I did a domestic today, and last summer all the apple tree's around the property dropped there apples, nice you might think, well I went there today and they are still on there terraced area, all rotten and stinking, made the ground like an ice rink,
I'm not talking half a dozen apples here, I'm talking hundreds, dragging my hose through rotten fruit is worse than shog dit ;D
I wiped the hose as I reeled it up and had a hand full of rotten fruit come the end.
If I was stopped on the way home, I'm sure the police would swear I had been drinking cider.
How can people leave there gardens in this state for so long I expect it to be the same next time ::).

I find a problem dragging my hose through many things that are annoying, dog and cat s**t grit, sand soil mud but never come accross apples yet. Im sure i will :'( ;D
This applies to the wheels on my trolley as well ::)

Hi Lesa
Steve was putting it politly its what most of the guy's are talking about ;D
It Makes my blood boil when I come across this type of garden, it takes only a few seconds to clean up there animals mess, but a lot of them are just so lazy.
I walked in to one garden once and the whole yard section was covered in it, to get around to price the windows I would have had to learn hop scotch, no chance I just turned and walked away from it.

Good on yer Jeff, I think cat muck's even worse. >:( It's worse when you do WFP because it's all over yer hose & everything. Now I wear glove all the time even if I'm roasting. Anyway as I say I'm not doin one's with dog mess in their gardens anymore, but cat muck is usually from the owner of another house because they tend not to do it in their own garden. :o How about you Sarah what do you think?

I have one customer who is so lazy, when I go to clean her windows at the back there are nappies all over the ground. Instead of putting them in a bin first time she just throws them out the window onto the floor.
She does eventually pick them up.

I've dropped customers in the past because of dog poo 'traps' everywhere; but what narks me is some of the little alleyways I have to traverse to get to the rear of a few accounts and some dirty git just lets their dog poo there; not picking it up after them.
It really winds me up; it's a lazy-sneaky thing to do; and when the alleyway is no more than two-foot wide; of course someone's going to stand in it.
I've also let accounts go when they've got all sorts of debris ranging from old furniture to piled up bricks or scaffolding left under windows, creating access problems month after month.

Cats poo is the worst because they tend to hide it. Few months back I'm up the ladder and can smell poo. What's happened is I've trodden in it, gone up and now every other rung is caked in it. Had to hose the ladders down before I could use them again....and I could still smell it for the rest of the day....yuck!!

If a garden is too pooey I wont drag my hoses in it. I just tell the customers that i dont want the poo all over my gear and you can bet 90% of the time they say something like "I normally scoop every morning, I must have missed a couple. I'll clean it up before next month" You know for a fact that next month there will be a new set of jobbies to wade through.
I have 2 greyhounds and they can curl some mighty tusks but it dont take 5 mins to bag it and chuck it over the fence bin it.
