Takes all sorts, don't it?
« on: April 20, 2011, 05:30:34 pm »
I have a customer who gets me to WFP her house every fourth Tuesday, [most recently was yesterday], and when I was down that street again today ,she was out cleaning the downstairs windows !!

She's a lovely lady, they are a nice couple in fact, but she has a mental problem, all her waking hours are spent cleaning, and she sometimes cleans the front door glass three or four times a day, according to her neighbour.

She can't manage the first floor, so I get paid for the whole house, and she does the bottoms daily - takes all sorts, don't it?

OCD mate.

I've got a successful friend who is otherwise "normal" - lovely wife and family, on good money; nice BMW and he admits he's a bit OCD (had some untimely tragedy in his life) and he's a "cleaner" - he's got a lovely bungalow in Bristol prolly worth 350K plus and he spends every other Spring up on the roof tiles scrubbing them. I wish I could employ him but he's a bank manager and earns almost as much as Roy Harding!  ;D
It's a game of three halves!
