in being hacked off at the gardeners who tipped half a ton of shit on my drive earlier?

[Tutter]

not our gardeners per se - they come with the house we're renting

came home earlier to find drive blocked by a pile of steaming (quite literally) shit (quite literally)

i have a wide () car and a narrow drive (between tall hedges)

i had to carefully extract the dsses without scratching them/me/paintwork, then walk through the manure to get to the front door

so now ds1 and i have shitty shoes

i asked them why they hadn';t warned me it was coming. they said they assumed i was still in bed this morning (we left at 10am). chance would be a blardy fine thing, as i (huffily) told them

(i normally make them coffee and give them plentiful jaffa cakes. today i am [childishly] ignoring them)

YANBU deffo no jaffa cakes for them - perhaps a dry rich tea later if you are feeling more charitable.

Presumably this order of poo didn't just arrive or magically appear on the drive? They must have ordered it in advance and imo had time to either tell you in person or failing that put a note through the door. Also it wouldn't have been unreasonable on their part to knock on your door this morning say at 9am - perhaps not at the week end but a week day should be fine at that time!
