Okay, so a guy that cleans with me in the week was helping me do some Collecting last friday whilst i was away on other business.
He went to the wrong house 5 doors away from my actual customer. This was because somehow on the spreadsheet the address was changed to a previous customer i did well over a year ago 5 doors down. He knocked at this wrong house to collect £4 outstanding. The woman went ballistic, and seemed to think he was trying to con her and poach as she already has another windie(i know the guy me and him are cool). I thought it was over and no problem.
Until she phoned me this evening telling me she told the window cleaner she has to report my guy to the police just because he knocked on the wrong house. She was adamant that my guy told her he worked for this other guy, which by the way he doesn't even know and she said he was trying to scam me and this other guy. She has told and informed all her neighbours to be on the lookout...
What a proper fruitcake, all over somebody knocking for a £4 job which was a mistakenly knocked at the wrong house. Seriously what is wrong with people, i had to spend 30 minutes on the phone to this stupid bint to explain that it was a simple mistake on the spreadsheet and nothing malicious was intended by my guy, who by the way was well presented in uniform and business cards and she was adamant he was some sort of con man.
Sometimes i just wonder what is wrong with people :S
