Title: Great Call
Post by: Haddon on September 02, 2011, 02:29:49 PM
Yesterday I had a apartment complex call for a removal I didn't have time to talk to the lady told her to send me some pictures and I would call tomorrow.

Well didn't send the pics but I call back.

I tell the lady who I am she says well someone was expose to come this morning but didn't show up you can come if you want.  :? I tell her well it would be next week before I can get to it. She then says call back next week if we haven't gotten it taken care of you can come out. I then asked don't you want to know my rates  :? she says you can tell me when you come. And we hang up.

At this point I don't know where they are at what they are be it honey bees or wasp. So I call back maybe she just doesn't know anything about bees let me educate her and get 300 to 500 extra bucks  :-D

I call back start talking fast telling her about bee removal ask if its honey bee she doesn't know. Tell her if its outside I may have to rent a lift seeing that its second story or if I can get to them from in side the apartment would be exposed to a honey bee hive. Girl cuts me off tells me to call back next week if they have not had it taken care of I can come out. lol

You know my favor dive when I was a teenager had a sign that read price is dependent on your attitude I think this might be my cash cow if I do it.

Just thinking about this crap makes me laugh thought it might do the same for some of you. I have had a lot of strange calls this is the first that didn't seem to care what I charged or what my services where.

If you have any strange ones I would love a good laugh.

Or "I think that's too expensive, but while you're here, why don't you do it for free."
