someone pass Lorianne a tampon
29th of Feb, 2012 by stick112
Lorianne and the dirty dozen ride oops call again!!!!!!!!!!
Weeedman winnipeg is a scam, harassing people through their card board boxes call centre
which they take down after 3 weeks. They now are hiring only 12 people aka the dirty dozen
run by thier ring leader Lorriann aka aunt flow because she is always cranky as if on the
rag 24/7, 365 days a year.
Is weedman losing business? 3 years ago they were hired 60 people plus through an outside
call centre and 20 of them were french agents the year after that was no more than 25 to 30
through the same call centre run a an ex native con fresh out of prison named Roland Mousseau
and this year only 12 people aka the dirty dozen run by Loriann aka aunt flow a dumb blonde
who dyed her hair black to try to look smarter from their remote office location behind a
strip bar called the pony corral because the strippers do lap dances reverse cowgirl style.
Rumour has it that with every free lawn care treatment customers get 20 free lap dances
That tells you alot about the service and plus there are numerous complaints on line about
weedman scamming people and harassment.
Who wants to pay several thousand dollars when you can go to home depot and buy the spray
cannister can and pesticide and do your own lawn for under $100, and have no annoying tele
marketers harassing you.
Harrassment, you want to talk about harassing people on the phone, poor seniors were telling
the weedman tele marketers that they were going to call the police because of being called
so much.
How good is weedmans tele marketing service? Loriann aka aunt flow and the dirty dozent
were even calling people living in apartment buildings to spray their lawns, and this is
the same Lorianne aka aunt flow who tries to intimidate people during interviews by thinking
she knows everything there is about call centre work.Lorianne aka aunt flow, grass grows outside
in front of homes not in apartment units. What a dumb skank!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can see now why they went from 60 tele marketers down to the dirty dozen.
and did i mention that the hours for the 60 people plus and 30 people plus were 8 hours a day
40 hours a week, now this skank aka aunt flow native wanna be who is really a dumb blonde who
dyed her hair black to look smarter know it all chick, all she is giving is only 4 hours
a day and 20 hours a week, weedman has come a along way going down the drain that is
perhaps they should start a new business roto rooter man, and spray toilets instead of
lawns, im sure that pesticide will unclog any toilet and Loriann aka aunt flow knows how to
get on her hands and knees.

- Female Tele marketer f-a-r-t-s like an elephant
Weedman Winnipeg Tele Marketer Wendy Suspended For Passing Gas
Girl's Family Says Punishment Too Steep
Winnipeg, Manitoba -- A chubby 300 pound female Weedman tele marketer has been suspended
from work because she intentionally passed gas and refused to stop eating refried
beans and drinking beer in the lunch room, according to Lorianne and Weedman
management. Wendy was also seen bringing to work "balut" by the dozen which is
chicks still inside the egg shell for snacks, we beleive that this is how she won
Ozzie over by sharing her "balut" with Ozzie, later that week co workers said that
they saw Wendy's phone number next to Ozzie's coffee cup, Ozzie being a married man
began playing hard to get and this is when Wendy began passing gas to win him over.
This was the first time we ever seen a black skinny anorexic man from the MTS call
centre in Osbourne turn blue all 6ft and 88 pounds of him.
Lorianne reported that Wendy a veteran short 300 pound tele marketer was suspended from
the Weedman call center under a company rule against disruptive behavior
and eating beans and drinking beer in the lunchroom and eating "balut" grossing out
the other co workers by pulling the whole chicks out of the egg shell before eating them.
Supervisors and co workers said Wendy repeatedly passed gas to make Ozzie laugh, but
instead Ozzie passed out from the stench and collapsed. Emergency paramedics had to be
called in to bring in smelling salt and oxygen mask to revieve Ozzie. Dave, Lorianne's right
hand man who sometimes uses his left in the mean time till the ambulance arrived didn't
hesitate to volunteer with a big fat grin on his face and huge lump in his pants to give
Ozzie mouth to mouth resuscitation with an occasional slip of the tongue.
They said the smell also made it difficult to breathe making the other tele marketers
and co workers turn blue in the face and gasping for air.
Lorianne said that when she heard Wendy f-a-r-t-i-n-g it was music to her ears like a wild
herd of elephants trumping and blowing their trunks.
Wendy's family said their daughter isn't perfect and they're appealing the suspension,
saying the manager Noel went too far with its punishment. Lorianne did say that she enjoyed
the smell of Wendy's passing gas and that it reminded her of being back home on the Reservation
when she lived in tents and everyone used to poop in the corner of the tent.
On the brighter side Lorianne just announced that Wendy will be re-instated for training purposes
and will be allowed to eat all the deep fried beans and drink all the cold beer she wants at
work and that all the Weedman tele markers with less than 12 leads an hour will be sitting next to Wendy
till their production improves.
Smelling salt and oxygen masks will now be supplied in the emergency kit next to the band aids,
which for some strange reason Dave, Lorianne's right hand man who sometimes uses his left has been
going through a box of band aids every other day, Dave claims its from wood splinters chopping
wood on his uncle's farm, but we found out that his uncle sold the farm 10 years ago, we always
wondered what a right hand man who sometimes uses his left does with his right hand. |

