Title: nosey old bag
Post by: duncan h on December 14, 2015, 04:54:22 pm
Just did one of my custys. Shes in her 80;s but well switched on. She still practices as an accountant :(  Anyway. I was putting my hose away and the women next door (IN HER 60'S) rushed out of her chair and ran in my custys house.
She shouts " are you ok Clair" " yes why" "just checking" then she fires into me with a nasty tone. HOW MUCH DO YOU CHARGE. "£7" £7, YOU DONT EVEN DRY THE WINDOWS. No, its a different system blah blah. WELL MY WINDY CLEANS THE FRAMES ALSO AND ONLY CHARGES £5. While she was having a go at me, I was cleaning the inside of her window traditional as they were full of fat (for free :)) Then she says. WELL I THINK YOUR OUTRAGES.
What peed her off was the fact It only took me about 3 to 4 minutes and I earned £7. He r windy will takes ages and get less. Plus he dries the windows !!! :)
Anyway. My customer didn't hear it and walked in to pay me. I told her she was a cheeky cow and she asked why. I told her and guess what she said.
Well, shes paid £5 for years.
Rant over. Really boiled my juices

Fancy taking advantage of an old person like I'm guessing she was thinking.
What cracked me up the most was the old girl was still working as an accountant and you only charge her 7 squid. ;D

Odd thing is, she used to pay £8. Somewhere along the lines it went to £7. Last time I spoke to her about it and she said sometimes you say its 7 some 8. I checked back to may when she did an online payment of £8. I wrote £8 in my book when I first took her details. I was going to collar her about it until next door butted in. Dindnt fancy it after that lmao. Only takes a few minutes anyway and she I
