I've been cleaning carpets for a very long time and one thing has remained constant throughout all this time is one fact.If I turn up at the customers house and there are obvious signs that the people are staunch church goers ie religious posters on the walls, crucifixes and bibles or religious books on the bookshelf then I NEVER GET A CUP OF TEA! Sometimes they will constantly point out to me that they are  "christians" then allow me to work in their home, on a hot summers day for six hours, without ever offering any sort of refreshment.
Has anyone else noticed this sort of behaviour?

[Terry A McDonald]

I find those that erm, shall we say, dont have the cleanest of houses offer me copious amounts of refreshment which I find ever increasingly daft excuses not to except.......I hate to think of the state of the cups when they they live in an unclean house!

I have never noticed that sort of behaviour from "Christians"

It's very rare I don't get offered a drink and when it happens its usually from "posh"  people who think they above making tradesmen a drink.

[mr muzzy]

I get offered a cuppa about 90% of my jobs must be the thing up north

[CleanerCarpets]

dont ever refuse the first offer - even if its when you have just got there and you only had one 10 mins ago before you left - you wont get offered another one - its as though you have given them rights not to offer again!!   

[Mike Halliday]

Damn them Christians

 no tea and they stopped gay people getting married until recently, I think it was a Christian that killed my koi and kicked over my wall

Why oh why can't we be a nation of Jews & Muslims

[edward coller]

I like it a lot, made me guffaw!!!!!!  ive got a customer who when she rings up introduces herself as " BACON BUTTIES OF bLAGDON"0n arrival i have tea and at least 4 bacon roles , stuffed before I start cleaning. Think shes a martian.

Only trouble if it was a nation of Jews & Muslims, would that we would all go bust because they are so tight.
I know it's not the done thing to put people in to stereotypes but I have found most stereotypes to be true!

We have a very large Jewish population around here and I can honestly say they never quibble or try to get the job cheaper,that said I'm not the dearest CC.Now as for the Asians......................................................

One of the first things a veteran carpet cleaner taught me was never refuse the first cuppa, even if you vac it up cos it's minging. Shows that the customer is comfortable with you and you with them. Goes a long way .

I do work for a lot of Jewish people and they always get the tea out and usually home baked stuff it's very sugary and fattening though!

Takes the edge of it when they give you the bill though.

Done a job for a Muslim guy a few years back can't remember if I had tea but when the job was done he asked if I liked curry i said yes and the family sat me at the table and gave me a meal   bloody delicious  right result

Indian complete with spices. Great. Then keema curry with chapattis for lunch with the family.
No wonder I'm a curryholic.
