How would you handle these people?
I am not trying to start a war. I would just like to hear what some of you will say to these young people (under 35 is young because i am over 40)?
Today, my welding contractor started at about 9:00 am on some fencing and metal deck supports on the hillside. This is part of a small job we're doing. This is a yuppified area. I am not sure if I can call them yuppies. I am not sure how to describe these people. YOung moms with a Volvo or Pruis in the driveway. Many of the younger, late 20s, men ride a bike to work. These kids always seem to have some kind of head gear and carries a bag with tassels at the end.
About noon, this young lady comes over and ask if we can turn off the machine because it is too loud and its coughing up stinky smoke. They can't stand the smell and the sound of my contractor's machine because they want to work on front yard. I politely told her the welding will be done by the end of next week. We'll stop by 3:00pm and I don't want to ruin their Saturday. Within a half an hour, the "man" comes over and ask me I can stop due to the exhaust because we are killing the environment and was not OK with it. He threaten the call the police about the pollution. Its a freaking old generator. I said, OK, I'll see what I can do.
I am thinking, instead of fighting a battle where I know I am not going to win, why fight. Just say yes, and not go through with it so he walks away. What's one to do? Any thoughts?
