Doing 4 piddly jobs and 2 of them comming in with a cup of tea- for them selves & the other 2 jos no drink at all & receiving cheques from all of them.
And another thing customers who insist on you moving the big cabinet thats been their from the begginning of time only to go back in the same place.

Hi

My two pennies worth....

1. Houses without numbers, especially on dark mornings and evenings.

2. Streets/Roads with name plates on one side only...you drive past to see that this is the road you want.....aagghh!

I did some work for a hotel chain, if it was 40 pound or hundreds of pounds, hotel policy was to make you what two months. Clear the cheque on that date then sit on it for 27 days. they called me today and ask if i cud dry a mattress out  ASP.I did not return the call ,they did this to me four times no more.

I am afraid my worse thing is simply the customer that watches you empty machine, roll up hoses and stick all bits in the van before saying " I wonder if you have time to clean this other......." :o

When you tell the customer the final price on completion and they look at you and say "sorry how much"..............."thought it would be alot more than that"

My 1st job (last week)...

Got a call to clean 14 staris and a 5m hallway, asked if there were any stains, yes was the reply, a wine stain...

When I arrived the wine stain turned out to be a BOTTLE of wine stain that had fallen down the stairs!

got it out though ;)
