Doing jobs for neighbours.

[Ihavenojob]

That was the way to get promoted / worthwhile salary increase / new tools with my last employer - play Golf with the company management!

And lose.
I may do a few odds and ends for neighbours which doesn't need any tools. Will do jobs for mates, as ellal says, bartering with them.

Funny how female neighbours, when they approach you with a beaming smile and much bonhomie always want something.......but for the other 51 weeks in the year they’ll hardly give you the time of day

female neighbours,

One done a favour for me. Many years ago I had digestion problems, and was told to drink breast milk. Fortunately, a neighbour had given birth and had surplus, so I was offered some. Any way, I'd been sucking for a while and she started to moan and wriggle, I thought I was hurting her, but carried on. Then she asked me if there was anything else I'd like, I said a digestive wouldn't go amiss.

Well that’s you ****ed then!

Au contraire...

I've got skills to offer...

You're just a creepy old f**cking spiv!

I've been doing jobs for my neighbours all my life.
Also, I am the unofficial tool hire place
I don't do big jobs for them for all reasons mentioned, but I supervise and project manage for free.
When I say free, I mean...
I haven't bought any wine or beer for the last 5/6 years.
Christmas pamper basket keep us going until Easter, then there's more.
However, I have only received one out of hours visit for a front door that wouldn't shut, my neighbours are considerate.
What I don't really like is when they ask me to borrow an expensive tool, knowing that I will go over and do the work.
Just ask you mug, I tell them!
