It doesnt matter who's car it is....
And it doesnt matter what the customer thought i wouldnt clean her property again with the stinking attitude she had...

I binned them anyway! That was the point just to make them think i was earning more than them!

Haha of course it matters whose car it is. Why would anyone care what anyone thought of them anyway.

Why don't you hire a ferrari for the weekend and drive it whilst collecting.
That'll show em whose boss

Seeing the words "nice car" come out of her mouth was enough to please me:)

My bloody wife is my worst customer

[Johnny B]

I got one. Well, the wife is really nice, and wants her windows cleaned regularly every month, sometimes more often than that as I am in her road every Friday. Her husband, however, always sends me away, and comes across to me as though I am not fit to be under his shoe.

Today he sent me away again. Had his wife answered the door, she more likely than not would have been happy for me to work away.

Sorry if I am hijacking this thread, but seriously guys, what would you do? When I turn up next week, she will probably ask me to do hers, but her husband's attitude is beginning to get under my skin, and I am close to telling her so.

Once a month, 1st of the month. Job done.
Or, say to Mrs Lovliness- 'your lad seems a bit if a tw@. If you see me about, flick the kettle on and give me a shout'

Thanks for the reply. She has always paid on the day, usually more than I ask for, so being paid isn't the problem. She's a great customer, he's the fly in the ointment! When I see her next I think I will explain that I don't think her husband wants me to call there, as he always unhesitatingly tells me I am not wanted that day whenever he answers the door. I appreciate her as a customer, but I am not comfortable with the knowledge that he doesn't want me on their property; and see what she says.

If you're always there on a specific day-get her to text you if she wants you.
Or-this Malay be a bit harder-have a chat with the fella. There may be another reason why he is less than pleased to see you. Could be a conversation away from the pair of 'em being cracking customers

I have a similar customer, been doing them for 6 years. Wife lovley lady, shes the one who wanted a window cleaner, husband to start with wouldn't even talk to me or acknowledge me.

One day I overheard them arguing about using me, he was objecting to her having to pay someone to clean the windows when he can do it himself. Her reply to him was, well if you actually DID clean them like you said you would I wouldn't be paying for the service of a window cleaner to start with; but in the 20 years I have lived here you have never actually done them amongst other things I wont mention..so we are keeping him. lol

As time went on though he softened the day he grunted to me in acknowledgement I nearly fell over took about 4 years though.

Then one day I knocked on the door, and wife wasn't in, hello sir I have finished cleaning your windows here is your bill. He sort of grunted to me 'I suppose ill get the money hang on' he comes back hands me the money and says to me how comes when you use your bush thingy the water dries off and leaves no marks on the glass?

I explained to him that we use de-ionised water, showed him the setup he asked me how do I know my water is pure? my reply was well I test it using a tds meter, if it reads 0 its  pure if it goes to 1 or above it the resin needs to be changed. How can you trust that tds thingy he says. I say because it takes two measurements, first it measures the voltage across the water, it then compairs the  resistance with the terminal voltage and you get a figure in microsemens which is a measurement of conductance; 100% Pure water is in fact an insulator to electric charge, so the less conductive the water the purer it is then the final figure in microsemens is converted to TDS total dissolved solids which is an calucalted estimation of howmany dissolved solids per million are in the water. I want 0 so I keep it at 0 and change it as soon as it goes to 1.

He was very impressed with that, and it turns out he used to work for Marconi as a radar specialist in the 1970's

from then on we get on fine..

LOL.  Sounds more like a measure of sperm count.

[Paul Coleman]

I don't have to get along with a customer.  Neutral will do.  It can even be mildly fractious.  However, if I sense that I'm starting to become the scapegoat for other problems or personal issues they might have, the service ends.

He means microsiemens; fortunately phonetically it sounds the same!
