Bloody nerve

[abs]

Pulled on this cul De sac today and noticed a window cleaner the other end of the road , got my wfp out and walked towards the house I was cleaning then noticed this guy leaflet dropping next door , he turned to me and said " better not put a window cleaning leaflet through that door " I said yei m8 dam right you better not ! He returned to his car and took his ladder off and disappeared, , sorry but in the same situation I'd of walked away and simply said nothing , looking back I really wish I'd of confronted him more

Cracks me up when I see others working in the same street how polite everyone speaks to each other. Probably because they don't want some nut job to go throwing a wobbly /emoticons/biggrin.png

remind yourself to dole out a few of your own praps.

The newbie you help on the forum today, could be the guy door-dropping the street you are working in tomorrow.

Personally I would have carried on dropping but just missed the house you were on.

I thought about it and he was obviously being a smart **** who thought he was clever , I'll have a search for him today I think few things I'd like to say in his she'll like

To true, I've a few decent friends who window clean and I'm always first to start a chat with other window cleaners , just feel this guy was a smart **** and the more I think about it the more I want to bring him down a peg

I don't understand what hes done to **** you off mate? Its not like he posted it through the house you were working on.

Exactly. It's not like you own that road. If you're confident about the quality of your work you shouldn't be worrying too much.

Guess I maybe over reacting but the guy was very smug and it just ****** me off

I've done this exact thing several times /emoticons/smile.png

I would have probably still dropped a flyer in that letterbox just for the crack.

Well I could have been advertising other services on my flyer for all you know not just window cleaning.

I'm not interested in taking anyone’s work off them but so many enquires I get they already have a window cleaner but need something else doing that their regular window cleaner won't or can't do.

You have to remember it is the homeowner that decides who they want for a job not the other way around.

Couple of weeks ago I gave a quote to a lady while a windy was cleaning the house next door, his face was awesome lol

Good job the weekend is about to start :thumbsup:......sit back...chill-out...and enjoy /emoticons/smile.png.

"GET OFF MY PATCH" springs to mind /emoticons/biggrin.png

 

[abs]

Well I saw this guy today and walked over to him and had a word with him , this guy apologised and said he shouldn't of stared at me and spoke to me like rambo, I told him he really ****** me of and yes it made me angry , I certainly know I don't own the road and I welcome and know others folk regular canvas my Area but this guy should of been discreet and not smug

 

[PTWC]

Yeah i agree mate, he should not have been 'in ya face'

What i'd do is canvas the houses in that road yourself.

If anyones in need of a windy you could now pick them up.

 

[Dave B]

I have no patience for fools or knobheads who try to act all charlie hard

I wouldn't of been able to keep calm and let him walk away when he said it without being in his face

No need for that attitude

At least he apologised without you having to stick a nut on him first

I get that mate, its not what he said its the way he said it. But sounds to me like you just need to leave it there or you could get yourself into unnecassary bother. I got ****** off myself the other night just because of a guy that asked for a quote and then went with another windy that was 4quid cheaper. I can't explain why it ****** me off so much but it just did.

I'm betting that other firm that dropped their price by £100 to try keep a contract I took off them this week are also a bit peed off too.

Was not my fault as the customer decided to go with me instead at higher price.
