I knew you were coming, but have no money... call round the next day and they give you a cheque FFS
Only those who risk going too far will truly know how far they can actually go

They only say it once though (to me) because then it's bysie bye!

Had one yesterday (who was an every other month one anyway) leaning out the top window - avin' A fyaaag -  after I'd dragged my hose 30 yards to her front door:-

Her:- "Can you leave it this time?"
Me:- "Oh dear, is there a problem? Any particular reason?"
Her (puffin' away like Puffing Billy on a 1 in 100 slope with ten wagons):- "I've got no money cuz it's Christmas!"
Me:- (Shaking head and walking back to van with pole over my shoulder like Dick Whittington on his way to London with a pack of sandwiches tied to the end ) "Bye!"
Her:- "Is that ok?"
Me:- (20 yards away) "No ... bye now!"
Her:- "I'll have you next time!"
Me:- (30 yards away, reeling in the hose) "No you won't, bye!"
Her:- (Slams window ...)
It's a game of three halves!

Although I've only been going about 3 months, starting to hear them.  Some are because I'm new to the customer, and not built up enough trust yet - " you've missed bits "  - when the marks turn out to be inside and they couldn't see them before because they've needed cleaning for a while..

Best was last week " You'll have to do them when I'm in so you can get to the back, but I'm in and out all the time so once a month I'll ring you when I'm in for a bit and you can come round then and do them "  ::)  Me -  "that won't work"  ;D

Yesterday -

" I suppose you'll be packing up for winter and finding something else to do "  ;D  Yep, sure lol.  I'll just "find something else to do "

You sure it's only window cleaning they want from you?   :)
