Title: Have i been conned ???
Post by: Blue Frog Systems on July 28, 2009, 07:15:21 pm
Got to a job today, £6 4weeker for an 87 yr old lady who is one of my first ever customers. Been there 5 times now and always have a chat with her.

Anyway she says to me ill pay you now, gives me a £5 note and says dont worry about the pound change... your a hard worker.

I didnt have the heart to say anything to her. She seems as normal (sane that is).

Reckon she got the price mixed up or conned me ?  ;D

Between you and the milkman I bet she's got a right scam going.

I can just imagine the conversation between her and her older sister; " Those dozy buggers, I get them every time!!!"

She's saving for her hols mate, and you and the milkman are paying for it ;D

Thats FREAKY and probably true. She went to visit her sister this morning and just got back before i got there. She did say after she paid me that she had to ring her sister. Thats not a joke... she really did go to visit her sister and say about ringing.

Her gardiner is due tomorrow... bet he gets short changed too.

If any of my customers take me for a quid i either trample over their  plants, nick something out of of their garden or key their car. Two wrongs do make a right  ;D

Had 2 cases of overpayment by ladies reaching sell by dates:

1) a luvverly one had just been looking at old piccies & after paying her normal £3.50 wanted to tip me for the year. ( don't do Xmas) she was rolling £5 notes into my outstretched! At £25 ihad to stop her & gave it back. She looked at me puzzled and then came back to the present & nearly went into shock at handing all her pension over.

2) sad case of Old Timers; normally £4.50. Threw bundle of twenties out the upstairs window. Don't know wot the cater thought after they went back in the letterbox.
