Phone call yesterday, "hi desperate for the windows to be done, we're letting the property tommorow and need them done inside and out. We also need all the carpets done and cleaning though" real stresing over the window getting done.

Ok no problem for the windows, but cant promise a cleaner at such short notice.

"Oh oh right ok"

Ill see you in the morning at 9.30

"ok thank you"

I live 25 mins from town and i was making a special journey only going to do his,  i was there at 9.30 as i said ... no sign of anyone, no call no nothing, so rude, WAS NOT IMPRESSED ... Cheers.

Textbook timewaster.

It's always the end of tenancy/selling house people. The majority of my calls are exactly like this. All stressed, need them done etc etc.

I get a few phone calls from people, expecting you to drop everthing and go and clean their windows that afternoon or first thing in the morning, for some reason or the other they need it done urgently.
They don't understand when you tell them you can't do it that quick as you are not in their area at the time.
If they can't wait for me then i just tell them sorry can not do it. I have gone out my way too many times for one off cleans and you can't earn a living like that.
