not a stupid question but i got sacked the other week from a customer i had been clenaing a year.

Car was on the drive, which ive never seen before..

cleaned it, 10 mins later text message, "we would like to cancel our window cleaning, you have left them full of water and not dried it off, i wanst aware you had been doing half a job all this time, i thought we were paying for a proper service"

or words to that effect.

needles to say the most annoying question is why havent you dried them off

I think it's probably "What's the stupidest question you've been asked? "

While out cleaning windows I get the odd person come up to me and ask if I clean windows?

Similar, but I've been asked several times if I'm a professional window cleaner. My answer shaking my head, "no, I'm afraid not." Then I wait for them to come back from that one.

I once clarified that by professional I say I'm in the same class professionally with my skill at window cleaning as Wayne Rooney is with football. The only difference between us is that he earns a little more than I do.  But I'm working on that.

A few that annoyed me in the past.

Can you drink that water? " i wouldnt if i was you, not only is it de-ionized but its been sitting in  great big tank for 36hours.

How many properties do you clean a day? " about this much" (using armsoutstreched fully above head)

That water, your ionized water (they never say de-ionized water do they?), what else does it have in it? " well there is alot of h2o in it, and some ions"

Needless to say, if you're going to criticise someone, ensure your own ship is in order.

Me "No, just popped over for a cuppa"

More in the past this question, but:
"is this your full time job?"
and
"what happens in winter, do you stop cleaning?"
