barterer strikes again

I have a couple of sikhs i work for who are very good payers very friendly and always offer a drink

I have worked with sikhs before and they are good people

 
english woman in her 50s i do windows for. 1st time i go there see an injun in the garden,lad in his 20s tidyin up. was goin to say "are u busy?" then realize this is Her fellah!

Anyhow after a couple of uneventful cleans suddenly get a phone call from the injun ,mad as anythin, weve left a sill unwiped , I want you back here NOW ,not tomoro NOW

I really wanted to say "hang on a mo gunga, where you came from not so long ago there are no windows never mind sills "

 
I do my job to the best standard i can every time but mistakes can be made due to us being only human

But if someone spoke to me like that even if i was at fault they could go **** themselves

There is nothing in this world that will make me accept being spoken to like that

 
I had one like that boarAfter a few minutes of them constantly tapping on the windows from inside to point out marks that i hadn't even got round to wiping or scraping off yet i packed up my ladders and left them to it

Don't take me for a fool
Been in that boat Davey, I found the stand and stare at them till they go away and leave you in peace to work seems to be the best approach! /emoticons/smile.png

I would have asked him to put his missus on the phone as it is her that contracted me to do the windows not him!

Listen to him explode for five seconds and then put the phone down.

I'm so over putting up with no8 head custies. :oops:

 
Most people are no problem and genuine but there are still a few bell ends about

 
keep us posted .... plus get a foto of her to alert forum members what type to watch out for. theyre usually getting in or out of a car with bags of shopping when you are nearby, its uncanny but true
Love the photo idea, perhaps we should all start pointing camera phones at pain in the ar&e custies houses, when they say 'what ya doin?' just tel them they are going on the official window cleaners blacklist!

I reckons that might change some attitudes quickly! /emoticons/tongue.png

 
Nah Davey, I was done by noon, had it lined up as an easy one being Easter and all. Dont know if you read other thread but fired all staff today! One for complaining about doing two hours after asking for 2 hours and the other for short cutting cause he 'couldnt be bothered'
