[M & C Window Cleaning]

I've been refused payment by one custy when I tried to collect money on a sunday evening and I've also been turned away by another customer because she had Catholic relatives visiting on Good Friday and it upset them that I was working.

Frustrating!!!

[WCE]

Could of been worse though, you could of been dressed as the devil!!!

[LWC]

[seandyer2003]

i have a lady who doesnt let me clean on a saturday as she follows the sabbath, but i think she is muslim! crazy, i do the round over a friday/saturday so it means i have to miss them alot, i just charge more, but why it matters that i am working i dont know!!?

[windowwashers]

Jewish people they cant pay for working on this day so I was toldbuy one of my customers I think this is there day of rest etc.

I very very rarely work window cleaning at weekends

[BDCS]

I had to clean the drains at a mosque because the thing they wash their feet in was blocked and they never mentioned dodgy days - I did have to remove my boots to walk on the rug !

[seandyer2003]

this lady aint jewish though!

Regardless of religious reasons, I wouldn't want anyone around on a Sunday.

religion is the cause of so many problems :

Its Interesting that so little is known about religious beliefs now, and the above comments thinking people are crazy because people  have a faith.

Its not that long ago - only 14 years, that shops didnt open on Sundays because this was still considered a Christian country.

Orthadox Jews are not allowed under their religious law to pay for goods from Friday night until Saturday night - or use a vehicle,switch on a light, travel on public transport  or even prepare food.

Muslims are called to prayer midday on a Friday and can return to work after prayer.

What is wrong with these thousands of year old traditions?

[Londoner]

I don't have a problem with it. A lot of my customers are Jewish and I wouldn't go there on a Saturday but like everything else people vary in their views. Some people are very strict and others less so.

Its interesting because I have a Synagog at one end of my road, a Methodist Church in the middle and a West Indian Pentecostal Church at the other end.

It takes all sorts to make a world.

I do work on Sunday sometimes though I try to avoid it where possible.  If I do work, I will try to stick to non residential work.  If I do a bit of domestic, I never start before 10 unless it's pre-arranged.  One woman gave a religious reason why I shouldn't have cleaned her place on a Sunday.  I can understand someone not wanting me around their place on a Sunday but religious reasons seem a bit outmoded to me.  I bet they would soon complain if they couldn't cook a meal or have any light on a Sunday because all the power workers suddenly got religious.

here here

what i was getting at is even if i did clean her windows on a sunday...which i didnt...so WHAT!

[Oakley Windows]

I bet theyd call an ambulance out on a Sunday if they needed one.

[jaykie]

The reason you put the 27th LWC is because you couldnt get my 30th birthday out of your head.

I think that if someone asks me not to clean on a certain day then I would generally adhere to that.

But to claim the sabbath (Sunday) is a an immovable part of devout Christian belief actually goes directly against what Christ is recorded to have said in Matthew Chapter 12 where he and his followers are walking through fields and eating bits of grain that was growing there.

The Pharisees (Jewish Religious leaders) roundly accuse them of working on the sabbath (actually a Saturday) and Jesus says in essence "Hang on a minute, King David got hungry and he and his soldiers ate directly from the temple food which was against the religious law - and which of you who has a trapped animal wouldn't save it on the Sabbath?"

You can consider yourself a devout Christian and not believe in Sabbaths.

As said by a Vince Green -  it takes all sorts - and as long as religious adherants live and let live then fine. But that's what many of them refuse to do, sadly.

Yes I'm grateful for the power company that lights and heats my home on a Saturday or Sunday and I'd clean by prior arrangement on a Sunday if it suited me. In practice I think I have only ever worked once on a Sunday and that was doing a school and I wanted to avoid the rainy Saturday!
