Post by: nathankaye on March 08, 2016, 12:42:27 pm
Been cleaning this chaps house for a while now trad n now 9mnths on wfp.
Daughter goes uni and iive never seen her till today. Cleaned front windows n went to bk. Patio door slides open n she sticks her head out and says "you kno we wont pay for this" I smiled and said dont worry your dad pays online, yon dont need to pay. She then pulled a face and said no, it looks like all youve done is just wet the windows, not paying for that!!
It just made me laugh, shes onto me, there goes my scam lol. I told her to speak to her dad or check my page out for more info before making an uneducated assumption........what do university students learn these days?????

Watered pole window cleaning wont be in her syllabus so she's as ignorant about it as you are to whatever it is she's studying I'd guess.

Bless her as obviously she did not undestand the concept of wfp and was only looking out for her parents .

For all she knew you were  just splashing tap water on the windows  ;D

You could say the same for a fair percentage of guys who use it so at least she has an excuse. ;D

Yebbut I wouldn't comment on what she is studying in a dismissive and derogatory way.

Chaps,,,,,isnt the point of learning esp at uni is not to make quick assumptions, to be open to the possibilities, open minded not a closed book! That is the point i found amusing n what my statement intended!

However in addition this young lady was heavily into goth scene, so a response more suitable from me may have been in line with " you of all people should realise that theres always more to something than first appears" and maybe give a lecture myself perhaps,,

I would suggest that the main reason people go to university is to avoid doing jobs such as window cleaning.

In most cases these days, because so many go to university, they will only end up in a call centre anyway.

That would be suggestive that fellow shiners are not intellectual or unable to obtain a suposedly better job. Where reality personnally and knowing others also, who have gave up the high life and left the stress of corporate life and simplified to become their own boss. Yes we get messed around and yes the weather can disrupt the routine. But in comparison, its great and more time   spent with the wive n family. Cant beat it

Case rested. Keep trying to convince yourself that.

Keep telling myself that!!
Haha, sounds like someone is not happy with their lot in life and wishes to aim for greater than can reach perhaps. Perhaps im wrong!
Either case, with ample qualifications and still gaining through open studies, whilst running effectively my empire which allows for a pleasant roof over my head and that of my wife and three young children and allows my wife not to work and allows me at sane time to spend quality time as a family. ........yes I will enjoy waking every morning to me telling myself this. Compared to working every hour for the company and the company rules and being married to the company and fighting other directors for holiday leave to scrounge some family time.
Now, case rested sir
