Awesome Road Rage by The Gutter Doctor

I think they're doing that just fine by themselves, judging from the guy I talked to, and some reviews.

Just like good old Rob Yost, self-inflicted bad publicity,
nothing like douchebaggery to sink a business.

So when I was telling the story to my brother he told me to call the police. A few others echo'd that sentiment, so I did. They are sending a unit over to get my statement and it sounds like they may want to press charges.

I love situations like this, where I did absolutely nothing wrong. It's rare that one party is 100% at-fault in a situation like this. I feel good knowing that I didn't respond to his aggression, trying to run me over, etc. because if this gets escalated he's got absolutely nothing on me.

Sometimes it feels good to be the guy who's always on the straight edge. LOL

Cool. Keep us posted.
I did a Google search on Gutter Doctor and Review. Not only did some bad reviews come up, so did this thread.

Good on you. People who commit crimes deserve to be charged. You don't get to just go around threatening people any more.

Curious to see what comes out of this. Waiting for gutter doctor to find this thread to make it more interesting lol

[A790]

Talked with the cops. I'm not sure if this is worth pressing charges over, but at the very least it should make the guys day interesting.

Can I buy the film rights to "The Gutter Doctor"? You know, if and when this escalates into a something larger. The title alone is pure gold. I'm open to casting recommendations. Nick Cage, don't even bother to call.

I had a like run-in with a driver for Shane Homes, he tried to run me off the road and spent the next ninety-seconds swerving to hit my car. Crap title, "Shane Homes". Put me off the builder to this day. Dash cams are now a must have in this spastic playground we call Calgary.

Did he threaten you? Or was it just name calling?

Not downplaying what happened because him "almost" hitting you is a complete dick and reckless manoeuvre. But that's the problem, he "almost" did. Assholes should be punished but in this case, your word vs his, hopefully the cops gave him a firm talking.

It wouldn't surprise me if the guy was the manager given that these are usually pretty small operations. My cousin has his own company that does the same work and it's just two guys. I think the way he carries the stuff in his vehicle already warrants a call to the police. And someone correct me if I'm wrong, but a company vehicle with that much advertising would need a commerical plate wouldn't it?

Just because I'm sure this will come up in the google search for this comapny. I thought I would mention that I used to use Gutter Doctor to clean my gutters, but I new use Aqua Clean and they are less than half the price. They are excellent to deal with and I have had zero issues with them. I would heartily reccomend Aqua Clean for your gutter and window cleaning needs in Calgary Alberta.

Ha weird, that's my old house right next to that salmon pink one he's working on.

Nothing to contribute though, stick it to the man!

Well, as the cop said, they are taking it seriously because he turned his truck into a weapon. The fact that he stopped inches from me is irrelevant (according to the cop I talked to). He said that it would be difficult to prove intent (whether he was trying to intimidate, wanted to run me over but changed his mind last minute, etc.). I said anything that we can do to be a pain in this guys ass is a win as far as I'm concerned.

This dude needs an "asshole" tax. I'm not on board with placing charges, but if he gets a fine or something for being a douche that'd be pretty hilarious.

I'd be embarrassed if I got fined for being a dick.

He's actually the franchisee. Gutter Doctor is a franchise based business. This guy owns a franchise (there are three in Calgary). Hilariously, I was easily able to find all sorts of information on him once I learned that little tidbit.

It's pretty clear to me he isn't the sharpest tool in the shed.

Hmm, this thread is the top of page two on Google when you search for "the Gutter Doctor" and the bottom of page one on Google when you search for "the Gutter Doctor Calgary."

I suspect we'll be hearing from our enraged franchisee soon enough

[mr2mike]

To get to this site, I just go to google.ca and type in "Gutter Doctor Calgary". Then I find the link from there about the road rage and I find it easier than going through the whole beyond forum to look for it.

Dude, anybody that cleans gutters for a living in a city like Calgary, Im surprised this is news to you.

[GQBalla]

hope he gets what he deserves.

In before Gutter Doctor chimes in with a lawyer threat!

I dunno man, I don't see it any differently than I see carpet cleaning (and related). I made a good $70+/hr when I carpet cleaned and I'm not a dumb dude either.

These guys charge hundreds of dollars for a few hours worth of work. Seems decent to me.

The ROI on gutter cleaning is approaching Raking. it's that lucrative.
