In no particular order:

Fly poo on the glass
"Can you leave it this time"
Hydrophobic glass
Spider's webs that just won't shift despite aiming the jet at them. Scrub, flick, scrub, flick...
"It's never 4 (6/8/12) weeks is it!?"
Dripping vents
That stiff, inflexible Gardiners yellow pole hose
Water freezing on the glass when it's frosty
"You've missed a bit ha, ha"
"Excuse me, are you a window cleaner?"
Did I mention fly poo?
Leaving my hot mug of coffee in the kitchen when it should be in the van
Late payers
PayPal's charges
Putting the reel on a high-spot that means you can't wind it in 'cos it catches on the ground
Adverse weather of any kind whatsoever
"Can you do me a favour whilst you've got your brush out"
Inaccurate weather forecasts
The hose getting caught on car tyres/ the corner of a building/flower pots etc.
People who go out without paying you as they go.
Fly poo

Mind you still the best job i've ever had

You must have had some crap jobs then! 

[John pearce]

You forgot dog and cat poo !!  but since changing over to pole, the two things that get on my nerves are hydrophobic glass and air vents, they really slow things up.

Had my first can you leave it this time customer today but do them next time please as they arent dirty yet. When I explained why I couldent do this extra time it would take etc and wouldent be back she said you had better do them in that case but she didnt look happy, did I do the right thing or is that harsh?

What is wrong with hydrophobic glass , Wished it was fitted to a few more windows . Mike

[dazmond]

the hose does my head in sometimes!its defo the solar lights and crap people keep in their gardens!!but its very minor in the greater scheme of things.

as for late payers it doesnt happen very often and even then i get paid in the end.

i dont have paypal!!waheyyy!!

customers who go out without paying dont bother me either unless they owe me 2 cleans!!


for me its also the best, most stress free occupation to be in!!we hardly have it hard do we?

[jimiwindows]

fan jets work well on hydrophobic glass.

[John pearce]

yes i know, always had fan jets and pencil jets on brush, but i still hate phobic glass, if all glass on our rounds was hydrophilic, it would be so much quicker and easier
