to expect the window cleaner NOT to clean the bathroom window while I am in the shower?

Having a shower at 8.20 this morning (so still morning time) and heard scraping and something banging window - ladder! And a minute later the sqwidgee(sp?) thing is wiping the outside of the window - outline of window cleaner at window. WTF?

The window is frosted but no blinds or curtains as we look out onto woodlands so we're not overlooked, but it is frosted bathroom glass. Also the window was slighty open to allow condensation out. Surely, he would have heard me (shower on) and thought, I'll wait till they're finished, but no!

Am i being unreasonable to think this was bang out of order?

You should have pressed your breasts against the window, he would have fallen off the ladder and then you could shower in peace

but do you hang about in your negligee after you've had your shower...

negligee? We prefer au naturale around here...hence why window cleaner was here so early!

WilyFox! Brilliant. If I'd done that he'd be having nightmares for the rest of his life

Hi, you are the reason my bathroom windows go dirty all year around unless I take matters into my own hands. I think you over reacted. And I think many over react and cleaners are leaving the street full of dirty bathroom windows.

Unless you heard him going 'cor blimey missus' whilst loosening his collar, I think you'll be okay.

this sounds like a good plot for a film..think I'd set in the 70s..

May be something like this https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0071357/

This thread is from 2009....

Maybe change window cleaners if you aren't happy with yours, but reviving a 14 year old thread isn't going to do anything.

Thanks for your input. It was worth the wait.