- Abducted by a toilet
97 year old Woman freed after being trapped on lavatory for a week
at the WEEdman Winnipeg call center
A Winnipeg Weedman tele marketer woman from Weedman call center
has been rescued after she fell into the lavatory and was trapped there
for a week.
The Winnipeg woman employee at the Winnipeg Weedman call
center, who has not been named, was only found by the emergency services
after a co worker heard her cries for help.
When an ambulance arrived paramedics found her stuck on the lavatory
and unable to get out. She was dehydrated but otherwise unharmed,
despite having spent seven days wedged in the same position.
Reports said the woman, aged 97, was found in the evening on Sunday and had
become stuck the previous Sunday evening.
Eventually she was freed when emergency services broke into the Weedman call center
office through a back door and found her in the woman’s bathroom.
"The lady was maneuvered to one side to free her. The door swings inwards
and she had her feet wedged on either side of the lavatory, " a Department
of Community Services spokesman said.
"She was very dehydrated but she was conscious."
A co worker said the woman told him she had been there since 6pm on Sunday.
"To me that meant that evening but she meant last Sunday.
“The co worker had not become concerned earlier because
it was normal to not see the woman or any other tele marketers
taking any calls during the week, he said.
"I'd never even seen her dialing any calls, " he said "but we still
got paid just the same" |

