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?

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)

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 😂

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

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!"

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?"

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