Title: Bloody window cleaners
Post by: chrisgixer on 06 December 2013, 11:52:34
They don't knock do they.  >:( ::)

I was in bed after a heavy week of 12 hour shifts. Woken by a load of banging and rattling out the front. Wtf? Jump out of bed in nothing but me bollards, pull the curtains only to be greated by a beardy weirdy with a sponge. I nearly shat meself. ;D

If we didn't have net curtains I guess he would have as well, or worse, fallen off the ladder ;D


Luckily the net curtains did their job as I don't think he noticed, or he's seen it all before, one or the other. ;D


Why don't they knock ? ::)

They assume no one is in... ours is much the same, if he knocked to say he was about to do the windows, then we might actually have a chance to close the open ones ::)

Or even pay them. They just put a card through the door and cleared off.

That too... wouldn't be quite so bad but it seems to be random days, so you really never know. Made all the more frustrating because, like you say, they don't knock ::)

We had a window cleaner a few years ago, I left the money with next door as she was in during the day, when the same bird muck was still on the upstairs windows for 3 weeks, He was sacked,
he had the front to complain he wasnt paid too. ;D

Ours just ladder over the locked backed gate. Nothing stops them. Nothing.

Not even when the ladder slid out from under one of them on wet decking. ;D
