Window cleaners nightmare

[Cottonlung]

They used to say leaded glass and Georgian frames were the window cleaners nightmare.. how wrong they are.. wheelie bins, bushes and fecking patio furniture.. it's been one of those weeks haha.

I hate wheelie bins with passion. No one keeps them in their gardens where they were supposed to go but chuck them out in the alleys. They stink to high heaven in the summer and are an absolute menace to anyone trying to get down alleyways, especially us wfpers. We currently have one per household in my area, but my local council was planning to give us two or three more per household a couple of years back and I was like.. Noooooooo!

Fortunately they have shelved the idea for the moment. But I'm sure it'll be back on the agenda before long

In Barnsley they have 4! General waste, garden waste, recycling, cardboard. Wheelie bin wheels are the worst possible contraption for getting hose stuck on. The only useful thing is occasionally you can use them to climb over a gate.

Not for me they wouldn't, I had to go pick up a new black bin from their facility on Smithies lane as it was missing when we moved in.

Edit: I feel like there's a pun I'm missing...?

Yeh bins are so annoying, catch the hose so well!! And yep patio furniture, I don’t know why but loads of customers have started sitting their plants pots on these little movable leg stands, really easy to accidentally move & knock so the plant pot will fall over!! So annoying, before when the plant pot was just on the floor it was fine, you could slide the hose along side it, now I have to be so careful.

Depends how much of a fat git you are. This window cleaning lark has done wonders for the old waist line but I reckon I could still do some damage to a bin lid haha ?

My pet hate are those poxy little solar lights that are planted in the ground. Hose always seems to snag in them and they have snapped on occasion.

Me too! I've busted so many I've lost count. Never been called out on it though. I recon ppl know how annoying they are.

Haha. It’s amazing how just the smallest of things you can get snagged on. It really p1sses me off when you have to walk back 50 meters to find your hose has kinked and snagged on a raised flag. [emoji35][emoji35]

Wheelie bin wheel or car tyres they are the just about only thing I get snagged on with my setup apart from the pole hose sometimes gets caught between decking boards.

I keep standing on the hose when cleaning fsg so I try and get the hose in front of me. Then I stand on it again when moving sideways. :1f602:

 

[Iurie]

small plastic ornaments , meerkats , fake flowers , solar lights bbq and flower pots everywhere 

Ive got a customer who has all of em 

and everything gets worse when im hungry 

 

[steve garwood]

My worker jake broke a flower pot that was special to the customer.

We went to a garden centre to see about replacing it, and whilst in there, you’ll never guess who was in there? Only Michael j Fox!

Well I think it was him, but he had his back to the fuscias ?
