I got called a "snake," yesterday...

[Mitch Hoy]

Thanks for all the input and support, everyone. This was just a weird one. I honestly just needed some help processing it.
As fun as it sounds to roll out a keg with Rico and the boys and reign terror on the town, I'm just going to let this one lay where it's at. I've only had my own company for a couple years myself, but I have made a good name by just concentrating on creating good relationships and creating value both ways. I just want to climb trees and be my own boss, and I seem to do well just concentrating on that. This other guy has only been in business since last fall, and I think he has a few things to learn about the game. So do I.
You guys really cracked me up, thanks again.

I call that dodging a bullet. That is when you get a nudge out of a possibly bad situation. Probably a homeowner that you did not want to work for.

Just had one myself today. I had a homeowner use my reputation to get the removal permit by submitting my estimate and got approval. Then got low ball quotes from local "Arborists". Complained about my price and chose one of them as of today. $3200 job that I was happy to walk from. I know the company that he chose. Good luck and I expect a call on that one from the other guys. lol.

It happens. By the way block his number too. lol

Don't let the asshats get you down Mitch. I'm SE MN myself, and there's enough room for all of us! The nice thing about our line of work is, it's growing every year!

I suggest we all meet somewhere's, toss back a few, and go toon this ass-hat up a little (nothing too serious of coarse).. If we were not fully satisfied at that point, we could head back to the bar, toss back a few more, and tussle amongst ourselves until Johnny Law shows up. Now I don't know much about this Mitch Hoy character, or who the ill mannered texting shit-hug is, but I'm game!

Ahhhh yes.. a fitting suggestion of events to transpire Rico..!! I'd take him up on the offer Mr Garter Snake... Judging by some of Rico's ideas of good times, this would only be the start of a three day weekend followed by a very long highlight reel making a Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas scenario look like a weekend at church retreat. If i was closer I'd join y'all!!
