And they are car salesmen - utter scumbags!
Having encountered a few lately the worst seem to be the main dealers. My son wanted a particular Honda "we have one on our system" oh great. "that will be £1000 non returnable deposit please" that's on a second hand car that he's never seen. ???
Went to Basingstoke yesterday for another (in stock) "we have done the figures for you sir - here we go - a pittance for part exchange, £400 gap insurance, £300 scotch guard, £110 road tax, £400 extended warranty (after they just told us how utter reliable their cars are) £500 deposit oh and of course £150 admin fee!!!!!!!!!!!!! And by the way there is absolutely no fuel in the tank ,cos we pump it all out."
If he didn't want the car I would have shoved their figures right up their exhaust pipe.
I can't believe these companies sell anything.
To top it all I had to wait for the rep to stop laughing when I told him I was a window cleaner - "ha ha ha, yes we have a guy who comes round here in an old volvo and carries all his water inside ha ha ha!"

Wheel clampers have p poor way to make a living. There must be zero pride to be found in extorting money from people on a daily basis.

No, mate. I forgot you flogged insurance door-to-door.

It soundsa like I am rich when I say this but I can assure you I'm not. You are often better off buying a new car and looking after it for a long time.
The dealerships will offer really good deals and you are not buying somebody else's problems.
The other good thing to do is keep an eye out for what your customers are selling. One of my customers had an absolutely immaculate V reg Toyota Corolla that she traded in for £250!
That would have done my son an absolute treat. Another customer's daughter is selling a tidy Fiat Brava for £995 but its a 1600 and the insurance is too high for my son.

estate agents, bailiffs, police men, traffic wardens

Gom Cleaners.

Add teachers road workers bouncers security guards to the list.

No problems with doormen; they're needed (as long as they're not idiots), but as for being a clamper...
At least you can sleep easier these days eh?

Corolla would have been a nice little deal, but £995 for a Brava, they're worth scrap value at best!!

Its a very easy transition from alot of security work to being a clamper mate you would be surprised. I never worked for some little seedy company. It was %100 legit and abov board. Not like these twats you see on watchdog. Dont get me wrong mate iv leathered a wheel clamper that clamped my mates car, i dont like them but when you need money you need money. Iv earnt over £700 in a day....my mum has a law degree and works at a very posh company and she cant earn anywhere near that! Not trying to defend myself...do a poop job like that and expect to take poop

Topic: Found a profession far lower than a windowcleaner ??? ??? ???
If you're paying your bills, feeding the children asnd have pride in your work...
WHY oh WHY would you think you are lowly? ::)
I've been a Carpenter & joiner, HGV Driver, served in the Forces and many other thankless jobs... ::)
The satisfaction I get when walking away from spotlessly clean windows, if only fleeting, is still Job Satisfaction.
Have pride in what you do and be happy 8) ;) :D
-
ive done contract cleaning that was horrible, cleaning bogs for minimum wage, also done door to door sales
both are much worse than cleaning windows, i dont feel this is a lowly job what so ever
it is what you think and make of it.....
-
let others think its a lowly job don't want to flood the market with labour,do a job no one wants to do and they pay you a premium ;D
-
I did financial services - soul destroying ;D

My step daughter is a stripper (lap dancer) and earns a bloody fortune (upto 4k a week), it may be seen as a lowly job done by desperate women, but the sad, lowly and desperates are the blokes who spend the weeks house keeping to watch.

I've just read the replies & I have to say I don't agree with any of you. Window cleaners are still way below all these!! ;D :-*
Proper scum we are! 8)

When I worked in Spain, I knew a few dancers out there, they really did earn a fortune.
Bit different, but also knew some retired "working girls" , Now these girls were late 30's and retired!
They were very solvent.
