Your in work and get a call from a girl up the yard saying shes been locked in the yard (we have a main gate which is used by another woman who dislikes our YO and she locked it)

You give the girl the YO number.

The girl calls you back and says YO doesnt have a key (odd!)
-you say your in work (I am) and cannot come down to let her out, you give her another liveries number in the hope she may be able to help instead.

You then get a text from the YO's daughter who is quite young:

R u coming to let Jessica out of the yard?
(Now i read the above as an assumption?)

Now i think im a tad sensitve anyway because i dislike my yard very much but cannot move.. would you find this rude or am i over reacting?

Im probably overreacting!

Leave livery to it - she will learn not to forget her key in future

. Why would your YO not have a key for her yard??

I would think that it was a bit odd that A) the YO didnt have a key and B)neither did the girl locked in - I mean itf its the main gate surely everyone should have one??
I wouldnt think it was rude per say, but you had already said you were in work and so couldnt leave, so its a bit pointless people asking you (when your not even the YO!!) to let this person out!! x

she said that she gave it to someone and never got it back but i know her groom/DIY/Yard man has one so maybe thats why? He doesnt work weekends though.
 
I wouldn't say it ws rude exactly but a pain in the ass all the same.

I would ignore it - pretend you are in a meeting or something.

They'll sort it out somehow.

No. You were at work. It was not life and death. Others have a key. You are not the YO. Out of interest, do they know you want to move?

The YO knows im not very happy there, but sometimes i wonder if they assume im the one in charge as i get phoned/complained to about everthing (from YO) and get expected to arrange everything which frustrates me as im just a livery! (worming etc)

Is not just the YO, its the other liveries also- its everything and its just not the fun/relaxed place it used to be.

I'd leave her to it - it's not your problem, however much she/her daughter wants to make it yours! Of course you'll get "the evils" when you see her next, but I'd rather annoy fellow liveries than my boss

CF I thought you'd moved on to a yard on your own in July?

After you had the problems with the other yard and your mum got into that arguement with the son?

Did you leave there?

Thats where i am, its not my own yard.. its a private part of a big yard (again a privte yard not a livery) and originally it was just me and another girl but the YO built another 2 stables and advertised these out so now theres 4 people up there incl. me but i never see 2 of them as they never ride or come up.
I asked to rent the whole lot for myself but the YO can make more money doing it this way (which is fair enough!)
 
I think it is quite rude. It should be the YO's job to ensure she has a key to use and that other liveries are not locked on the yard - not yours! It is even more annoying because you explained that you are at work, so letting someone out of the yard is unacceptable!

Oh. I hope it's not been out of the frying pan into the fire then?

Just don't answer the text say your mobile has to be off when your at work.

No, this yard is not nasty or anything- just stressful

The YO moves the goalposts alot which just makes it un-enjoyable and stressful at times.

Unfort i had already answered the other girls call so they knew i had my phone on me.
I just replied 'No, im in work and have given her jo's number'

(Almost spot on ChristmasSparkle!

I would be rather annoyed as you had already told the first person that you were at work.

You shouldn't then have to fend off further phone calls.

In faact thining about it ratehr cheeky. The YO should have made sure they have a spare key, their issue not yours.
 
I agree with the above, it is not your responsibility to let other liveries in and out. I actually would be quite annoyed at the asumption of the YO that you should be doing this, especially when they are aware that you are in work.
