BEST EXCUSE I'VE HEARD TO DATE....
« on: November 16, 2006, 06:36:02 pm »

Me: Hello Mrs Whitehead,I'm in the area tomorrow can I do your windows?
Mrs W: Can we leave it for a few weeks.
Me: Er yeah OK.
Mrs W: You see a spider has made her web on the front window and I don't want  you to disturb her.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

Good idea but depends on how big the bugger is....I am a bit of a scaredy-cat when it comes to spiders.

lol, thats cracked me up.

Should have told her that you could easily move the spiders web onto a nearby bush, with your specialst window cleaning spider removal pole.

Some customers are just pure class.   ;D

Collect as many spiders as you can, then post them all through her letterbox individually.

She'll love having more 8 legged friends!

One of my customers employs me just to get rid of the webs on the frames - she's not too worried about how clean the glass is! 

You should lend your customer a copy of the film Arachnophobia! ;D

I have had that too. The web was accross the brickwork 6 inches away from the glass, I could have got my WFP brush into that space let alone the applicator and squeegie I was using. Dai
