You got hit hard out there too huh? I'm in Brooklyn Park, here and Coon Rapids got hit really bad. Pretty much every house in my neighborhood got a new roof and siding.
New Roof, windows replaced in the backyard, new garage door, new gutters, and deck damage, so eventually we'll get a new deck. That was quite a storm. I was working in St. Paul that morning and our store got hit pretty hard too. That was a rough morning.
Add the guys who did our gutters to the list of irritating. When we were getting our gutters replaced, they would show up at 3 in the afternoon and would work until 8 or 9. They took 4 days to do it. They showed up at 5 PM on a Saturday and worked until 10. They left all of their stuff laying out and the ladder resting against the house. We complained to the guy who contracted them, the guy who lives on our street, and he was livid. Must have been quite a fight because the gutter guys came back to our house on that Tuesday and cleaned up their stuff. We have cameras in our driveway and as he was getting into his van, he flipped off the camera. They put new guys on the job and they had to redo all of the gutters because they weren't installed properly. That was a nightmare.
Obviously, there's a lot more to your post than the specific piece I'm replying to, but it goes on my list of "irritating": not taking responsibility. Why flip YOU off? YOU didn't fuck off the job? YOU didn't leave the ladders up against the house (that's a rookie mistake right there).
I just had this conversation with my new (lying, scumbag, piece of crap) son-in-law. ALWAYS takes the easy way out, in every facet of his life (from work, to school, to drugs, to fidelity, to whatever; you can imagine how his Army career is going), and yet it's always everyone else's fault why he's where he is, and it's everyone else's responsibility to help him. He said something like "if you support your daughter, you'll help us", and I - being the dick I can be at times - said, okay sure, we'll help. Here's the ground rules: you do a, b, and c, THEN we'll help, and the help won't be money, but we'll do x, y, and z. He has the nerve to say "Uh, that's not help." It was actually a generous offer; though considering it was him, anything more than "go fuck yourself" is a generous offer (he slept with THREE of her friends, including her best friend, who was dating HIS best friend at the time. His excuse? They were at his apartment, got wasted and it "just happnened". Easy way out.) I digress though.
Why flip off the camera? Haha.
