Approached by an old dear on a mobo scooter earlier this week

"ere ow much do you charge ?"

"its a bungerlow"

ok need to see your bungerlow

"well ok but your not one of those who work quickly are you"

??? how you mean quickly

"you know the type like the one that does me neighbours house across road from me ... hes done in under 5 minutes"

hmmm will pop around later to give you a price

"oh no young man you cant come today - looks like its going to rain"

hmmmm ok love will get to you when its sunny then.

Bought some work off a guy, so went round poating explanation letters.

One chap phones me up. Asking when im coming etc....

Then proceeds to ask if I clean in bad weather, I replied we work in light rain

'oh, me & (previous cleaner) had an agreement, not to clean in the rain or if its going to rain'

I replied, of course it going to rain, at some point after the clean!

'no, I just mean if its going to rain within a few hours'

I replied, with all due respect mate, I dont work for the met office, so I dont know if it will rain.

The conversation was quite comical, wish I recorded it ;D

Needless to say, I never bothered going anyway

The stock answer to that one is:
"Any particular year?"

My standard response to this is.

'This is England it's always 'about to rain' if I didn't work in case it rained I'd never work'

All said nicely and with a smile, in 9 years of syaing that all but one of the customers has backed down and the other one I just left.
A manager is generally someone who has been promoted to the position by someone else who didn't see them as a threat.
Hence all people are promoted to the level of their incompetence
