Terry again
We had Terry the hedge guy again today. He had two helpers with him.
Susan left soon after they started cutting. An hour into a five hour cut, I offered them tea or coffee which they happily accepted.
We had tea and cookies outside while I chatted to them. Susan’s sister Alex and her Mum Lauren arrived (as they do frequently). They joined us and had tea also while still chatting outside. Emma enjoys this annual event and likes helping to bring out the cups and whatnot.
Terry and his guys got back to it. Alex and Lauren left again. I brought in the cups and stuff.
Susan arrived:
“Why did they use my cups?” ( #control #entitlement ) .
“Eh!”
“I can’t believe you gave them my cups, why didn’t you use the other ones?” ( #control #devaluation ) .
“Whatever!” ( #fawn-response ) .
“Is he going to cut the top of the hedge? I don’t know why you get him, he’s useless anyway There’s no way I’m paying for any of that. You keep bringing these guys around here, I don’t want them, you can fuck off if you think I’m paying for any of that shit” ( #devaluation #vitriol #entitlement #narcissistic-rage ) .
“And you’re not to use my cups again, is that clear” ( #control #authoritarian ) .
At least the hedges are looking great!
