        I'l continue with the rants:
        Working my ass off in Texel. We had left instructions for the old hedge surrounding the property to be removed, and a new fence to be set up. Except that they left out one of the rear corners, for no real reason. Except for being lazy maybe, because it is difficult to get to. It's astonishing to see the language barrier between Dutch and German returning when you start to complain.
        I have now all of the old hedge removed, but now I have to buy the missing pieces for the fence. Proves to be difficult on an island, with shipping rates from the mainland being astronomically high.
        Currently looking into renting a small truck on tuesday, and pick it up myself.

          language barrier

          Is it one of those convenient language barriers that works out in their favour? Always could put it to the test and say that you're not paying unless it's done. Sometimes it works wonders on translational issues 😉

            @goosehd Of course that's the case here.
            But the problem is two fold. I paid the company for the new fence after I received notice from the recreational park management that they finished their work.
            It was the park management's task to remove the old hedge beforehand, and in the pictures they sent they conveniently left out that corner. And they will deduct their pay from the rent for the house, as we rent it out through them while we're not using it ourselves.

                  And if she gets all lippy and says something to the effect, "But dad, have you seen the state of Giles's fishing room?", then feel free to say that Giles is NOT a good role model.....

                    ...and we just had the "now doesn't this look better, and did you need me to yell for it to look better" talk. 🙂

                    I'm sure I might have heard it once or twice when I was younger....

                                We pay our kids to do the chores. That way they’re motivated to do the work without complaining and the money we give
                                them is what we would have given them anyway when they ask for shit like ice cream or toys or clothes or whatever. We make them pay for it all. 😏

                                      I always thought that this language barrier thing towards your significant other was something that comes naturally, regardless of language.

                                        Random rant: If you can't control your dogs don't have dogs! I got attacked by two pit bulls tonight and I thought my dog was going to die in the street, but I got on top of him and shielded him with my body and my trusty N1 Deck Vest (thanks Iron Heart)! No but legitimately used the vest to stop them from biting my dog. Rant over! Don't be a bad dog owner.
