Signs you are dealing with a 'Rooter'

Jesus fuckin Christ! Some people couldn’t give a **** about anyone else.

there are companies that recycle used oil and it’s not very expensive anymore.

Why shouldn’t they charge? I pay form my domestic waste to be collected. Skips too. Why would any sane person pour oil down slats when there is a simple clean way do dispose of it?

Because it's actually valuable stuff you are bringing them that can be recycled into new oil.

A lad I used to work for 2 vice grips on the battery poles of a digger and he take battery out and put it charging about a coupple of times a week, machine not charging. Jesus they were mane the mother used to handle the wages a wicked ould hag and you get your pay packet and you get a cheque some cash and even coins, anything to try and confuse a lad.

That takes me right back. I used to deliver coal and fertiliser into a yard in Mullingar and the lad was moving battery between forklift and truck the same, of course forklift had no breaks either. Jez that was early 90’s

The cheque would be in the post but I have lost my cheque book.

Lad not too far from me used the net off the bales to string between 2 sticks to create a fence in a gap.........tragic attempt

None of them lads would be any better off for all their idot ideas. Abit of depression going on too.

Once is bad, but twice... Is he still washing stuff in the lake?

Sorry to drag up a zombie thread, but my own antics over Christmas made me think of it:

Training ewe lambs (to eat ration) across Christmas....

Trailer on the jeep Christmas day drawing around square bales to cattle...

Rolling ring feeders a hundred yards through coarse ground to get them to said trailer to move them Stephen's day...

I'm definitely a rooter then...

Undid/cut/broke it, has it wrapped around some of the posts for a good earth and then back up over the top strand.

No talking to him he passes it everyday and its the first thing people see coming into the place so it shows how much of a f#ck is given about the place. I wouldnt be one for minding what anyone else thinks of the place or anything like that but id try have some pride in the place and have things kept right just for the sake of less hardship if nothing else.

Hard to tell really the fella before him held onto everything till the last breath and spent **** all on the place over the years. Two right lads to talk about getting hardship etc over the years but they just put the hardship on themselves and wouldnt mind what they had. There was a nice little ford tractor here twenty years ago which got absolutely dogged and abused over the years whereas if it had to be minded and given some bit of an easy life theres no reason it wouldnt still be the main workhorse here today. Instead pushing 80 years of age he heads out and buys a poor enough brand of tractor brand new only to absolutely dog that too, you couldnt make it up. No door on the tractor as once was enough to replace it instead of just learning to close the door on it, not one light on the dash is working and the handbrake id say was gone after 6 months on it, the front rims had to be replaced after 1500hrs due to the dogging it got and that would have been 1500hrs over ten years its an absolute henhouse and the cab is usedfor storage too. Five years ago the floor of the cattle trailer needed replacing he asked a local fabricator at the time would he do it he couldnt do it at that time and instead of arranging a date to do it he threw a few sheets of marine ply down on the floor instead. I can see the place becoming one of those places where theres a handful of cattle running around and hay cut and thrown in the ditch because you couldnt sell it to anyone for fear youd have a bad winter yourself. Theres already one or two fields going that way nearly as is just cut once a year in september and thats it never mind the fact hes renting land when he cant even manage what he owns.
