Me and my big mouth ...
« on: March 21, 2012, 09:00:39 pm »
So Dan the man (my trusty employee) gets asked by this ex custy of mine to do his windows - Dan being polite and helpful asks me over and I trot over - realising who it is I say loudly:-

"I won't be cleaning your windows as your wife was really rude to me, told me not to clean her windows and ignored me ever since!"

Old boy says - "Well my wife is dead so that won't be a problem will it? ...."

No, no, no, Stu. She could be hiding behind the curtains, wanting her windows cleaned but unwilling to ask herself. In cases like this, my rules are death or apologise; with still no guarantees of a clean.
If she's dead, then maybe; if the bloke seems ok.
Only joking, I'd have done them if he seemed like a genuine customer.

Did you ask where the body was?

It could have been under the patio.

Are you sure you can trust him?  It sounds like something I would come out with for a joke, and to also get my windows cleaned.  "Shush woman, hide in a bedroom, the window cleaner only agreed to clean our windows when I told him you'd died of cancer.  Now be quiet and hide!"

I reckon he's pulling a fast one.

It gets worse ... I was just starting to agree to do the windows after all when he said "Why can't you use a ladder like you used to?" So I replied "because this does a better job and gets your frames cleaned too."

"No it doesn't!" He says.

So I said "Look I didn't do your windows before because of your attitude and I don't want to do them now; I'm sorry for your loss but I'm still not cleaning your windows!"

And this is it; get this - this is where I really got "owned" - this little old guy looks at me through his thick glasses and in his thick eastern european accent which he hasn't lost in 60 years and says "bit touchy aren't you?"

"Well I'm still not doing your windows" is my lame reply.  :-[ :-[

Thanks Graham - I don't mind admitting when I overreact or react too quickly - it's a lesson learned and one I am already seeing the funny side of.

And no I wouldn't want him as a custy again - I just wish I had shown a bit more tolerance and kindness with it.
