GOT THAT OLD CHESSNUT TODAY WHILE WORKING
« on: April 28, 2011, 09:22:25 pm »
YOU picked a nice day for cleaning windows was what a passing lady said to me today.

I replied yes and I hope Jume 14th is a nice day as well as might clean some more

she actually laughed and said sorry you must get that every summer

funny how no one ever says it in dec / jan / fed / march  or when is persisting down but out pops the sun for a few hours and us window cleaners have it cushty  :D :D :D

I flipping HATE that.

I'ver had that loads of times, once a passerby (not a customer lol) said it to me, and I couldnt help myself.  I said "really?  You think so eh? Do you think I had a choice about what days I work?  This is my business.

Yes I may have PICKED a good day to clean windows, but you also PICKED a good day to be a moron"

I said the last bit under my breath of course!

The art of conversation is dead :)

Of course you could of said " I did, didn't I, shame I don't get paid for weather forecasting.
Do you have a window cleaner, because I can always provide a quote for you......."

I think she was just making friendly conversation ... it's not as irritating as "You're going to make it rain".

When they say you've picked a lovely day to clean windows I just come back with "I take the rough with the smooth madam - it wasn't much fun working back in January!"
It's a game of three halves!
