I've mentioned this before, but I can't help mentioning it again. You need some kind of service--cleaning roof moss, mending something that broke, garden help, etc. You call the person you need, leave a voicemail giving your name, phone number & what it is you want done. Then you sit & wait. If you're lucky you get a return call in 3-4 days, but usually it's more.
If I were in the business of providing services I would return the call the same day I received it, regardless of how busy I was. Even if it meant I couldn't possibly get to the job for several weeks I'd tell the person that. But here the attitude is "Well, I'm too busy to get to it so I won't call until I have the time." It's far more polite, if you will, to at least let the caller know you got the message & to give an estimate of how long it will be before you can show up.
Is that asking too much???
