Had one yesterday afternoon that didn't cancel but who insisted I'd only been three weeks since the last clean. She was in the garden when she said this.

"No," I said "it's four weeks to the day - I was here on March 19th ..."

"Oh, well I'll go and get my cheque book."

She comes back out and says "here you are, but it is only three weeks ..." and she's written April 9th on the cheque!

A bit exasperated I said "look Mrs _________ it's the 16th today not the 9th!"

'You have just woken me up so can you leave them today?'

'I fell down and broke my shoulder last week so can you leave them until next month'

'It's going to rain tomorrow, so it ain't worth it'

'It's too cloudy'

'It's too sunny'

'I'm not feeling well, the doctor has changed my medication so can we leave it today'

'My son needs to unbolt the gate and he's not back until later ... but i can reach over and unlatch it ... but what about closing it? ... i can reach over and close it too ... can we leave it today, my son needs to unbolt the gate'

'My wife's not well'

'Can we leave it, I've just sat down for the afternoon'
Where am I knocking today?

Had one in the post yesterday, thanking me for an excellent service over the last few years, but he's going to cancel because his neighbour is going to clean them for him, in exchange for a round of golf.

This job is only £18 every 2 months. He must get free or very highly discounted rounds of golf.
