« on: February 05, 2020, 08:10:18 pm »
....text sent at 6pm tonight to ask customer to unlock gate as I’m due tomorrow. Get a text back saying there’s a big spider by the gate and it’s dark so can we leave it this time. Err, if it’s dark how could you see the fecking spider? Stupid bint.
We look at them, they look through them.

No, No, Dazmond. We have to have some empathy in this life.

Arachnophobia is a real fear of spiders and in this case doesn't mean that the customer is a bad customer. 

Many suffer from other phobias. My wife suffers from Claustrophobia. If she is put into a situation where this phobia kicks in she becomes a wild woman. All sense of reason and logic disappears. But it wouldn't make her a bad customer.

Dump.

She could always have unlocked it in the morning if she was that scared of the spider/dark.

I wouldn’t open the gate if there was a large spider on it at night, but would get a brush and swipe the b stard off in the morning.

Dear Miss Muffet,

As this is the second time you have turned a worker away (last time being when the gutters needed cleaning but you said no because incy wincey spider was living in the downpipe) I'm afraid I need to ask you to sit on your tuffet and eat your curds and whey - whatever they are - before I can clean your windows ever again.

Your sincerely,



King of the spiders.

I think Mrs Soupy must be suffering from this too.

Maybe say:

The service we offer is a 12/4/6/8 weekly service. If we can't access the back then we will either carefully ladder over the gate or clean the front only for half price.

With CP, you can disable replies to the texts, which may also help.

The simple way to avoid this situation is don’t take on work where the gate is locked unless they give you a code or key ,and don’t txt customers the night before it’s asking for trouble and leave it this time types , we only work on properties with access or if it’s terraced houses with no rear access fronts only basis never have any issues .
