Yesterday I texted a 17 year old kid that had been mowing my parents yard for the last two years and asked him if he would want to help me for about an hour today @ 1pm to help me unload 2 tons of bagged coal (40# bags). Ive been doing it myself but figured with some help it would go way faster. He said "absolutly" Well he shows up @ 11am while I'm off getting the coal, hes sitting there with his girlfreind when I get home at noon. So he says "how long do you think this will take, my girlfreind wants to know if she should stay". Well that just hit me wrong, you see this summer he became more unreliable mowing after doing a great job the first year. The difference was he got this girlfreind. Now bear in mind we wete paying this kid 15$ an hour to mow with our equipment. So getting back to today, I tell him to never mind and it seems his girlfreind is running his life. He gets mad and tells me to find someone else to mow, which I responded that I was sure to do that, and then I reminded him that 15$ was pretty good wages for such an irresponsible person such as him. At which point he told me to "go f@#k myself"! Well that earned him a call to his mother to inform her what a fine young man she had (she was mortified ) Then to top it off tonight, as my wife and I pulled into our own driveway the dirtbag, system abusing neighbor whom I had to tell to stay off our property because this summer after I gave him permission to launch his peddleboat from our land near the river took it upon himself to 1. invite some people to camp there 2. invite some people to bring their dirt bikes and ride and 3. grow a couple of pot plants. So hes in his kitchen window flipping us the bird !
I guess i've turned into a grumpy ol man at 54. Thanks for letting me vent Chris
