Not today I'm decorating the bedroom.
Not today - i haven't done the insides yet.
Not today - you stuck all my windows shut with that stuff you put in the water!
Don't come back - you made my garden furniture wet
Not today - you filled my double glazing units up last time.
Not today - i've got an old radiator down the side
Not today it's Christmas week
Not today - i've got friends coming round.
Not today - they are still clean

All genuine.

Some of the above plus:-

Miss out that window - my son's home from university and still asleep (this when I'm wfp and at 2pm!).
I've just paid for the vet's bill and can't afford it. (On a two-monthly £7 job a few years ago)
Can you come back in a couple of hours I'm eating my lunch?

And the best? (Or worst) When helping a mate out with his round:-

"You've got the wrong house!" - and the guy is a naturist, stood there in a panama hat, open toed sandals and todger on display.

If someone said any of those, i wouldn't go back.

My words would be "you cant be serious?"

I prefer the possible real excuses.. "sorry i cant afford it"..

understandable, and nothing you can say really.

[rich fraser]

Today i had

"Not today - someones having an extension built down the road"

[LWC]

Other day, she was cancelling so its kinda different

"We no longer want you to to the winrdows anymore as we feel that we would like someone to do it by hand because we have a private house"

....a private house...what...it was a big good one...but a private house?

I've had
"The weather forecast says it's going to rain hard tomorrow" (it was a sunny afternoon but the forecast was actually correct).
"We are having our tea"
"She's not in"

All dumped.

Oh yeah.  There was one in a town a few miles away who cancelled because they wanted a "local" window cleaner.  I had been living in the same town but moved away (just 8 miles).  It reminded me of a comedy sketch on a program whose name escapes me (some odd couple who ran a shop and used to bump off visitors to the area).
