Just ask if they mind if you clean in the nude.

If you cleaned in the nude, he wouldn't have been able to see your hose!  :P

Hi Guys

My worst ever was 4 in a bathroom all watching me.

I told them I couldn't work like that and they drifted off but by thye time I had finished all four were back .

This was one of the last jobs I did for this particular ethnic group.

Cheers

Doug

£150,Small 2 bed flat,one I priced up without seeing  ;D
He probably thought that he was entitled to a full running commentry as well then, these here punters who spend over £100 just to have the carpets washed, generally want to see every spec of dirt come out.
When I worked in Leicester, I used to get it all the time, untill I kept banging into the punter with the hose, the wand etc then piled all the furniture towards the door of whatever room I was cleaning. They do get the message eventually.
Got one next friday in Thatcham who always watched till I dropped the crb on his foot.

He just keeps away now

When I worked in Egypt cleaning Nile cruise ships, there was always an audience of all the managers and crew, who decided it looked easy until I handed them the wand..............

,pulling my hoses out the rooms behind me,

I'd call that a result compared to the asian youth who not only couldn't speak English at all but was like some damented puppystanding 3 foot behind me all the time.
When he failed to take the hint with a door being shut in his face I over did the wand action so nearly to catch him full in the face. He took the hint at that action ;D

I just say training is extra, that normally does it.
It's not expensive, you just can't afford it.

They are probably acting as a look out while the rest of the family steal your van.

They would never get into it,believe me ,I nearly had to get into it myself with a disk cutter,when I locked the keys in the back,van is ex brit gas,rear doors automatically lock when you close them,and are impossible to open,that came from a locksmith,and is another story all together.
