Sunday is usually the one day people get to have off/relax, i wouldnt want you round at 10 in the morning, nor would the customers!


If the customers are unhappy, they would tell him. He may even have agreed the arrangement with them beforehand. It clearly isn't an issue here as you say it's not the first Sunday you have seen him about.

Many people work Sundays these days, or has a law been passed banning window cleaners  from working on this most sacred day!   ;D

You cant make a judgement cos it didnt suit someone once, these customers are obviously happy with sundays so just let him crack on and not bother you, cos it obviously has but I for one am not sure why....

I'll never work weekends. The odd Saturday morning once in a blue moon if I need the money.

I got much better things to do on a weekend. Life's too short and I got two young kids I don't wanna miss grow up.

And yes I know I'll never be a millionaire.

lots of my customers are out all week and weekends are the only time to catch them in. A lot of poeole don't like leaving the gate open.

Apart from lazyness I have no problem with a Sunday.

i work sunday quite a lot, mostly cleaning new customers as it gives the neighbours a chance to see how i work and more often than not i pick up a few house on that street.

I did 5 jobs today between midday and 2pm.

3 got missed during the week for one reason and another and by not doing them today, it would throw those rounds out of sync in 4 weeks time and the other 2, parking is a doddle on a Sunday but isn't otherwise.

You get to know your customers. There's some I wouldn't do on either a Sat or Sun and some who prefer it. Most couldn't careless but on a Sunday especially, I wouldn't do anyone's windows before about midday unless I know they are early risers.

Just chant..... Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare, Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare. It's beats chanting Tory Tory or Labour Labour.

I often work Sunday or part of a Sunday myself.  Not always though.  Got to give that body and mind a rest sometimes.  When I do so, it's usually commercial work but there are exceptions.  There's one (domestic) job that can't be done in the week as they have counselling clients visiting and wish to preserve confidentiality.  That's no problem as they were up front about it from the outset.  I work it in and do it on the way home from some commercial work.  Also, I have a very few customers who want a very infrequent service but want me to do all the facias etc.  Although very infrequent, due to the quantity of work I do in one visit, it is worth my while.  However, it would be a bit disruptive to my more regular schedule so the deal is that I do them on Sundays - but not in Winter.
Furthermore, if water shortages eventually force me from WFP to ladders, I will be working 7 days again just to keep up.  Desperate?  Well, yes.  What's wrong with being desperate?  I would rather be desperate and doing something about the problem than be desperate and not do anything about it.

Lol some of you are talking like im new to this game. Been doing it since summer holidays in school 12 - 13 years ago and my dad did it ... and my grandad. I can assure you they never did a sunday and nor will i. I could probably teach most of you a thing or two  ;D

Some of you REALLY need to take a chill pill  ;D

Hi Matt,

It was your strong reaction that everyone else reacted to, including me. So if anything its you that needs to take a chill pill.....
