If someone had the temerity to complain about a service I was providing out of the goodness of my heart, my unspoken response would be, "Well, then, fuck you, do it yourself." I like the response somewhere above of expressing regret that the job had not been done to her exacting standards and stopping any further services so as not to trouble her with poorly done work. It would probably be hard to keep a slight hint of sarcasm from creeping in.
We put up a tall fence a couple of years ago, after our much-beloved former neighbors moved. The people who moved in have a very large German shepherd who leaves very large "calling cards." The owners would regularly let him out without supervision, and he would head right for our yard. No owner clean up. My husband spoke to both adults several times. The man's suggestion was that we marks the deposits with those little flags on wires so he would know where to look (not only no, but HELL NO), and the wife claimed that we couldn't know it was their dog because, "there are all kinds of dogs running loose." Our town has a leash law, and there are NO dogs running loose except theirs.
We miss our former neighbors terribly.
