I once had a call back from a shirty sounding customer only to discover that the dirty marks were on the INSIDE of the window.

we had a call back for paint on the inside of the window

I had a customer phone and say that her windows hadn't come up very clean at all. She found the SAE I'd left from 3 weeks previously and assumed I'd been around that day.
When I explained it, she accused me of putting the envelope through her door that day and trying to con her with the date of clean. I told her to not bother sending a cheque and good bye.
Her husband phoned me about a day later and asked me to carry on cleaning the window and to say the cheque was in the post as he remembered seeing the envelope from 3 weeks before as it's bright yellow.
It turns out that if I don't do the windows, he has to. It made me smile.
-
be sure to block her number on your phone now

I had this a few year back.
Bloke in the downstairs flat came out moaning that I was making his windows wet.
I offered to give them a rinse when i was done but he was having none of it.
So I said ok mate no problem you will need to follow the same procedure as normal. Eh? whats that he said?
Well when it rains i assume you complain to someone that your windows are wet so do the same today. When I get my copy of the complaint form I can then go to the HMRC and ask for a tax rebate.
He just looked stunned and went back inside.
Funny, but he never bothered me after that.
