Title: How do you tell someone...
Post by: BEG on September 23, 2009, 04:47:58 PM
that doesn't speak english that you don't want him to mow your lawn?  This guy (who is creepy by the way) came by the house a couple of days after we moved in and somehow got my husband to agree that he could mow our yard.  Then my husband thought he would mow it and called the guy and left a message that he didn't want him to mow our yard.  He shows up anyway and mowed our yard last week and then again today.  He stopped by the house yesterday and I have no idea what he wanted.  I asked if he wanted money and he said no.  I still have no idea what he wanted.  I've seen his truck drive by our house several times over the past couple of weeks, sometimes he stops out front and parks.  He makes me very uncomfortable.  I'm looking out the window right now and he is still out there.  He does a pretty good job at mowing the yard and he is pretty cheap but he is creepy.

Ask a neighbor if they know anything about this guy, or if they speak Spanish and can translate for you.

Don't let him fool you. Many Mexicans speak English, at least to a point. Tell him to leave or you'll call the Immigration Services, aka "La Immigre" . If that doesn't scare him off, call the cops.

  Go out side with your digital camera and take a picture of his plate!

My guess would be that he's feigning a lack of english, so he can plead ignorance to your wanting to end his mowing services.  As for the rest... it just sounds really creepy  :o  Be careful please

Maybe he just thinks you're really pretty.

I don't think it has anything to do with me personally.  He is just a very odd creepy man.  We did speak with the previous owner about him.  He said that he is known not to show up if he is paid in advance and we haven't even paid him yet.  I'm going to let my husband take care of it.

Oh sure, let the men do the dirty work.

SEXIST!

I guessing that because it's the People's Republic of CommieFornia, greeting him at the door with a shotgun next time is contra-indicated?

I admit, I love it when my man takes care of me.  I've never claimed to be a feminist.....ever.   :p

It USED to work when I was there. Yell, "Immigre, Immigre!!" and they would scatter like cockroaches exposed to the light!!  :-) Of course that was some 23 years ago.

Dude, before I left that cesspool, there were cases where people were calling INS (ICE) TELLING THEM where there were illegals, who they were, etc., and INS couldn't be bothered to pick them up.

Too bad you don't get John and Ken (KFI-640) in Texas.  You'd be amazed how screwed up CA has become.

The next time he is over, call the police. They should know enough spanish to tell him he is trespassing and needs to move along.

Yeah.  Some people just don't get subtlety or kind hints to GTFO.

They normally get the picture when I pull the receiver back on the .45.

Probably just as contra-indicated in Commiefornia as my shotgun suggestion was though.

BEG, have you tried blasting him in the face with about 9 trillion CP of healing white light?   :confused:
