As well you didnt have a TM tank to fill.

One good thing about doing insurance work is that you get to deal with upset and sometimes rude people all the time so you soon learn to hone your skills.

Nowerdays,what with rogue trader.etc on the box,people are very suspitious of tradesmen and people in general.You do find that a few people are abit rude and off when you first enter their house,but after they observe how polite you are and  the quality of the job,their personality and attitude soon change and your finished paid  and out the door.Saying that,when a custy is extremely rude and tries to get something for nothing,and treats you like shi-,you dont really want to do the job,Time to leave.Steve,

I had a similar thing the other day, not carpet cleaning. I was called into to a job by an architect i work for to replace a under floor heating mat, a builder had laid it and laid limestone tiles on top of it and it didn't work, it was only 3sqm. So i went and got the stone up and the electrician came and laid a new one, i went back relaid the floor, and a few days later the customer was on the phone saying it doesn't work and i damaged it and he wasn't going to pay me, and put the phone down before i had said anything...I rang the electrician and he said he would pop in and have a look.....And guess what they hadn't turned it on. I did get an apology...Bloody customers.

Sadly some have attitudes!  But what I have found society is changing a lot more polite and apologetic people, even with white van drivers and motorcyclist, could it be knife crime culture.

We used to do a lot of work for Kings Oak home builders.
They would build them, people move in, people find problems, people move out, builders back in, builders finish work, then we'd go in and clean the place to show room conditions, then people move back in again.
What was reasonably easy work was spoilt by the home owners who thought that we were Kings Oak.
The vehicle signwriting says differently but they wouldn't take any notice of that and some of the grief we used to get as if we had build the places too

Got one to do this week a sky engineer has stomped through their brand new house with brand new carpets and left oily footprints,doing it through an insurance company and you can just tell he is going to be a pain as there was a lot of swearing down the phone :

When i had my valeting centre had a custy that told me i was to give his car a full valet that day i told him i was fully booked for two weeks he just chucked the keys at me and said i will be back at five, the reason i told him i was fully booked was i was going on my hols that afternoon and i was only at work to pick somthing up .
He angered me that much i parked his car in the unit locked up and went on my hols with a big grin, he went of his tits when i got back i just laught at him and i sent a bill for storage he never paid  !!!

Susan, it happens to us fella's too... A freaky looking lady customer asked me to take my top off yesterday, I just said "I've got bigger boobs than you have love, you really don't need to see me with no top on!"

I'm having a really weird week so far
