Unusual customer request
« on: August 09, 2012, 07:23:36 am »
Knocked on a customers door, needed some windows shut.

'Oh good I'm glad you knocked before u started can you come with me I need to show you something' says the customer looking anxious.

'ok' says I

We go round the back and he points to the 1st floor window. I wait a moment. 'Can you see it?' he says

It's a spiders web, appparently he's been watching the spider build it all morning and doesn't want it broken. He then talks at some length about how moving it all is, whilst staring either at my beard or off into the distance and then I realise...

He's stoned...again

Nice guy, expensively dressed,  owns a large house, doesn't seem to work, and sometimes is more in touch with reality than other times. ;D

What's the best one you've all had

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

It's like when you're working and a woman comes over the road and says 'can you do me afterwards' and youre thinking 'shall I do the obvious joke?'

Best I've had is the time honoured "How often do you come?"

I can remember when waking up stiff in the morning was a good thing.

I started cleaning windows when I was 18 on a Saturday with my mate Steve. Steve was what you would call a ladies man. What you would think, he would say.
 
What time does your husband go to work tonight  love? why don't I come round with a bottle of wine once he's gone? That was mild. And the thing is a lot of the housewives loved it!

Things he said to customers you wouldn't believe, but it worked, Oh my did it work and he wasn't choosey either. he had me cringing and biting the rungs of the ladder in embarrassment. Talk about you couldn't trust him with ya granny. You couldn't trust him with ya granny's dog

Then I would end up doing the rest of the day on my own.

Now I would like to tell you it all ended happily but it didn't. With Steve it was an illness and it got worse
