Aren't some people just plain rude!
« on: September 08, 2014, 05:26:42 pm »
It really riles me when you get someone who is just downright rude for no reason at all.

Just had an old biddy, I'd say by the sounds of her about 65 - 70, call for a quote for a bungalow window clean and her mate over the road would be interested too.

She was quite insistent that the frequency was 8 weekly, although we generally do a 6 weekly cycle, I said we could accomodate her on an 8 weekly if thats what she really wanted.

I said it'd be awkward to give her a firm price over the phone but Id give it a go if she could give me her address.

I couldnt actually locate her exact bungalow, you know how the numbers are blurred out by google, so I said it's not possible and then went on to try to explain that if I said it'd be £50 because its not possible to tell then she'd be out of pocket and ripped off, which isnt something Id want to do.

With that she started ranting down the phone 'Im not paying £50, what do you take me for?"

I said 'You misunderstand, Im not saying it'd be £50 but if I give you a price just over thephone theres too much room for error and its not fair on either party'

She came back with 'Well, even so, £50 is still too much"

'Look you old bat (I didnt say that but i wanted to) - I didnt say it'd be £50, you misunderstand me, Im trying to explain here'

With that she put the phone down on me'


When someone puts the phone down I see red.

So I phoned her back.

I said 'Its the window cleaner you were speaking to a feew minutes ago and Ive just phoned up to try to explain what I was saying'

'No, were not interested' and slammed the phone down again.

Old biddy comes out to me the other day and says, "you have missed that window" (pointing at the downstairs living room window). I said, "i know!". She gave me the death stair, so i had to explain how i had done the window above the one she was pointing at, and had moved on the the velux next to it, then once i had done the velux i would do the front door. By this time the water from the upstairs window would have stopped dripping on to the living room window and so would clean it, last, as always (been doing them about 6 months now!).

I had one the other day. I was doing a first clean on a hair salon. I made the fatal mistake of starting to wipe the frames on a small lower window which I thought was part of the salon, but was actually next door's.

An old lady came out and started ranting at me that she didn't want me cleaning her windows. I apologized to her and tried to explain my mistake, but she went on and on, saying she didn't want me putting anything shiny on her window! I apologized again and said I'd just wipe the window for her. Cue another tirade before she went back indoors.

Another neighbour of hers was walking by at that point and, smiling, said to me that I could clean her windows by mistake any time!

The death stair? Is that the more severe version of the naughty step?  ;D

Send them a 'get well soon' card and a butt plug.

Then when ever you think of them, it'll make you smile knowing they will have been completely puzzled to get that through the post.
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.

Like a birthday card but for someone who is ill.

So if someone is ill and it's their birthday you send them a 'get well soon' card instead of a birthday card?

Get with it Griff and stop re arranging your fridge magnets and listen up.

No, if they're ill on their birthday you send them 'sorry to hear that you're dead' card. It really makes their day.
