Same here,
May come over as a bit unprofessional but if I get spoken to like shyte thats what they can expect back, give as good as you get. Afterall I work for myself and choose how, when and where and for who I work. Money doesn't even come into it for me, if I feel I am not being treated as an equal and without respect, I walk !  ;)

It's odd but pretty much everyone I haven't really liked over the past few years has dumped me within about three cleans.

One exception was a terrifically snotty woman who was thoroughly unpleasant to me on her first clean.  I finished and said something like "I've done your windows but I think it's important to enjoy my work.  You were pretty rude to me today so I'm not charging and I won't be coming back. Cheerio".  She just slammed the door and I walked away half an hour of life wasted but happy.

 There is no way i would have walked away without charging her first,  1st thing she got away with being very
 rude to you.  2nd thing she got away without paying for a service you provided. She wins.  :o

I did have one, dog ugly and was right up herself and just plain rude. I got a window cleaner in Andover to take the job off me.
Cheers Wayne.

I had a snotty customer back in 2005, large house. anyway I finish the job, and wait for payment and she chucks the money out of the window at me (in notes) no kidding . So I rang the doorbell again, she opens the door and i say hiya all done, that's £xxx please.

I just paid you she said. Im like..erm no you didn't. She then says yea I did I gave you the money just now. im like opening my pockets, erm nope sorry I don't have it. Shall I pop back later?

I JUST PAID YOU, she goes..so im like no you haven't, where is it then? in frustration she barges past me delves into the hedges and picks up the notes that fell on the floor...THERE she goes

Im like oh how did it get there? im sure you hadn't paid me.. thanks again.

Right away I took her off the books, and she left a message 3 months later asking why I hadn't been again...honeslty do I need to explain??

The best ones are the customers who look down on you because were "poor windies, and lowest of low"
I remember this one customer almost trying to embarrass me infront of her friends saying " didnt you want to do a better job when you left school? Doesnt it annoys you cleaning bird poop for a living? Etc

So later i used my dads audi to collect her money... He jaw nearly dropped when i asked if she liked my new car  ;D

Rolling up to a customer in a nice car can have two effects;
1, They think you must be charing too much
2, You must be good to have so many customers to have a car like that.
