One of my favs is when then run round closing all the windows...after youve cleaned them ;D
-
Lol ye some of mine do that :)
-
when they say "do you need any water?" ::)roll ;D
-
How about "shall i pay you now...or?"
Would be nice yes...lol
-
Will these dry ok?
Yes madam they should do. I think its about urmm 1....2.......2 or 3....... ah yeah 4 years WFP on this house!!!!!!!!!
-
"so...is there some kind of detergent in the water?"
Clearly not happy with WFP lol
-
Oh Is it that time again. ::)roll
-
When they take ages finding their cheque book after you've cleaned. Then ask you what the date is? How much is it? Who do I make it payable to?
Even though they've been a customer for years!
;)

When they close the blinds upstairs when they see the brush hitting the window ::)roll

I'll have to do insides now (meaning-do a good job or I'll be able to tell even though I can't and I never do them anyway).

And it doesn't matter how many times we hear it, we always respond as if it was the very first time anybody had ever mentioned it.

Seeing you using wfp. "That's cheating"
"I can't find my chequebook, will cash do?"
-
leave the room..when you start cleaning that particular window
-
Cor - I wouldn't want your job in this weather!
-
could you give the car a wash while you;re at it. never fails to make me laugh
-
the customer that follows you room to room checking you have done each window ???
-
Do you still come in winter?
No, I hibernate ::)roll
::)roll need to reply with "no i dont, all my bills stop to" :)
-
Sh@t my husband s home
-
"My husband did window cleaning for a while.......while he was looking for a proper job"
-
New customer, "i only cleaned them few weeks ago" when clearly aint been done for years...
-
"My husband did window cleaning for a while.......while he was looking for a proper job"
"Do you have a proper job or do you just do this?"

Background -
1. I'm overweight
2. My 11yr old goes Thai Boxing
Custy - 'Is that your son sparring with mine?' She's picked the fattest kid in the place
Me - 'no, mine's the tall skinny one in the ring.'
Kinda annoyed me that she would assume my kids would be fatties just because I am.
-
what do you do in the winter?sign on?(no joke!)the posh customer who said this has been on the books for 4 years ALL year round! ::)roll ;D
-
Some customers are great, and some are like goldfish. It's like every time they see you, it's the first time? I have a few like this, and no joke, every time they ask if I need any water and should they move the car so I can put the ladders up?
After years of telling them no and no, I'm wfp I am tempted to say yes and get the ladders out for my sanity.
-
It always amuses me when new customers say that it is commendable that I do window cleaning 'for a bit of extra money'!

-
new customer: do you use that pole thing ?
-
Do you still come in winter?
No, I hibernate ::)roll
Laughed my tits off at this

(High level WFP use) Are you going to blade the windows dry after you finish using that pole/stick ? Big fat No is my reply as the air dries them naturally! ;D

Highest job I ever did:
Passerby: 'bet you get a good picture with that'
Never had it before or since.
-
I had one once quite irate asking where i got my water from, he thought i had hooked up to his outside tap lol ;D
-
YOU VE MISSED A BIT!!this must be the biggest cliche followed by "I BET YOU VE SEEN SOME SIGHTS!! ;D ;D ;D
-
I do a shop every week traditional. Went yesterday and he said 'Don't bother doing them today its too cold' I looked at him thinking he was joking - 'I can handle it I said'
'No I mean its too cold with the door open' ?????????????
I never even bothered explaining that I can clean the door while its shut just the same - as I do anyway usually.
-
the customer that follows you room to room checking you have done each window ???
I have one of these really bad and shes not that subtle about it, lol...then she says about one window by the door, says it every time even after i know she watched me doing it ... "have you done this one?"
-
" I don't need it, all these (totally filthy) windows are self cleaning.
"can you just do xyz while you're at it"
"I haven't got any money"
"Where can I get one of those pole things"
-
Off-thread but things I hate are:
1. They go out whilst you are cleaning and don't pay you.
2. They won't answer the door when you finished and you ring / knock.
3. "Not today" or "Can you leave it till _________". See my previous posts on the subject
4. They expect a 10 minute chat after every clean.
5. "I'll BACS payment across now" and 3 weeks later you are still waiting.
6. People with whom you agree monthly terms and 3 months in they change frequency or cancel.
7. The people who owe me £46 for 2 cleans and told me yesterday that they've gone bankrupt when they could have told me a month ago, before the second clean.
8. People who thinks prices should be from 1913 not 2013.
9."You've been on holiday? I must be paying you too much". Oh yes? Just why is that then?!!
10. Couple in their 80s bless 'em, "Here, have a Christmas drink on us" handing me a single can of Fosters. Gift wrapped! Lol.

The answer to her, politely and with a smile, ' Well, what do you think.... ? '

Worked really hard for our holiday this year in Florida...should see their faces if they ask if ive been on holiday lol

It's not so much what say rather than that look
They all ask if your going away this year and if you yes abroad, you get that look as if you've just shat on the lawn

yes the "we must be paying you too much" has been said to me many times only by customers that are low priced though!(eg £7!). ::)roll
as if we re not entitled to take a holiday once or twice or 3 times a year!! ;D ;D ;D
just cos we ve got the drive and nous to build a little profitable business for ourselves rather than making another persons already oversized wallet even fatter they take the hump!!
there are a lot of jealous people out there and some people find they are just about scraping a living together working for other people.
oh and i made the decision not to have kids!! :D :D ;D ;D

Yup, your £10 PCM barely buys a round down the pub but it has managed to get me, the wife and 2 kids to Italy for 2 weeks.
Thank you very much for making sure that my family life is complete.
I really don't know what I would do with the whole 1,000p that you pay me each month.
We'd be destitute.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, <doth cap>, thank you <bow> thank you, <walk away with out turning your back on them, whilst doing a curtesy>
As you drive away, don't forget to toot the horn and give him a cheeky wink and 'the gun'
Love these customers.

"can you just do xyz while you're at it"
And not expect to pay any extra for extra work done! grrrrrrrr
