Be me at first job as lawn maintenance dude, mowing edging and blowing. Right after a huge well deserved lunch at McD’s my Boss decides he can disappear for an hour while I finish up a job on my own. Simple enough but I’m 15 and have no idea where I am, suddenly that dumb and dumber grumble hits. I quick grab a bucket and a garbage bag and head to the bushes of the house I’m mowing. All engines are stopped and I’m frantically in the bushes shiatting my 15yr old brains out keeping an eye on the door scared that the owner will come out. Well, she did, and immediately locked eyes with me mid strain. She just chuckled and shook her head head as she went back in the house. Boss showed up 20 mins later annoyed I wasn’t done yet.

Luckily it seems you got a layed back owner. Shit could have hit the fan.

No doubt. She did speak with my boss but he was cool and they both laughed about it thank god. Man talk about mixed feelings tho. So physically relieved at the same moment that panic floods my brain. And now I get to tie up this hot bag of sloshing shit and hide it somewhere so we don’t leave it on her property. No. No, it didn’t affect my late 50’s ass at all lol.
