Have any of you noticed that you can always spot a fellow windy who is either:

A. Not very bright
B. very new to the job or
C. Both of the above

you can tell this I think by the way they slow down as they pass and give you daggers?   
Always makes me laugh. Doing a customer in Broadstairs that I've done for last 9 years just now guy just tried to burn holes in my face.  Numpty.

I remember being that young and stupid. I used to feel cheesed off when I saw another windy too.

I find it fun hunting for others, it seems to me windy's are like Ninja's you only ever seem to catch a slight glimpse of one as your passing.  I spotted one just now, working out of his estate car like I do, seriously under cover he was

get the odd one like that, but seen something far more dodgy today..

An old fella, probably 70, he has just changed from scrimming, to using a squeegee.... Stil has a wooden ladder.

Its absolutely blowing a gale here today, and he was out in it, up & down the ladder, he was going. I thought to myself "thats a bit dodgy" then realised that if he did come off, then it would free up some work

I find i quite funny when certain the local window cleaners give me dirty looks  

Some of them look like they are worried when they see me in the van

i don't think they realise im a one man band at the moment and not a big company  

[Tom White]

All fairly friendly around Chepstow, apart from one window cleaner who winds some of the others up.  But I think we've got a good bunch of window cleaners here; even Squeaky! 

[paul kitchiner]

Very friendly where I am. We usually have a chat about things and go on our way.

[keyser soze]

around my way most of the windies talk and friendly enough bunch but you get the odd one who hasn't got the time

for a chat . nearly all that im aware of give a wave when passing . 

[NJWindowCleaning]

We are always friendly to each other around here, give squeegee blades or lending ladders or like yesterday a tradder mate of mine phoned me to use the wfp system just to do three higher windows.  

[groundhog]

Mostly friendly around here, but I was attacked by another window cleaner when I first started out in Chichester, little did he know I was a very handy amateur boxer, he didn't try it again!!! 

[H2GoKent]

I suppose that's my point really if youve got half a brain you don't mind other windys after a while.
Most are friendly round this way too. Apart from one guy who thinks its all 'his patch' doughnut

Did any of them have nice shiny hub caps? 

We went out yesterday to canvass around a couple of new customers we picked up last month, I was told there are absolutely no windy's on the estate...... well I found 4 operating in the same small street and even door knocked one as the poor bloke and his mate were up their ladders doing the back of the house 

He was a nice bloke though and we had a little chuckle.  I picked up sod all work, was a little grumpy on the drive home.  But as we drove off up a rather steep hill, we were glancing over at an estate that looked ripe for pickings.  I thought sod it why bother door knocking those houses as they are bound to be covered.  Instead I looked at the row of houses with really steep steps to the front and thought to myself I wonder if anyone can be bothered to canvass them with all them steps.... well I did and picked up a new customer.

So now I'm going back again later to knock all the others, and wave to all the other windy's

I think there are two kinds. Those who too useless to do anything else.
And those who realise that it's one of the best jobs in the world. 

I'm not sure where those who know me best would say I fit. 

[mikecam]

I remember being that young and stupid. I used to feel cheesed off when I saw another windy too.

And now you just post about them on the internet. Fair play.

[Smudger]

Have several really friendly windy's around here - nearly always stop for a quick chit chat ( work permitting )

just have one fella who gives me a glare and usually shoots off - but then again he did try to take my custies a few years back when i fell off a ladder...  : (not that i hold that against him  )

hey Tosh i see you got a promotion !