- The Weedman Guide to Taking a Dump at Work
Originally published in 2011 as "The Weedman's Tele marketers guide
to taking a dump in a call center"...this document is a living tribute to something
we all have to do at our jobs from time to time. Foul smells, rude sounds, and bad
reputations are the stuff of legend or nightmare for many a minimum wage worker
tele marketer. With this "Guide to taking a dump at work" we will "show you the ropes
and help through a difficult learning time for many, and a happy place for others...
Escapee -- A f-a-r-t that slips out while taking a leak at the urinal or forcing poop in
a stall. This is usually accompanied by a sudden wave of panic/embarrassment. This is
similar to the hot flash you receive when passing a police car while speeding. If you
release an escapee, do not acknowledge it. Pretend it did not happen. If you are standing
next to the f-a-r-t-e-r at the urinal, pretend that you did not hear it. No one likes an escapee,
it is uncomfortable for all involved. Making a joke or laughing makes both parties feel uneasy.
Jailbreak (Used in conjunction with escapee) -- When forcing poop, several farts slip
out at a machine gun's pace. This is usually
a side effect of diarrhea or a hangover. If this should happen do not panic, remain in
the stall until everyone has left the bathroom so to spare everyone the awkwardness of
what just occurred.
Courtesy Flush -- The act of flushing the toilet the instant the nose cone of the log hits
the water and the poop is whisked away to an undisclosed location. This reduces the amount
of air time the poop has to stink up the bathroom. This can help you avoid being caught
doing the WALK OF SHAME.
Walk of Shame -- Walking from the stall, to the sink, to the door after you have just
stunk-up the bathroom. This can be a very uncomfortable moment if someone walks in.
As with all f-a-r-t-s, it is best to pretend that the smell does not exist.
Out of the Closet Pooper -- A colleague who poops at work and is damn proud of it. You
will often see an Out of the Closet Pooper enter the bathroom with a newspaper or magazine
under their arm. Always look around the office for the Out of the Closet pooper before
entering the bathroom.
Pooping Friends Network -- A group of coworkers who band together to ensure emergency
pooping goes off without incident. This group can help you to monitor the whereabouts
of OUT OF THE CLOSET POOPERS and identify SAFE HAVENS.
Safe Haven -- A seldom-used bathroom somewhere in the building where you can least expect
visitors. Try floors that are predominantly of the opposite sex. This will reduce the odds
of a pooper of your sex entering the bathroom.
Turd Burgler -- A pooper who does not realize that you are in the stall and tries to force the
door open. This is one of the most shocking and vulnerable moments that occur when work taking
a dump at work. If this occurs, remain in the stall until the TURD BURGLAR leaves. This way, you
will avoid all uncomfortable eye contact.
Camo-cough -- A phony cough which alerts all new entrants into the bathroom that you are in a
stall. This can be used to cover-up a WATERMELON or to alert potential TURD BURGLARS. Very
effective when used in conjunction with an ASTAIRE.
Astaire -- A subtle toe-tap that is used to alert potential TURD BURGLARS that you are occupying a
stall. This will remove all doubt that the stall is occupied. If you hear an ASTAIRE, leave the
bathroom immediately so the pooper can poop in peace.
Watermelon -- A turd that creates a loud splash when hitting the toilet water. This is also an
embarrassing incident. If you feel a WATERMELON coming on, create a diversion. See CAMO-COUGH.
Havana Omelet -- A load of diarrhea that creates a series of loud splashes in the toilet water.
Often accompanied by an escapee. Try using a CAMO-COUGH with an ASTAIRE.
Uncle Ted -- A bathroom user who seems to linger around forever. Could spend extended lengths
of time in front of the mirror or sitting on the pot. An UNCLE TED makes it difficult to relax
while on the c-r-a-p-p-e-r, as you should always wait to drop your load when the bathroom is empty.
This benefits you as well as the other bathroom attendees.
Fly-by -- The act of scouting out a bathroom before pooping. Walk in, check for other poopers.
If there are others in the bathroom, leave, and come back again. Be careful not to become a
FREQUENT FLYER. People may become suspicious if they catch you constantly going into the bathroom.
Crack Whore -- A c-r-a-p-p-e-r that has seen more ass than a Greyhound Bus. Tell- tale signs of a CRACK WHORE
include pubes, p-i-s-s stains and s-h-i-t streaks. Avoid CRACK WHORES at all cost. Try finding out when
the janitor cleans each particular bathroom. Don't forget, a CRACK WHORE can become a SAFE HAVEN. |

– Corncobs at work
What did tele marketers use when out of toilet paper at Weedman?
Thank your lucky stars you don't work for the Weedman call center, bucko.
Let me tell you about … corncobs. You may not believe this, but it was once common practice at the
Weedman call center to leave a corncob hanging from a string in the bathroom stall
for purposes of personal hygiene. The string, I gather, was to permit the cob to be reused. For
those who were punctilious in these matters, or else blessed with an abundance of corncobs, a box
of disposable cobs might be provided if the tele marketer met his sales goal for the week instead.
On Sundays and Mondays, the cob might be replaced by a mussel shell.
For those tele marketers with 2 or more sales in the evening, paper from discarded books or newspapers
was often provided by management to either of the foregoing. The meteoric growth of the Weedman pamphlets,
for instance, is thought to be partly attributable to the protean nature of its catalogs, which, historians
tells us, might serve a family of regular habits for an entire season. As with the cob, the Weedman pamphlets
would be hung in the bathroom on a string and pages torn off as needed. It's said the use of coated stock,
which was nonabsorbent, was a source of great consternation to Weedman members who could afford to spray their
lawns at $10, 000 to $15, 000. when Weedman began printing color pictures in their pamphlets.
Families, in attempting to teach their sons to be cultivated gentlemen, often advised hoarding an
inexpensive volume of Weedman pamphlets for use in the loo. The idea, of course,
was that while you were sitting there in a contemplative state you'd be able to read
why Weedman is way more expensive than other lawn care service and most often you will find less cheaper
if you shop around, following which the paper aka Weedman pamphlet could be put to other ends,
so to speak. It hasn't escaped my notice that my magnum opus, that is Latin for stay away from Weedman,
is also well suited for this purpose. Maybe we should perforate the pages, for maximum
comfort and ease because that is all the Weedman pamphlet is good for. |

