Dont talk to me, Im Busy....
I was running behind.
The day before it had rained, so I was trying to catch up on a bunch of lawns.
I pull up to the next job and I’m on the phone to my wife, and I say,
“I’m going to have to go — if I sit here for more than 30 seconds, the guy’s going to come out and start talking to me.”
Lovely guy. Just… talkative.
And that day, I didn’t have time to talk.
So I hang up, jump out of the ute, grab the weed eater and get straight to work.
After a while, I can see him in the background trying to get my attention.
But I’m focused. Head down, earmuffs on.
Go, go, go.
Dodged a bullet there.
Almost done — probably ¾ of the way through — he comes out again.
I haven’t got time to talk, but I finally take the gear off and walk over.
“Hey mate, how’s it going?”
He says,
“Good, good… I was just wondering… why are you mowing this lawn today?”
I pause.
“…Oh,” I said, “I couldn’t do it yesterday, I got rained off?”
He says,
“The only reason I ask is that it’s not due till next week.”
And that’s when I realised…
I was mowing the wrong lawn.
I was supposed to be across the road.
If I’d just stopped for 30 seconds when he was first trying to talk to me,
I would’ve saved myself a good 40 minutes.
Instead, I spent a chunk of my already-packed day
on a job that didn’t even need doing.
Has this ever happened to you, or is it just me?
