Title: Nicknames for customers/houses!
Post by: Klean07 on July 07, 2019, 11:41:45 am
I've got a few for example there is a lady that looks like Miss Marple, a bloke with a Gold wing car and a large 3 story house with a large clock fixed into top. So when referring to these its Marple, Gold and clock plus many more!
Anyone else do this?

In no particular order...

Miserable speccy b4st4rd - wot it says on the tin. Dislike him, like his money though.

OCD man - immaculate garden and no personality

CaravanMan - spends 4 months each year in their in tent effectively p-ing in a chemical loo then moving pitch every time a loud family land next door to them through the school holidays ???

Topless Julie - yeah. It's obvious. And a great memory  ;D

Never Ending Story - older lady who takes 30 minutes to deliver a 1 minute story. No wonder her husband avoids her.

Dutch - he's Dutch. In case I forget he's Dutch.

MadPam - she's called Pam and is mad. I mean properly booloo.  But in a nice way compared to some.

Round the Bend - they live round the corner from a great run of work but are, sadly, completely nuts. Dad wears a Charles Bronson style wig. Or maybe a Persian cat. It's hard to tell without really staring. Mum is just a disembodied voice from upstairs, like in a 1970's sitcom. Son is a card-carrying fruitloop. The back garden has a heady aroma of human wee.  Not bad people, but just.... nuts.

All I can think of off the top of my head...

God knows what they call me...

We have:

Steve Pomranke - A man who looks EXACTLY like the guy from Gold Divers.  I thought it was actually him the first time.

Mid Life Crisis - 50yr old man who bought a sports car and wears sunglasses even in the winter

Bella Dog - House that has a wonderful dog called Bella.  Never met the owner (all done by email)

Old Crazies - An old couple who are so forgetful I wonder how they are not in a home.  The daughter (who lives at the other end of the country) arranged the clean and pays us.

Only ever named one - The Willy Waggler

Slippers, V neck jumper, untold amounts of dandruff, very sweaty looking and in his 40's still living with his wheelchair bound mum in a bungalow and obviously never worked in his life.

Back in the day when traditional I was soaping up a large frosted window and was convinced that the custie performed some sort of strange dance in the hallway! Something seemed wrong but I couldn't put my finger on it.  6 weeks later, cleaned the front and popped round the side to the frosted one, soaped it up then went straight to the back where I could look down the hallway. There stood my now ex custie with his jeans and pants round his ankles jiggling about for all his worth glancing into the front room to check mum can't see him.

I believe the phrase 'Babies arm holding an orange' would be suitable to describe what I saw, the only saving grace being that he wasn't stood to attention. And yes I did finish the bungalow, got paid and never went back, although the muppet rang me 7-8 weeks later see why I hadn't cleaned and couldn't understand why I no longer wished to clean 'due' to his dancing.

Weird just Weird
