i think with age does come some wisdom...its quite funny freaking out and thinking at the same time kicking something is only going to hurt...and still doing it...i am getting a bit better at avoiding situations...but they sometimes crop up...

Get what is due then tell them to feck off is what I would do./emoticons/biggrin.png

I had a good one today, about 12 weeks ago I cleaned a house for a new customer who then decided I was not worth paying for whatever reason! I decided to not chase the payment as I have more important things to do with my time, so I struck him off my list.

I now clean the the houses at each side of his who are both very happy with my work, today while working I was in stealth mode with no magnetic signs on my van cleaning his neighbours house, this guys wife comes out and asks me to clean their windows so I asked if they had a window cleaner (I know they don't !) she replied that they had one but had got rid due to him being rubbish, I was like oh right who was it, she then told me who it was, you should have seen her face when I told her I was the last window cleaner who did her windows and I am still waiting for payment from her and her tight husband!

Her jaw dropped and nearly smashed the pavement when she realised I had caught her out trying to pull a fast one on me!

It was worth not getting paid just to see the horrified look on her face! Karma at last.

I had an email cancelling tonight. An 8 weekly job that I've done twice. Each time he's collared me to do his conny roof and it's a real ball ache as there is hardly any angle on the roof to rinse, plus I use a hell of a lot of water on it. The bloke is a bit of a ***** too. My reply was "no problem at all "

I wanted to take the p1ss in he reply a bit, but the Mrs wouldn't let me :thumbsdown:
