I'd ignore it.

I wouldn't ignore it. Cheeky get. Unless it wasn't obvious the windows had just been cleaned and water droplets on the windows, I'd be having a word.

I've got way too much work, I couldn't care less if some johnny-come-lately walked up to one of my customers and offered to clean. Free world. I am secure enough in my customer base to know that 99% plus would give said geezer short shrift.

So have I, but when someone takes the p by knocking a door straight after you've just cleaned one of your jobs then that's a no no in anyone's language.
-
I would ignore it too. I would like to think that all my customers appreciate the service I provide. If any of them wanted to take a chance on some other cleaner for the sake of a pound or two it would be good riddance!
-
I would probably just think I'm glad I'm not that sad and desperate for work. Pity him.
-
I don't think I could Handel this. His Messiah is very long.
I'd just hum Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture or Vivaldi's Four Seasons the next time I saw him.
-
Just get on with the next job on the list if they jump ship instead of cleaning their windows next month you will be spending that time cleaning someone else's.
-
Torch his van ;D

I like handel
the messiah was my last concert I went to before lockdown ;D ;

If you do then make sure you do it when he is around the back of a customer's house. It's about sending a message.
;D ;D ;D
(For the avoidance of doubt this is not a genuine recommendation.)

Aim the cannons in his general direction.

Torch his Mondeo ;D
Fixed it for you 👍

I'm one of those I not that bothered if any other window cleaner canvas s my area s ,if any customer's want to try another windy then in my eyes it's a customer not worth having, the main thing I don't like is when they ask the customer how much you charge and they will do it cheaper that really peaves me off 😇

One or two are missing the point it's the fact he's actually seen me cleaning the property that gauls me . And waited until
I left.... flecking snake.

So what did you do?
-
Just talk to the bloke. Tell him it’s underhand . Tell him if he needed more work you would have passed some on to him ….. but your not going to now seen as he’s a snake bellied w****r
-
Torch his van ;D
And remember to throw an immersion element in the back of the van first…then his insurance will be null and void🤣

I’m not missing the point at all. The question was, how would you handle this? I answered how I would handle it.

I'm with you harleyman. Others on here can't see that the other bloke is a (MODDED) to actually go and canvass the house straight after you've cleaned it. Either that or he's as thick as NWH 😀
-
The person to blame here is the customer it’s their decision,if they don’t like you enough to be swayed by another cleaner it’s on them not the bloke knocking the door.

You don't do yourself any favours Nigel. If Harleyman wants to have words with the other window cleaner then that is his prerogative. It's certainly not his customer's fault, why don't you read properly before commenting?
I wouldn't bother and nor would you. We get that.
Don't you know when to shut up?
-
It’s like having a go at the bloke in bed with your Mrs if that ever happened to you never happened to me mind,it’s not the one offering it’s the one accepting we all like to offer don’t we.
-
I'd have gone and knocked 2 doors up, while he was talking to your customer! ;D

Straight up I would of gone up when he was taking to your customer, and stood there to listen to what he had to say… THEN chimmed in and asked if he was lost. Recon we could of felt like a right twonk

;D

You're only as good as your opposition.
I regularly let a bloke get in bed with my wife, to remind her of how good I am. I don't hog the duvet or make crumbs or anything.
The other blokes leave the bed in a right state.

Just use the opportunity to do the ironing Griff.
-
I know it is out of order i would never do something like that on another windies door but when you sit and think about it it’s the customer that makes the final decision isn’t it,if they are decent people they should be able to see what he’s doing and make their own choice.
-

I create an opportunity to do the ironing, Slack.
Like a Sunday morning, so I can watch the Aussie rugby. Or when I'm rained off, I'll watch something that I've recorded that my Missus isn't interested in. Or I'll have a chat with Alexa and listen to some music.
Who does yours and when? Are you still courting the lady from the church? Are you one of the lucky ones with a domestic goddess keeping you in check and check shirts? A perfect crease down the front of your chinos? Does she use starch on your tank tops?
I'm always open to ironing tips so that I can finish the job before I've listened to all of Setting Sons by The Jam.
Come on, help me out.
-
Me and the lady from the church went our separate ways three months ago. Shame really, we was a very nice girl, but we obviously didn't agree on enough to make a decent go of things.
She's currently spending two weeks on the I.O.W. and Im being inundated with donkey sanctuary pictures. I don't do donkey sanctuaries as a rule, so not missing it one bit. As well as various pics with the title 'Where Am I?'
Im just perusing a couple of local Facebook groups for someone to see if they'd like to earn a few extra bob doing domestic cleaning and possibly ironing. How much do you charge?

Sorry to hear that it didn't work out.
I'd be no use to you. I'd burn your vests if the Roosters are on the attack or if I get carried away when Eton Rifles is on.
I'll keep my ears open for a Kim Woodburn type looking to do some extras, dear.
Keep your hands to yourself, mind.
-
It's funny as one of the local girls who cleans around here looks just like her, I avoid her like the plague. Frightening...
-
the mother in law does mine ;D
and all the house work ;D ;D
Darran
-
It deserves a thread of its own, doesn't it? ;D
-
Either way you can’t get the blame 🤣🤣🤣🤣