Default Weed Man Scarborough just a total scam
Just finished dealing with those "professionals" seen 0 results with my weeds in opposite just got more. All while they still promise me on the phone that 80% of the weeds will gone it is a guarantee.
Here is my post about it, I have a picture of my lawn, technician recommendation and audio recording with their guarantee.
Never ever again! 0 results, 0 customer service! |
|
|
|
| They also always "record" the conversations, but only the parts they want/need to try and screw you! |
|
|

UUGHHH i hate them! Had the same prob with my in-laws and my grandma. I have heard sooo many stories about them doing work no requested! My grandmother had another company come and spray the lawn, then weed man came the next day and sprayed it again EVEN THOUGH THE OTHER COMPANIES SIGN WAS ON THE LAWN saying that it had been sprayed the day before. Who does that?? i mean they didnt think hey maybe we should go ask her why this sign is here? She didnt renew with them, my uncle actually spefically told them not to come. I had to call and argue with them for months cause they wanted us to pay for that day that they sprayed. LOL
They also have the worst customer service EVER! they are always in the wrong and refuse to admit it!
WARNING: They love to try and take advantage of the elderly or of people who dont speak great english!!! |

| Sorry, you could STILL get a bill from them for even talking to them!!! "might" means you ordered it in Weed Man language... |

Weed man - beware unethical billing practices
The identical thing has/is happening to me in Courtenay BC. I asked for a few things to be done to my lawn in 2010 and was specific that THAT WAS ALL that I wanted. I sold the house, moved to Victoria and then find that they are billing me for work done on the property that i don't own for $500+ and for services that i didn't order. Their position is that they are a 'continuous services company' and equate themselves to BC Hydro or Telus in terms of I must let them know when i no longer want them to do work, some self created job security system. They phoned me repeatedly for services which i refused and I even told them on the phone that the house was sold and i would not be living there and still they came on the property without permission, performed unauthorized work, and then billed me for it, which of course i didn't receive until 6 months later as i am in a different city!! These guys are crooks. They won't even give an address on their website to contact. the Manager in Vancouver will not give me her last name (Lila is her first). She was rude, would not even listen to my complaint, yelled, disgusting customer service. They are not accredited with BBB and i am reporting them, along with sending a lawyer's letter to them. They want to send ME to collections. I dare them... they won't know what hit them. DO NOT DEAL WITH THIS COMPANY OR YOU HAVE THEM FOR LIFE!!! |

I just wanted to update my situation. I was successful in getting Weed Man to cancel the invoice. It took me several days and several calls per day following up with them until I got it escalated to someone that would do something about this situation. Eventhough it took alot of time, i finaly got someone there to do the right thing.
The best advice that I can give here is if you are not interested in their services, do not get into a conversation with their sales people. If you do start talking with them, the cue that you are being set up for their services is when the sales person says "For quality purposes, can I record this part of the conversation" or something similar. It is unfortunate as we were very good paying customers for them in the past. My wife will never give them a second chance. |

Weed Man's New Scam Tactics
Hey nayr,
I had the same thing happen to me last week. I recently posted to this site after having Weed Man aerate my lawn and invoice me for the services, despite the fact that I hadn't requested their services AND told them last Fall to remove me from their contact list.
I filed a complaint with BBB and had it closed "successfully." Ha! Was called two days letter and had the same thing happen to me as your wife - they recorded only words from our lengthy conversation and spliced them together to make it sound as though as I had agreed to use their services again. Unbelievable. They even showed up at my home and fertilized my yard (and of course left another invoice), which infuriated me as I just had my lawn fertilized two days prior. I plan to hold them accountable for any damages resulting from two doses of fertilizer.
I hit the roof when I saw that they had returned and accessed my property. I'm not playing nicely this time. Stay tuned... |

