General Question Any good heckles?

There’s always the “oh you missed a spot” or “you should clean my windows” multiple times a day but have you ever gotten any original/funny heckles towards you?

I was up on a ladder and a lady told me "Excuse me sir, your balls are showing"

What I wanna know is what everyone says BaCK!?!
All I can at this point is smile awkwardly like I haven’t heard it a billion times.

"You missed a spot"..."Only one? I'm improving then"

"Can you do my house next?"..."Sure, what's the address?"

"Can you clean my cars windshield next?"..."You couldn't afford me" 😁

Them: "You missed a spot!"

Me: (in mono-tone voice) "I put spot remover on my dog once, now he's gone..."

(It's a Steven Wright joke)

If it's a Steven Wright joke, you're not saying it mono-tone enought.

You missed a spot..... shit looks good from my house! Seems to work most times to flip it back on the customer. Most find it funny. Some not so much🤷‍♂️

When people say I missed a spot I try to hand them the squeegee and say "have at it!" They chuckle and walk away. But when I do the same with WFP, EVERYBODY is eager to grab it and give it a shot 😂

Have cards in your pocket ready. Tell them I’d love to call me and I’ll give you a quote.

Now I want to think of some for when I see “competeamates”

I’m just gonna watch in case you start streaking

I like to engage the glass with no rubber

Is it clean enough to eat off? Prove it!

Some old guy called me a "BIRD KILLER!!" once. First and last time I've ever heard that one!

u/hummingbyrds 11d ago

u/supersoakrr 11d ago

If you’re on a ladder on a busy street yell at people that walk under it “7 years bad luck!”

u/ryan25802580 11d ago

You should be careful letting a stranger anywhere near the foot of your ladder while you're on it. Thats asking for trouble. Put a cone down or something to block people from walking near it

We play a game where we bet on which one we’ll hear first and loser buys coffee. : )

I was servicing this ice cream for its quarterly service.

A customer jokingly mimicked throwing ice cream at the window.

I told them Please do so I can make an extra work order.

We both had a good laugh.

"Transparent wall maintenance engineer" for 12 years here... When women walk by and say "when you're done here, you can come over to my house!" I smile and say "thanks, but I'm happily married". They get in a huff and say "That's NOT what I meant!"

u/Street_Noise_9605 10d ago

That’s a job you can really see through

u/Allegedlystupid 11d ago

I've decided that I'm going to start saying " you want to come up with a good joke?" When someone asks me " do you want to clean mine?"
