The Weed Man

The other night a representative of "Weed Man" came to my door offering a free quote for lawncare during the upcoming summer season. This was the second time that "Weed Man" stopped by my house posing this question. I was a little disgruntled having to explain that "NO, I do not want a free estimate for you to spray chemicals on my lawn that cause me to mow twice as much this summer".

I kinda wanted to ask him...."You are not really a lawncare service are you? Don't you sell weed like your name suggests?" You would almost think that it would be a great cover for a drug distribution ring. Make it so blatantly obvious that you sell drugs that the local law enforcement would never suspect anything. Paint your distribution trucks green and yellow with the title "Weed Man" right on the side! I think its a perfect cover up....posing as a lawncare service. I though this was a case the first time that they came to my door step when there was still 12" of snow on the ground!

The guy from "Weed Man" rings my doorbell and when I answer he asks me "Are you ready to start thinking about lawn care for the upcoming season?"....I wanted to reply "NO, I'm thinking about how how stupid you look in your yellow jacket asking me about lawn care when its 20 degrees with snow on the ground." I politely said "NO thanks".


The problem is that I may actually get a lawncare service this year. "Weed Man" with there door to door soliciting have turned me off from purchasing their services. The creeping charlie is getting so bad in some spots that it starts to look like a green shag carpet. I just won't be calling the "Weed Man".
