What really sets you off ?

when I look at a job and some chainsaw has stripped every inner branch and scaffold limb for 80 feet and the customer wants me to do the same thing, and when I talk about the structural integrity of the tree they act as if I am an idiot. Keep those umbrella trees coming....

I had a small branch invert itself and crack a storm window once, while I was doing some light roof clearance. I offered the lady some trade on other trees in the yard, structural thinning on small trees, all ground work. She happily agreed and said"Oh good thing it did not hit the stained glas behind it!"
 
mick you should probably take responsibility for what happens but i hate when a ground a ground man cant pull his weight and i have to come down to do his work then go back up
 
When ground guys watch you tie the rigging line on to a piece and then walk away as if they have no idea what is going to happen next. Oh, and racism really pisses me off.
 
People who leave their shopping carts in a parking space because they are too lazy to walk it 15 ft. to the cart return, and people who sit down to eat (indoors) and don't remove their hat.

Ok...so they're not tree related but those things really set me off.

A lot of different -isms don't sit well with me.

The hat indoors thing is a lost issue. Dad taught me 'hats off' and it does seem polite. Unless you're a guy like Ron Howard and bald as a billiard ball but to vain to let the world know that Opie and Richie Cunningham grew up :)
 
one time i was working as a contract climber for a less then reputable company and the guy pulled my rope out and left my friction saver up in the tree. it was like 5-6 in the afternoon on a saturday and he had been really pissin me off all day. to top it off he shorted me 50 bucks said he would get me next time. there wasnt a next time thank god.
 
Standing in a long line with a lady, usually old, who thinks pushing me with her shopping cart, purse, or whatever is available will speed up the line.
And chislers on work bids, usually the same type of old ladies.
