Found this thread earlier where the general public discuss how best to sack their window cleaner, just thought it made an interesting read.

Some genuinely laugh-out-loud posts on that thread.

Thick gits    Further proof that it's time to trim the herd. Maybe start building camps to keep these mongs in.
Every district should have a camp. Bigger camps maybe in the South East, but it could be done for a few billion. Think of the money that would be saved in the long term!! Maybe after a few weeks we could cut the power and heating fuel to the camps, and the savings would increase.

Totally agree.

the first response summed it up
"it never ceases to amaze me what people will post on here"

I remember once having a customer come to the door to cancel while sticking his chest out. 
What a tool.

most of my customers wouldnt dare sack me as indeed they would get kneecapped and spend the rest of their life in a wheelchair!!

Seriously though, a lot of people are scared to sack their window cleaner or complain about almost anything!
At a recent night out I was asked about my "new occupation" since being made redundant and starting window cleaning.
I was amazed just how many were unhappy with their window cleaner.
My niece pays £12 per month doesn't know when they have been - they just turned up a week or two after they moved in said "we're the window cleaners"and asked for £12.
She's scared to tell them to go away!!
My wife's friend has a window cleaner who uses WFP and makes a complete mess but he's been "cleaning" for 7  years and she "doesn't like to tell him."
My brother says his windie is rubbish and makes a mess but again doesn't want confrontation.
My sister say's hers are like a gang of crims and she daren't upset them!
Just 'cos we don't get sacked or complaints doesn't always mean we're doing a good job.

The amount of times Ive knocked a house and the customer says to me yes I have a guy, yes I know his work is terrible but I really couldnt sack him hes such a lovely guy. Im thinking hes not that lovely taking £15 a month of you for 5 years and hes not even turning up by the looks of it.

You cant buy loyalty like that, to be fair his work was decent

I had a good go at it, I knocked for 7 hours there that day. Just kept thinking any minute Im going to hit that golden street, to make it worse it was chucking it down and I had tooth ache, Ive had it go totally the other way before too. Ive had whole estates come out before, saying oh thank goodness someones knocked we've had him here ages hes rotten sign me up, been waiting for a flyer/knocker.

What baffles me is why dont they just google some one and get them in ?       

[Ian101]
