To think that this is NOT a god way to sell your services?

Knock at the door. Chap is standing there in shorts and flip-flops. "We're working in the area with our power-washer...." then starts pointing out moss etc in the driveway that he can clear. All the time he had a lit cigarette in his hand.

I said no thanks. So he take a draw on his cigarette and blowing the smoke into my porch he asks about my neighbours. Then off he goes to knock at their doors leaving his truck and power-washer in my drive.

FFS. Get a shirt on, leave your cigarette in the car, and park your truck somewhere else.

Ewww. Topless men my summer bugbear.

The cigarette absolutely would have put me off.

They are con men anyway.

We have a bloke that comes round selling fish with a cig in his hand. Thankfully he's fully clothed though

Smoked fish mum?

sparkling

Not great, no. We get lots of men round here offering to clear the front yard of weeds and rubbish for £5. I took one up on it once and he did an amazing job, but he wasn't half a scruffy bugger. Not sure what my point is really, I'm not well and have self-medicated with far too many energy drinks.

Meh. Our window cleaners are well known and obvious heroin addicts.

At least they're working for their next hit. They're normally topless and are not often seen without a fag, in fact the only time I've seen them all without a fag in their mouth at the same time is the time they were asking if they could buy a 'loosey' from me

They do a good enough job.

What's a Loosey?

A loose cigarette. He offered me 50p. They only used to be 20p when I bought them

I had one come around about pressure washing our driveway once. He wanted to charge me £180, for a drive that is one car length long. I didn't take him up on his kind offer.
