I've been cleaning the local school since friday, but had yesterday off due to the weather. Its my lads school, but sadly it is religious, and right next door to a church. Beautiful day today, perfect on the glass. Im parked up, and cleaning the windows next to the small carpark that the church goers are parking in. Lots of old ladies and the like saying hello, and one couple even thanking the lord for the nice weather....they didnt see the funny side when I told them to ''have a word to the bloke up there about the rain yesterday!'' I made this joke before to a religious customer and they gave me the same blank look.
Anyway, moments later an old fat bloke walks over, so I took my headphones out and said good morning.
"Who gave you permission to clean on a Sunday"?
"What do you mean, who gave me PERMISSION?....Who are you...identify yourself?"
"I'm the school governer".
"I don't care, I'm a private contractor, I dont ask for permission, I work when I like. I was given a deadline which is tomorrow, so here I am"
"This is a religious school, you cant work on a Sunday".
"I'm a private contractor, I work when I like".
He walks off in a huff saying; "I'll be talking to the principle about this".
"You do that".
Theres a good chance I may lose this contract now, but thats the price you pay sometimes for not putting up with :turd:.:finger:
