there are a couple of little things that are  "little annoyances" shall we say when window cleaning.....

1.open sash windows!.....esp when your there and the customer doesnt even think to close them for you....
2.joe public/customers who park on your hose.....
3.obviously dog muck (although this is not a regular problem i still need to be alert if they have a dog)
4."time waster" customers who insist on chatting to you and slowing you down EVERY MONTH.....(these are usually elderly customers whos prices are a little on the low side that you ve had for 20+ years)
5.customers who put large plants in big heavy ceramic plant pots ON LITTLE STUMPS to keep them off the ground right near their patio doors......
6.customers who let their ivy grow all around their windows and frames making a mess of them.......THEN cut them down and ask you to clean the ivy marks off their frames!
7.customers who put wind chimes RIGHT next to the windows(same for plastic bird trays)
8.customers who have a broken gate for years and start piling bricks behind it to keep it shut.....

1. The ego overlay of some of the comments above - nauseating! 
2. How some of you have turned into the very bosses you wanted to get away from by going self-employed
3. If the tea that customers make you tastes odd they've probably spat in it because they don't like you, and
     who can blame them

If you can't count to five then take a shoe off.

2. . How some of you have turned into the very bosses you wanted to get away from by going self-employed

Well I had a straw poll of my employee and we all voted that I'm the bestest boss I could ever have.
Admittedly I also said I'm a king size a4rs* as a boss but any more of that sort of backchat and there'll be sacking galore.

I don't like anything about it now. It's monotonous. I'll have stopped completely by November hopefully.

1. Weather (Rain/Snow/temps above 22 c and below 10 c 🤭😄

2. Customers; clutter nutters, too much toot in the garden.

Customers with potted plants littered all outside around patio doors conservatories.

3. Texting, the odd customer that makes it complicated i.e   What time? 
Basically having the same conversation about where payment is hidden, key to gate hidden
People that think they are your boss🤯

4. Things that break, usually rectus fittings, occasionally leaks in pole hose/hose
Jets in brush get plant life blocking

Always have a paper clip! For unblocking

5. Hose getting tangled reeling in,
Or hose getting caught on wheelie bins, car tyres
Never yank hose in anger usually a plant pot dies 😬

5.1 😀 dog poo, rarely happens now but just when you thought you were safe
Cat and 🦊 💩😳
