A old lady client trying to explain to me why the spots where her cat hacks up hair balls is stained orange to red.
See the cat is orange, so the carpet is stained because of the color from the cats hair.

I tried to explain it could be dyes in the food, or the medication the cat was on.

Nope, the red was from the cats hair color.

:roll:

see what i would have done there would have been to see the cat medication,,eat say twelve for scenetific testing and when it kicks it play with the red glowing sunny red spot

I was wanding a living area next to the tiled kitchen when the homeowner lady need to pass from the presprayed living roon to the kitchen. She saw that I had cleaned a few feet so she jumped over the wand marks and hit the tile floors with wet slippery feet.
Here feet flew up from underneath her and she demolished the Video rack ....vcr tapes went everywhere...it reminded me of bowling. Strike!

I was trying to get the words out "be careul it's slippery" but she was too fast....

So as I'm crapping my pantes she's composing herself and laughing pretty good. I help her up and she called herself stoopid...I held back some on the response. lol.

As she jumped it was like slow motion...I think we both saw our lives flash before us.

I'm just glad she was cool about it.

one client of mine really loved the deodorizer that we use, she said it really brought a nice tingle to her noise. i was very pleased that she was impressed with it. suddenly she sneezed and past gas simultaneously, then turned tomato red. we both chuckled and went our separate ways. lol her excuse was allergies from not dusting....

yeah right....

Used to have an anti-microbial called Sylgard. You mixed a little bottle with a gallon of water. The mixed formula was in a gallon milk jug style container.

Husband comes in, sees the jug on the table and says, "Someone left the Spring water out." He then proceeds to take a big swallow before anyone could tell him it was not water.'

After some time at the nearest medical clinic, he was alright.

Custy wanted me to only clean the spots in the basement. I told her it would probably not match. She insisted that the carpet was clean and that it would be fine.

Call the next day - "you bleached my carpet"

Came by looked at the spots and told her it was because the carpet was dirty in the area I didn't clean.

"nope, you bleached it."

I tried to explain it again. She got a little irritated.

"your going to have to buy me new carpet if you can't dye it to match."

So, I cleaned her whole basement - "bleach spots" gone. She still thinks i bleached the spots and dyed them to match.

Some people.
To match.
