Just scrolled down to this, and wondered if you could enlighten me as to what the connection is between being an athiest and being threatened by a customer ?

One thing I don't discuss is religion and politics to customers and certainly not on forums either.

I was threatened by a customer years ago.

He was a middle aged single guy who Iived with his elderly mum. I had done a first clean on their house a month before, and he was nice as pie (chatted and gave me a drink.)

The following month I'm just about to start on his house when he says 'hang on a minute, there's a problem'. After asking what's up, he tells me that he doesn't want me to clean the windows, in fact goes so far as to say to goes that I didn't clean his windows last month and doesn't know why I am on his property now.

I tried to explain that he had asked me, and I had cleaned them last month, and that he was happy then and had asked me to call every month. He wasn't having any of it though, and even his mum backed him up that I had never cleaned their windows, ever! He then told me to 'go away' and never come back around there again, or else!

I politely, but firmly told him that I certainly would not darken HIS door again, left and started on his next door's neighbour's house!.

The lovely old lady next door had heard the conversation, told me he was mentally unstable, and begged me not to take any notice of him. I reassured her that I was going nowhere, (of the 24 houses in the close, I had nearly all of them) and he would have to do much better than that to scare me off!

Thereafter he used to scowl at me whenever he saw me, but never said a word!

Must be something in the air , i had one square up to me last week.

I parked on the Main Rd where i do some shops and the owner of a fast food establishment comes out telling me i shouldnt park there as now no one else can park there , he is basically mad his customers cant park there but its the main road and if im there first ill park there so i can do my shops for an hour..

He kept going on about it and i just said i will park whereever there is a space.

He went off to his friends talking loudly in another language and from the tone of voice i could hear he was insulting me so i said are you talking about me??? and he shouted yeh you f ing d head,,,, so i lost my cool now and thankfully id just soaped up the huge main window , so i told him he cleans his own windows from now on, he flew at me to square upto me and i told him again, clean your own windows and do one and he did nothing.

What an idiot..... all day i wanted to go back and slap him but it isnt worth it is it, Wish he had hit me first so i couldve hit him back . i wouldnt mind he is about 5'4 and 8 stone !

You told him to fock off (twice) did not help matters for sure. 

That's what I thought, maybe you should do a course on customer relations. The situation would have been handled far better by simply saying "ok, no problem" and going to speak to his wife, as he had asked.  Simple!!

We had an old bird last month who we were doing a conservatory valet for, and she was insisting that we had quoted to do extra work, ans she was complaing about using her water supply.     Me and our lass fell out, cos I was ready to walk off the job I was so mad, and the wife went home, so I was left alone to complete the job, while the old dragon was following me round pointing out every minute bit I  had missed.               I had steam coming out of my ears by the end, but I finnished, and she paid me.    I told her never to contact me ever again.
