This is why you’re not cut out to be a window-cleaner. Unagreeable parking doesn’t ruin your day. It’s simply a minor inconvenience, at worse.

How do you describe a day if a customer has forgotten to unlock the side gate, warfare?

Window cleaning is one of the least stressful jobs you can do....locked gates,occasional parking issues is all in a days work and very minor in the working day....

It's about adapting and accepting that things are just not gonna run ultra smooth every day.

It's the same in the gym🏋️‍♂️ ...I might have a certain workout planned in my head before I get there but someone might be on the piece of equipment/machine I want to use so I'll just adapt and use something else and often have a different,more interesting  workout.

Well this is where we differ, if something annoys me i`ll try to remove the annoyance rather than just put up with it.

I went to the gym earlier this year but got sick to death of waiting for machines and having to do other exercies that i didnt really want to do because of it. Hence why i packed it in and went back to my home gym, problem solved.

If someone is spending ages looking at their phone(which seems to happen a lot these days in commercial gyms)in between sets I'll politely say 'how many sets you got left' or 'can I work in with you on this machine"...this often leads to them doing another half arsed set then their off or they just get off it immediately and go somewhere else.🤣👍.

Me and this other guy were talking the other day how we were the hardest working guys in the gym(he's 67 now)and I'm 53...

Most young people are just glued to their phones and not working anywhere near hard enough with enough intensity and proper form to see any progression

Gutter Force or G force.
Had mine ages.
They have just upgraded all there equipment.
The vacs are excellent.
I am upgrading mine next year and will use them again.
Very competitive too.
