I just don't get it!

Contractors.

We hired this guy to cut down trees. They came on Wednesday, got there sometime after 10AM cut down 1 of the 2 trees, most of which is still lying in the front yard and they were gone before I got home at 4:45. They were a no show yesterday. It was a little windy, I understand if they couldn't start the other tree but, they could have picked up the rest of the one in my front yard! So far, they are a no show again today.

Update: They did finally call today. Apparently there was a miscommunication between the work crew and the office. He thought she called us/She thought he called us...so nobody called us. It was too windy yesterday to cut and I guess there wasn't enough wood in what was left for them to haul away. They didn't come today as they were a man short. They'll be back on Tuesday. Although, I'm not quite sure what's wrong with Monday.

Tree guy #2. We wanted him for an estimate. He said he'd drop the estimate off at the house. Never did.

The chimney guy from a few months ago. He was really nice on the phone. Called me back to set up the appointment. Never showed up.

Landscapers. I called 3 of them. #1 - I left a message, haven't heard anything back from them. #2 - returned my 1st call, not my second. #3 - informed me that it was impossible to thaw dirt. No shit moron!

Our economy is in the toilet. The unemployment rate is rising. The amount of foreclosures is off the map. We're trying to a hire someone or have hired someone to do a job and they don't even have the decency to show up. Go figure!
