to think the window cleaner is rude...

[BeRudeNotTo]

...because when he comes to do my windows he's always got his hands free up and running and has a full on telephone conversation whilst he is cleaning my windows.I was outside working away and i just felt it was really rude of him and i didn't like to hear him gnattering away about SFA in a thick cockney accent talking about boxing and rubbish like that whilst he was cleaning my windows.I think he can eff off next time i don't like him.

Cleaning her windows I mean.

Has this anything to do with your earlier thread and hands free? Has this just generally got your goat today? YADBU you are not his customer and just a strange woman checking up on him, he's no reason to speak to you.

[greeneyed]

Yes OP that sounds like a jolly good idea.

[FlaminNoraImPregnantPanda]

Flamin i don't see why i was being unreasonable while i was trying to have a word with him and he has his hoody up giving me loads of attitude saying sorry mate i'm on the dog and bone.I mean great customer skills i must say.

But you've just said yourself, you're not his customer. YABU

I was responding to your post about "protecting ID... Not anymore after the abuse on here".

Either you have told us this tale in such a bizarre way that most of us have completely misunderstood or your attitude to this person doing his job (that it does appear he's overcharging for) was so uppity that he chose to carry on with his conversation instead of speaking to a rude woman who isn't even his customer.

So - how did you leave it? Did you tell your friend to tell him not to come back because he is overcharging? Or are you more hung up on his etiquette and manners?

oh good - you're going to do the window cleaning yourself then, OP?

[BeRudeNotTo]

But i am helping her out and that is why i was there today because i was helping her out hth .She is very grateful for my support and help .I'm so glad i was there when the rogue trader turned up because now i can do something about it.Great stuff!

[BeRudeNotTo]

No Crikeyblimey you have it completly wrong i have known this person for over 30 years and i don't think i will be stopping to look after a dear old friend now would i.It just don't make sense like your post btw

[missymoomoomee]

I think that she would be doing the vulnerable OAP a favour by not looking out for her any more with her delightful attitude.

BeRudeNotTo

Thank you for proving my point so eloquently

[NigellasGuest]

But even though you are so busy and have loads to do including being ultra-rude on the internet surely you could find the time to help out the vulnerable OAP chum? Shame on you for not getting up on that ladder!!

[Crikeyblimey]

So, you are going to stop looking out for a vulnerable older person because some people on an Internet forum told you that you were being unreasonable after you asked if you were being unreasonable?

Yep - that'll fix everything.

[NigellasGuest]

you could offer to clean your vulnerable friend's windows free of charge? that would get rid of window cleaner and give you something to do

[ChazsBrilliantAttitude]

OP
I'm afraid your name is two words too long.

[BeRudeNotTo]

SavoyCabbage he was a very rude person with a very bad attitude and a rogue trader to boot.Now what else did you want to know ?

.I felt to talk constantly and loudly on a telephone in somebodys property with strangers about is nearly on a par to chatting to somebody on your mobile at a pub table with a group of friends present.It is just generally bad etiquette to talk loudly on a phone in the presence of others or reading a newspaper in a room full of people that you are visiting(not to mention messing about on your mobile) especially when you are on somebody else,s property.

Is this your new point/question?

If so, I don't think your examples are comparable to a window cleaner talking on a telephone. He wasn't there to see you, or rather your vulnerable friend. He was not 'closing himself off to you' he was cracking on with cleaning the windows.

[BeRudeNotTo]

The window cleaner will have agood idea if he's looking in ok missy ?

[missymoomoomee]

Wonder no longer - I'm not trolling, I just think you are now lying to get some sympathy and be told YANBU.
