...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.

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.

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!!

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

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

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?

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

Yes OP that sounds like a jolly good idea.

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.
