"Not today I haven't got the time." was the one that left me 

These days if I get some fanny excuse I say: "No problem call me when you're ready and I'll see if I can help." That way if, as or when they call I have the choices of:

I'm a bit short on work so I'll do them and perhaps charge a bit more. Or I'm busy so can take pleasure in saying "no thanks."

Did a quick canvas in a road where I have a new customer.
Woman grabs the leaflet from my hand.
W: 'Oh great I've been looking for a window cleaner for ages, how much do you charge'
Me: '£15 for this house if done monthly'
W: 'That's great'
Me: 'Ok shall I book you in my diary'
W: 'No I'll need to decide which weekend I want it doing'

I wonder why she's been looking for ages...

I was told today, " Not today, there's a big flag hanging outside the window" ??

Turns out it's an England flag her hubby put up for the world cup. I told her it'd be there next month too to which she said, " The football's not on that long is it?" On hearing that it'll still be going this time next month she says, "Sod that, the silly sod can put his bloody flag up later then."

Down came the flag and up went my pole; her hubby's just a keen footie fan I guess
