Yes, I was on the nest last night with a customer. No payment received, I’m wondering if that means a refund is required.

Just some that I can recall.....
I once got asked to install a plastic Hawk up on the apex of a house roof to scare the pigeons away?!
To dispose of a Hare that had been killed by a dog.
Been asked to remove Ivy from a house wall.
Fence painting.
Car cleaning.
Caravan cleaning.
Empty a large sack of bird seed into boxes.
Remove contents from the bottom of a chest freezer.
Asked to help pick a 90 year old fella up from his daughters living room floor and put him back in his chair.

I've been asked if I:

Clean chimneys
Replace crow guard on chimney
Take away rubbish
Paint
Fit a chandalier
Repair a satellite dish
Put up/take down xmas decorations
Trim a hedge/mow lawns
Give lifts

There are probably more but you get the idea.

I get asked to clean this hot woman’s shower screen each month , it’s always really soapy like she’s been rubbing her ass on it . I kindly oblige as she’s always in her silk dressing gown , she works from home , I’m sure she’s a porn star or something because when I walked past one of the bedrooms , there were cameras set up and laptop on the bed 🛏
