A while ago I was cleaning a sun lounge on a warm day while the custie was reclining in the chair relaxing. I cleaned all the glass and then the door which was slightly open.
Because the custie was there I just wanted to quickly get done and get out of there.
On my final stroke while cleaning the bottom of the door I heard a clunk and a small piece of plastic fell on the floor.
I gingerly looked around red faced to see the custie had not noticed this happen and was still laying there with her eyes closed. :o
Dilemma: Do I pick the plastic thingy up and hastily perform a repair with the chance that the custie might see what I am doing?
Or should I hide the evidence?
Without hesitation I bent down and performed a magic trick that Paul Daniels would of been proud of and left with the offending object hidden in my pocket! ;)
To this day nothing has ever been mentioned of that fateful day by the custie :D
Well a similar thing happened again today.
I was cleaning a bay window at the front of a house which had an "inconveniently" positioned outside light on the wall.
Just as I moved the brush from side to side it clonked the side of the light and a small cylinderical piece fell off on to the floor :o
I couldn't be bothered to perform a repair so I picked the piece up and lobbed it into a flowerbed ;)
I was wearing gloves so there's no finger prints if they try to pin it on me :D
So is honesty always the best policy?
Or is it a case of "What they don't know can't hurt 'em!" ;D
Am I the only one that this happens to? ???

A customer's purse fell off the kitchen work surface one day - and it fell into my pocket.
I kept quiet about it as I thought I would get in trouble if I said what happened.
I had a good meal on that windfall.
