Dog and cat poo.

Hoses snagging and folding over on themselves cutting off the flow.

Wheelie bins

Customers that know you're there and spend ages finding their chequebook when you finish and you knock for the dosh.

Locked gates with spikes or trellis on the top.

And a monthly occurance:-

The gate copper on Avonmouth Docks who waves everybody through except me and who checks inside my van - "Is it cuz I is da window cleana?"  ;D

I was surprised no-one else mentioned wheelie bins.  I hate the damned things.  Mind you, they were even worse when I used half inch hose as it was fat enough to get trapped ion the bins' axles.

Yes I had forgotten about them, Im sure my hose wants to mate with them, if you stand and watch, your hose will jump out and snare one. and theres the rose bushes custies plant under their windows.
What about those aluminium grills some people are putting in front of the door.
Oh and there's those little wire baskets they put out for the milk bottles, caught loads of them.

nothing apart from cowboy window cleaners who pre-condition customers (public)
to the low cost of having their window cleaned

I dont like them and i dont like them in the trade causing havock
you see it all the time people just coming into to trade because the work requires very little training
and they only want the quick and easy money, these window cleaners never make any real money but they do cause a lot of damage

who do they think they are