Default Weedman using unethical selling tactics
We used Weedman for several years. Last year when they called, my wife explained that we did not want their servicesc this coming year. During the conversation, she was trying to be polite and said yes to receiving some information about their new products. While she thought she was saying yes to receiving the information, he worded it as if she was saying yes to a service package. Ironically, this is the only part of the conversation that was recorded and kept by them. When we complained after someone came to do the first application of the package, they quickly played the only piece of the conversation that they kept. When I called them, they were willing to cancel the package but refused to cancel the first 161 dollar application. I tried to explain the issue and they would only state that they had a recorded confirmation. They also claim that they only kep a copy of the confirmation. They also claimed that they sent us a copy of the contract which we could have canceled. Obviously, we were not looking for a contract but the info package they were suppose to send. I ddo not intend to let this go and I will be contacting Consumer Protection about this. I just wanted to let others know about their new tactics in duping people into business they did not request. Anothe tip is if they ask you if it is okay to record for quality purposes, that is your cue to know that they next thing they will say is setting you up for confirmig a sale regardless of how you interpret it. Please beware of these people. |

| Huge problems with Weedman here too. My parents had always used them when I was younger so I called them to deal with weeds in the lawn. I specifically said it was for weeds only, no need for fertilizing etc but they kept on trying to push the extras and it wasn't polite. The weeds never disappeared... they just kept up as they always had and in some varieties, better. Those stinging ones that look like dandelions? They flourished and I have two little ones. They keep calling etc and even with written notice keep slinking around until told to get moving. I DARE them to start charging me again . |

I worked there also.
Weedman is a company that actively tells the employees to scam people though they don't call it a scam. We were told to ACTUALLY invoice people who had no contract at all with us. This is highly illegal and against provincial and federal laws but because the Minister is not doing anything to enforce the laws (Weedman is not even following the recent compliance order from the govt) the scamming of innocent Canadians continues.
I left the company in disgust.
However the main reason they continue is because we have a weak government that will not stand up for its citizens. That is the real horror. |

Feeling terrible..
I used to work for WeedMan as a CSR in Ottawa. Needless to say, I was only employed there for 2 months before I quit because I realized my job was to withstand the daily frustrated consumer calls. We were instructed to NEVER offer to settle a client invoice, regardless of the situation. I was so stricken with grief for these poor people who had never even signed a contract, agreed to the services or even CONSIDERED the lawn services. My office manager, Amanda Blythe, had no compassion whatsoever for any clients, and sent many of them to collections, forever impacting their credit, without firstly discussing what the client’s issues were.
Despite customers many daily calls to the office requesting to be removed from calling lists and promotional items, we were instructed to still call them and try to get services in the following year!! The never ending call flow of irate customers far surpassed those of satisfied clients. I feel terrible even having participated with this company and I would hope you wouldn’t sign on with them.
Weedman will put forth their best attempt in order to take your money. They will stop at nothing, even destroying your credit, in order to make a dollar. This company is unethical, immoral, unfriendly and by far THE WORST company I have ever worked for. |

Who Can Stop the Weedman's Lies & Fraud?
It started with the cold call..."Hi I can see your house here on Google Earth and I can see you have 1, 000 square feet of lawn...blablabla..."
My property is just over 87, 000 square feet, which I told him, yet the price he quoted remained the same.
I could write a novel from the events that went down this summer with these guys, and in fact I do have it all documented with pictures.
They cannot provide the service they are selling, namely 'weed control'...all they do now is 'spot treatments'...???
First they tried sprinkling this white cornmeal looking stuff called Sarritor, on 1 out of every 1000 weeds. I was told they didn't have enough product, but wait till end of summer we'll have lots.
Then they tried a new product named Fiesta that they could spray.
The first 'spraying' was invoiced but not done, the only way I found out that it was came by way of their collection agency telling me! That's fraud in my humble opinion.
When I called them they sent out a supervisor who took alook around and saw that there was no black Fiesta spots to be found and promised to send the guy back to spray. The truck showed up and promptly parked about 25 feet off the driveway onto the lawn!!! He did about a third of the lot and left. I called, same super comes out, agrees he missed most and promised to send a different guy back. When this new guy shows up, he breaks a garden light, knocks over 3 flower pots (and leaves them), spills Fiesta on the driveway...and left my lawn stained with 16" wide black lines that are still visible.
I have more weeds now than ever before!!
Ahh, now I see...If you want weeds, call the Weedman.
Next year I'm going to be smart and call the Lawnman!
My bad! |

I have never asked for their service.
One day, a kid with weedman shirt came over asked me to help him do a research on our community. Two weeks later, WEEDMAN came and fertilized my lawn. I called them, they said they will cancel the service.But yesterday I received a bill that say i was late pay for their service. I called them, the woman who answer the phone named Sandra was very rude and she threaten me to pay the bill otherwise they will let collection to reduce my credit.
I wonder who can stop WEEDMAN being such a big lier. |
