ever missed a window?
« on: July 20, 2009, 11:12:55 pm »
Went collecting tonight and I'm waiting for the cheque to be written out so I have a look at the windows. One looks a bit spotty then the custy comes to the door "see that mark - is it on the outside?" it was so I microfibred it off. "your kit didn't get that off when you cleaned"

Got me wondering if I missed that window completely  :-\

Yup. There's been times when I would've sworn blind that I'd cleaned all the windows on a customers house but when I check them all it's obvious I've somehow missed one. It happens especially when you zone out and are thinking of something other than what you're doing.

Occasionally ... and I've done one twice occasionally too! (Zoned out on a warm day and it's dried quickly)
It's a game of three halves!

Yes , now and then, cleaned the wrong house once, it was a terraced house and after I'd finished the front I went and cleaned the neighbours back windows. Custy noticed and took the mick for months. ::)

DOH!

once gave my dad a list to collect and wrote wrong number down, went to get paid - they paid him without question and even had quite a chat, only when checking off paid did i realise i had given him wrong number house, took money back next day and apologised

Done all that mate, and arrived at the next job to find I hadn't tied the ladders onto the rack, they were still there though.
I got off a balcony the other day, tied the ladders on, went to do the bottoms, and where was my small brush? You guessed it, on the balcony. Grrr!

We have all missed windows. Don't think you haven't.
