Man I did some work for this old lady before xmas. She drove me around the fricking bend.

This lady owns 20 properties freehold and I was doing some painting / decorating for her.

I agreed to work at one place for a week before xmas. Well she told me her whole life story, over and over, about her scizophrenic father who was mean to her, about her partners mentally ill daughter, etc etc etc.

Man and she was nearly 70 and she was up the ladder painting right next to me, Telling me how she hates indians and asians and how the white mans days are numbered. Oh yeah and women that make rape complaints are making it up.

Meanwhile she was pretty fair on the pay dept so i put up with it.

But then she began to pressure me to paint another 10 buildings - shit I told her I'm getting the hell out of town for xmas and found her another painter to do the job.

OK bye bye granny from hell.

But then she went and made a false complaint to the outfit that finds me work that I owed her money - FOCKING BEEWITCH !!!

    Yea, it wouldn't be right to hit her. Just remember, she'll get hers sooner than you think. People can't go through life like that forever you know. I'm surprised it was just Asians and Natives she was talking about. But you did a good thing by leaving. I would have done the same. I refuse to tolerate people like that.

    Hi Gareth, of course you can. Challenge her to a pillow fight. But she will probably have a few horseshoes in hers. But what the heck, bruises go after a while.

      Isn't she just doing what every old person has the right to do; to complain about everything?!


      To answer your question though, I have decided to pose a few of my own...

      Do you have hands?

      Can you make fists with these hands?

      Can you use these fists to hit things?


      If you answered "Yes" to all of these questions then you can in fact "hit grandma".

      You still shouldn't though.

      Unless you follow the lesson set forth by South Park and shout "she's coming right for us" before you lash out at her.

      Seemed to work when they took out some endangered species!

    That was severely sick Harvey.

    Gareth - you can hit her, but don't get too cocky - you'd look pretty silly standing in front of the judge pointing to a shrunken up little old lady saying "she beat me up".

      Don't hit grandma. That would make you look like a very mean and cruel person. Just knock her ladder down next time you two go painting together. If she reports it to the police, who would believe such a helpful, hard working man like you could do such a thing. She is old and delusional you know; especially with a scizophrenic father and been talking trash about rape victims, indians, asians, and the end of days for the white boys. No cop around here would stand for that kind of talk; and might just smack her down himself. 'Course, that's LA cops I'm talking about; New Zealand cops may treat their grannies with more deference.

    This woman had a severely adverse affect on my emotional well being. But its been 3 weeks now. I am starting to weave her out of my consciousness, the anxiety is fading.

    Possibly one of my "BIG FIVE" all time worst customers in ten years.

    Most are very pleasant I might add.
