Lawn care
So the lawn care guys were crawling all over the neighborhood and one came to my door.
I extolled the virtues of my eclectic lawn - proudly describing the different plants that lived in it (one of every type of plant that grows in New England)
And the grubs and bees that attract the skunks.
He told me this was not a healthy lawn and that I should pay him money to dump stuff on it.
I offered him a deal.
For $10/mo, he could post a sign on my lawn that says,
Not a LANDSCAPE COMPANY lawn
One would assume after such a ridiculous proposition he would smile and leave.
But, he was young and persisted in trying to persuade me.
‘Til I told him that nothing he said would make me buy lawn service and he should go visit someone else.
With a friendly smile, of course.
