got told today someone looking for me as hes not happy with me getting one of his ex customers who binned him cos he was agressive 

already had 1 run in with him ... I just started laughing at him ... which he didnt appreciate so I just laughed some more

prob will canvass all the more now just to annoy him

i always avoid,ian(his now more successful than me),richard (isparkle)(because he can clean £500 a day),richy (wilts)because i owe him a book,a pole,parts for pumps,gav(he always looks fierce to me)

avoid these people at all costs

Never a truer word spoken bob

Nutjobs are everywhere  
I work in sunny Southport and mostly I wave or acknowledge other cleaners, but its a mixed bag of miserable stony faced so-and-so's and a couple that acknowledge me and a couple I can natter to for a few minutes. Just can't figure the sour ones. Speaks volumes about them really. Not been threatened yet so I must be doing something right. Or wrong, maybe....  

[Richard iSparkle]

i find some are friendly and some a little stand offish, as tho theyre not sure how we're going to respond to them. 

had one follow my guy around last week complaining about our work, criticising us, and then getting more threatening.  my guy is about 5'2, but just happens to be a semi pro kick boxer and cage fighter!!!!  looks like butter wouldnt melt, but is hard as nails if provoked enough!

Tend to get on with the guys I see around the areas we do and have a joke about, get the odd look from the new ones that keep popping up but willing to be nice to anyone of them.

Most are sound you will always get the odd trouble maker but thats life i guess

[elite mike]

get on well with all the windys here and we all seem to help each other ,

with the exception of one prat  and we all know who that is

Whilst working  i do notice that so many shiners have a chip on there shoulder some are so rude and just dont want to know, a lot act as if your not there or they clean as fast as they can to show off, the best are the ones cleaning opposite with the evils. I catch them looking with the corner of there eye but still they dont wont say hello, its mainly trad guys that are the worse. Im not saying all window cleaners are as have met some realy nice down to earth guys out in the streets but defo a high percentage are miserable gits with attitude.

How do you find it?? Or are you a misserable bar steward who blancs other shiners.

Yeah i can't stand you!!!!..... ..you cause to many arguments Lol

 I dont have a problem with local guys round my area, and there are a few now, some you get a nod, others a chat and some your not even there.

Had one guy, funny enough he is on this forum, who I approached some years ago just to find out how the change was from trad to pole as I had just changed over.

Wow, what an attitude, didn't even look up from his sitting position in his double cab vehicle, playing with his Iphone.

OH well takes all sorts.

Most of the locals have been here for years like me. We all know each other, get on very well and even help each other sometimes, but we are all very laid back down here in the South West.

[lee_dewing]

I use to make a point of chatting to any windie i saw.

Always found it a pointless exercise, just want to know what i'm earning how much work i got.

Telling me how great they are.

Can't belive how many wfp guys i meet who are blissfully unaware of the better poles and brushes and gadgets on the market, swivel, a-dapter.

Fan and 1mm jets, save water smaller tank, smaller van, cheaper roadtax, diesel etc,etc

I don't mind talking to other windies, but i let them start the chat now.

Helped a few in my time with wfp advice, shown em my setup, answered all their questions.

Roar past me without a wave

[jimiwindows]

i thought every one up north was friendly. down here in londons westend we all talk and help each other.

[CleanClear]

All the local windies like to chat to me. Ranging from...."if i see you here again i'll have the van off ya", "i'll find out where you live and torch the van", "if i see you here again i'll do you and your van in". And them some are even more social and like to phone up and say "if the van is not gone out of [insert name of road] i'll go round and smash his head in". Always full of chat and summat to say. Thats Liverpool anyway. I always thought Southerners where a little more introvert and rarely spoke ? Can't beat the banter we have here.
