Then there are the cigarette butt people. All construction workers throw their cigarette butts in the homeowners yards no matter how many times you tell them not to do it. That's just what they do, I've had them do it at my own house when work was being done. Like a normal person I paid them and just picked the cigarette butts up after they left, but not the cigarette butt people.....
Cigarette butt lady: Hi, I was just calling to inquire if it's common practice for your employees to litter the customer's yards with cigarettes.
Me: No of course not, is there some kind of problem.
Cigarette butt lady: Well yes there is, your employees threw cigarette butts in my rose bushes and instead of picking them up myself I decided to call you and make you apologize like a dog because I have nothing better to do with my life and it makes me feel good. I don't feel that I should pay the check until the mess is cleaned up. My lawn man also found aluminum scraps in the yard and said someone could have ripped their foot off.
Me: I'm sorry, I'll get someone out there. What is the address.
Cigarette butt lady: I live 80 miles away from your central location. And nothing makes me happier than to know that you won't make a profit on my job after I made your workers ( fucking incompetent retards) change things around that weren't on the contract and then had them change it back because I didn't like how it looked and then had them come back to pick up 5 cigarette butts.
