This would be the 8 foot long solid oak display cabinet still containg all the display items :o

or

"Are you sure you can't do anything with the bedroom carpet"

This would be the 15 year old carpet, that is now 3mm thick because the foam backed underlay died and turned to dust at least 5 years ago. ;D

or

Is there anything you can do about that mark near the door, that's where I dropped the steam iron

Guessed it was by the perfect shaped it had burnt into the carpet ???

Cue cream colored 6x4 thick pile acrylic or wool rug with multiple stains!!

Post by: Paul Simpson on February 01, 2009, 11:26:29 pm: A little off topic but had this earlier this evening, sounded a bit tipsy but conversation went

"Are you in the need of clients for cleaning peoples houses?"

Pardon!

Repeats above

Are you interested in carpet cleaning?

"Yes"

Get the details and its a small lounge, explain it will come under our minimum charge (which isn't that high) and can do another small area within that charge.

Actual reply

"F***ing hell, I can't f***ing afford that"

Well thats our minimum charge

"Thats taking the p**s................................."

At that point I put the phone down. Shame the numer was withheld.
Some people ::)

Post by: 2cleanright on February 07, 2009, 11:51:06 pm: Best customer I have spoken to in ages;

"I'm the third house down on the left, and we dont have a number or house name that you can see from the road, but its OK, I am stood outside."

No you aren't, cos I'm parked out side the third house on the left. You dont know where you live. Get someone else to clean your matress cos you are wasting my time.

"I'll report you to trading standards!"

Fine - there number is ***********.!
I love sacking customers when they are that stupid!

Post by: Doctor Carpet (Ret'd) on February 13, 2009, 02:53:01 pm: IN general conversation with the customer about the fact they had gone away for a Christmas break:

Me: Did you go anything nice for Christmas?

Her: NO. We went to my parents

Talk about a Freudian slip!
