  Doesen't it rile you when youve had a good hard slog on the windows and gone collecting and your missis comes in and complains of having a grueler in the "office". Oh it must have been murder sat at that desk all day!

Hi All,


This happened to me at the Royal Military Academy in Sandhurst. (of all places)

I tried the garden gate, it's locked, i felt for the bolt and felt a locked padlock, i pitched the ladder to gate, stood on top of gate to lift ladder over, the gate opens, sending me to floor level in .001 secs, leg goes though rung of ladder, i landed on top of ladder, bucket on a belt tips all down crouch so i looked like i have wet myself.

( i then got stung in the ear twice by wasps at the next house)

Dosen't it annoy you when you get to the top of your ladder, start to clean and then smell the sweet smell of dog muck. You look down to see it on every rung, also your trousers. I think this is the baptism of a true window cleanner.

And the idiot your working with, has cleaned this of with his mop and put it back in the bucket!! Presumably so that you can enjoy the experience as well !!

[texas girl]

You climb up the ladder and are standing on a flat roof, making good progress cleaning when all of a sudden a large gust of wind comes and blows the ladder down.  The building is closed and you have no cell phone.   It is a remote area. This happened to one of my crew last year.  Good thing I was back within an hour to put up the ladder again.

Also so annoying is when you've a full day's work and the kiddie you've employed, who is 17 and a bit, knows it all, has a 'you need me' thing, has a large attack of the Great British Modern Youth Attitude.

Then jobs get behind because of the 'not my job' thing and he gets the sack.

This happened on a Saturday when we were pushed for time anyway. We drove him the 5 miles home (why???) and then that evening his mother phones up and goes nuts at us...............

Texas Girl - nice bike.

I had this happen today, had 2 scrub the ladder before going on the roof rack, ughhhhhhhh!

DOESN'T IT ANNOY YOU WHEN...... a customer says can you do me a favor!! ( I think time is monney) Can you just unblock that down spout, or can you get those nests down. Dust in eyes and hair really starts the day off well. But now I say no problem its a £1 a nest, and watch as they do a quick count, one house I have had 65 on just the front.

[AuRavelling79]

When Roy Harding's customer takes him up on the offer of £1 a nest and expects him to remove a wasps nest!  Bzzzzzz! Ow! Bzzzzzzz! Ow!

[Roy Harding]

Ive been stung by lost of customers in the past, but older uglier and a lot wiser now

Doesn't it annoy you when:  You are trying to tell someone about your pole and how far you can extend it, or how big your hose is, and all they can do is smirk at you
And doesn't it irritate you when; You find yourself smirking back

And try telling someone how you hate it in the mornings when your hose is all stiff and you can't do a thing with it I defy you to try and find a way of describing that without falling victim to the most obscene of inuendo

Texas girl, I agree with Ross, Nice bike, thats a classic frame, great lines, and good to see your tyres are well pumped up too

You get on site, get started on about third window and out they come, can you miss me this time. No problem I dont mind traveling 280 miles to do some windows for nought. Its good practice

[texas girl]

You have been busting your buns all day working on a large job, be it residential or commercial, and you finally get to the last window and it is the worst one to clean; it requires a lot of time, chemicals, and elbow grease.

It seems as though it always works out that way. 

Also, does't it annoy you when you are cleaning a door and all of a sudden 100 people need to use it.

Also, I am glad you like my bike. That was last summer. I have a new one this year; I will be sure to show you all a picture of my new one this spring. I try to keep it in good shape because I like to show it off.

[AuRavelling79]

Doesn't it annoy you when you find out that in America you can get paid for busting buns - no one would pay me to smash up cakes here in England!

[Duke]

a few more of these...and we'll have enough for a calendar....lol..

[rosskesava]

Doesn't it annoy you when your work mate is bursting his bum all day long.

Monday are the worst as he out on the p during the Sunday and has an Indian on the way home.

Yup - we definately need more pictures on this forum.

[texas girl]

Hey Malc!

We always refer to one's "rear'' as "buns". After all there are 2, right? Your "buns" should always be firm, not mushy.

[Duke]

buns  ?...huh...you should try our spotted d i c k  ...now there's juicy mouthfull...

[texas girl]

Duke;

Now there's a topic that brings a smile! I won't even comment on that!  Is there a website high-lighting D I C K? If so, I may want to look!

Gee, I guess it is tangent time again!

Check my profile for intersting website.

Cheers

For the benefit of Texas Girl I think we should point out that Spotted D i c k is actually a real English pudding
Personally, some nice, warm, soft baps, filled with sausage goes down a treat in the winter Or a full breakfast roll, now that really warms me up I'm a regular customer of 'Fatties' this time of year
