ORIGINAL: Hood_Man The woman who used to help my elderly neighbour when he went around mowing everyone's front lawns few years ago. I say help, she never actually did anything except say to him "you need to do this bit, ok now this bit, now that bit" (he must have had the patience of Job not to run her over with the blades), and then help herself to half the money. But that's not the biggest reason. No, the biggest reason why she qualifies is because of what happened in September 2007, a few days after my dad died. We received lots of messages and cards of condolence from all the neighbours, but when we received hers all she'd done was buy a bog standard condolence card with a message printed inside it, put her signature underneath... ...and included a bill for mowing the lawn. Now, I don't care what excuse people can come up with for that, but killing two birds with one stone like is simply not done (and wildly inappropriate under the circumstances). I felt sorry for my neighbour, he was so embarrassed when he found out, and suffice to say he no longer requires her services. I don't think that's 300 words though At the afters of my Dad's funeral, an uncle of ours (not blood related) went around the pub handing out business cards for his new business. Ok, I understand he's trying to get his business up and running but I seriously thought this was bad form. It's just not the time for it and it pissed my mother off too which she didn't need. What a twat. EDIT: He was at my brother's wedding there about 2 weeks ago and we barely spoke to him. Pretty sure he knew he fucked up. Didn't stop him putting business cards in the wedding card though.
