendly, and you're not a horrible person.

If they try to block your path, tell them that your name is justice and they're obstructing it.

Fuuuuuuu. That shit is rife in Brisbane. Everywhere now

I do the same, just say "No, not today, thanks" and keep going. I've said a few times that "Sorry, I don't do spam" and get a lol or two from them.

Being in Bris, have you had the guys come knocking on your door yet, for the electric/gas retailers? AGL etc? Total pricks. Had one guy that spoke to my fiance while I was out, and he wouldn't leave when she said "No, not interested". He told her she couldn't make any decision "Without your husband at home, because you don't pay the bills"

Edit: Ugh, people.

Originally posted by phyrrus more specifically, last Tuesday night there were 3 German girls staying with me who were couchsurfing their way through California. I took them out to eat and to a bar afterward where we met up with a few of my friends. almost immediately some middle-aged creeper began chatting them up while the rest of us conversed in the back, no big deal. we finished our drinks and the German girls, feeling a bit uncomfortable around this guy, asked if we could find another place to drink. dude follows us to the second bar and for the next hour proceeds to throw everything he's got at them, introducing them to other dudes who looked just as old and alone as he did and trying to pry his way into our table in the corner.

Yeah, this is always annoying. Recently some friends and I were out and we met up with my friends sister + her gfs. I was looking forward to dancing and having a good time, maybe trying to meet some girls there but I had to spend most of the night "looking out for" my friends sister. By that I mean - creepy guys kept trying to hit on her and after about two minutes she'd grab me and edge me in their direction so as to nudge them away and begin talking to me to slyly tell them to gtfo.


Another story - my dad has been interested on getting solar panels here at the house. My uncle in Austria has them and was kinda showing them of to us for a while (which was hilarious because my dad always makes fun of this brother of his for how he's still living in the stone age - doesn't use a computer etc) and we got some telemarketer call from a solar company. I convinced my dad to tell them to send somebody out to give an estimate and whatever else. So last weekend this guy shows up - not exactly the knowledgeable professional we had expected. He wanted to look at our power output but was unable to read it properly. I had to decipher that for him. He just came off as somebody who found a summer job and learned a script. Can't believe that's the best they could come up with to help convince ppl to spend 10s of thousands of dollars (or whatever it costs).

uggghhh people
