We had an eot to clean for a cleaning co. which was miles out in the sticks.
The address was " The White House, Redhill, etc. "
Our tech went to do it but could not find the place. His sat nav did not take him to the house.
 We tried ringing the cleaning co. but they were not answering their phone.
Eventually he found it and the cleaner was not there but the usual arrangement is that they hide a key for us.
Sure enough the key was hidden under the recycling bin so he started work. ( he did say " this place is f*****g huge " )
FOUR hours later the cleaning co. rang to ask if we were still going as no one had turned up yet.
Yep we were at the wrong house.
What are the chances of finding a property close to where you are supposed to be, that was also called The White House, is empty and has a key hidden where it is usually left for us.[/u]
Our tech got directions from the cleaner to the correct property which was 3 miles away and eventually finished at 7 last night.
We have knocked on the wrong door plenty of times but it is the first time we have ever cleaned the wrong house.
Imagine the face of the owner of the first house we cleaned when they return to nice clean carpets and no idea how they got that way.

[Jamie Pearson]

I polished the marble in the reception of the wrong hotel once.

[Ian Gourlay]

Not quite as bad as that but often find you can have white House, white Farm White Barns White Cottages all on same road and yes sat Nav often tells you you have arrived when your house is about another half mile down the road

[Griffus]

Did a builders clean on a wrong apartment once.

At least the embarrassment keeps the frustration / ire at bay!!

Surely a few swear words are the least of the Catholic Church's problems?!

Looking all over for my specs last night, gave up and sat down to watch tele instead, then realised I was wearing them.
