An Irritating Woman

My turn to vent.  And I do mean VENT! It isn't pretty.  Just beware.

My son shovels snow for a woman.  This woman is one of the most irritating I know!  We no longer have the big snow blower that we did last year and have been trying to tell her all summer that he could no longer shovel the end of her driveway.  He could do the sidewalks, but not the driveway.  It gets really deep when the plow goes through and would take an incredible amount of time and energy to get the job done.  So, if she wanted, he could still do the sidewalks, but not the driveway.  Also, if she would rather hire one person to do it all, he'd understand.

We've been trying to tell her that all summer.

She then pulls the old sob story on me that her husband used to do it and she doesn't understand why my son can't.  I simply said to her, "Well, that's your husband, not mine."  I explained again that we do not have the equipment. Son also told her that he did not have the necessary equipment.

So, tonight she calls and she said to son, "I finally figured out why you can't shovel the driveway for me."  Son replies, "Oh?"  and she says, "Yes, it's because you have allergies. I don't know why your mother just didn't tell me that to begin with, but instead she was just so persistent that you couldn't do it."  further bringing in comments about how her husband could and mine can't.  What the frick ever!

First off -- can I just say one more flippin' farking fricken time - WE DO NOT HAVE THE GODDAM EQUIPMENT TO DO THE JOB!!!?? OMGosh!! For Pete's sake!! Is the woman just so impossible and what ever!@!!!! that she won't listen?

Secondly -- son does NOT have WINTER allergies!  We told her he couldn't mow for her in the summer because he had allergies.  However, I was told that one of my co-workers said to her today, "Well, doesn't Ricky have allergies?"  So, now she's all on the allergy kick.  I just KNOW, without a doubt, that she is going to broach the subject with me while I'm at work.

Third -- she also asked him to do the sidewalk, approach and driveway to a small & closed business of hers.  Son and hubby checked it out and decided that it was too much to do without a snowblower.  Okay fine.  She went through two of my co-workers trying to find a kid to do it.  Finally, she found one. However, she totally changed the job - said they just needed to do the sidewalk directly in front of the building and nothing more.  Son isn't too happy that she, once again, changed her mind - thus son loses the job.  However, I am glad that he doesn't have to do anything more for her.  I don't think an employer/employee relationship with her is a good idea.  She just WON'T LISTEN!!!

Whatever, I'm so sick of that woman! I hope to God that I don't EVER have to wait on her again, she is too irritating and I don't know what I'd say the next time she mentions my son to me.
