It Pays To Be Nice
27 Answers
... what goes around comes around ...
Just wandered out the front to bring in my bins and was accosted by huge scary bloke in hi-viz jacket - "Is it OK if we park here?" - points at transit and trailer with mowers & stuff on road outside my front garden.
"Of course - no problem - any time" (frankly I'd have let him park on my lawn - he was quite big ...)
"Only the old bloke who used to live here could be a bit funny about it"
"Well I'm not - it's a public road & you are welcome to use it"
"Cheers Boss - do you want your lawn done?"
"It's not part of your contract - my private bit"
"That's OK - no charge - it will give the apprentice a bit of work to do"
"Cheers - do you want a cuppa?"
"Ta - two with sugar, one without"
So I get my lawn mowed, they get a tea break & we're all happy that the world is a nice place
