That Showed Him 👍
« on: November 01, 2019, 08:04:49 pm »
I clean this stand alone large house. Wife is lovely, husband is ignorant. He will actually walk passed me in the garden and not even look at me. Sooooo, last time I was cleaning he walked passed me and I just stopped cleaning and looked at him. He didn't even look in my direction. I will just add at this point the gardener was there laying a few slabs. Mr Ignorant was telling the gardener that the slabs weren't laid right. I thought to myself, this bloke is a tool and needs teaching a lesson. Aha, Mr Ignorant and the gardener retire to the house for a tea break. Both were wearing walking type boots and they were left on the step. One pair was blue and one pair was brown. I'm there cleaning away trying to think who had what colour boots on. I'm sure Mr Ignorant was wearing the brown boots??? Ah feck it I thought. I decided to fill one of the brown boots with water from my hose. Job done 👍👍. I'm still cleaning away and I doubt myself and I want to know for certain Mr Ignorant was wearing brown boots. I see the gardener and call him over to tell him I think the tractor in the field has a diesel leak. He gets within colour visualisation distance.  He wasn't wearing blue boots 😕
We look at them, they look through them.

Treat it like a practice run - now you know the colour of his boots. And next time you don't have to waste pure water - maybe you could use something cheaper and *ahem* more natural    ;)
The good thing about science is that it's true whether you believe it or not.

how old are you?12? ::)roll ;D

i have a few customers like your describing......wife lovely and husband ignorant and indifferent.......it just reinforces my believe that marriage (over a long period of time) is terrible/miserable for the man in general so i will forever avoid it! ;D

i dont know why your bothered....as long as you get paid in a reasonable amount of time after every clean of course......who cares?

he s obviously got a big chip on his shoulder....his problem, not yours.......i usually humour the wife in front of these types and this usually makes them even more ignorant and miserable! :D :D
price higher/work harder!

Anyone else generally get on better with the wives than the husbands? I have one where the bloke always ignores me despite my best efforts to be polite. The wife is lovely. They are around my age too, so I wonder if he is jealous! Thing is, she really loves him and I do know he's got some great personal qualities, it's just that he hides them from me!

Being diplomatic is being able to tell someone to go to hell in such a way that they look forward to the trip.

I hate bumping into the husbands as in my experience there's a much higher chance of getting told 'not today' or after telling him the price you get an incredulous look and you know he's thinking 'my wife agreed to how much for clean windows 😡'.

And they are usually the ones super-keen to clean the glass themselves and bin you when they find out the price.

Until it comes to the second or third time (usually over 6 months) they have to do it themselves, and wifey has to ask you back.....

How many of us have binned the bin cleaners or moaned at this cost or that!  We're all mostly alike sadly and therefore we hate dealing with most hubbies as we know what their thinking
