The new guy...

[Zee]

....at the house where you already cleaned for many years ....


Ok let's start this again. When I have a lady customer that I served for years and one day she has a new boyfriend or husband and everything falls apart... .because Mr new guy puts his two cents in the whole deal.

What worked between the lady customer and I, all of a sudden changes because Mr new guy here knows better.

I had this happen a few times now and it really bugs me.

I just want to tell Mr new guy that "sorry, this ain't my first rodeo" sit down and shut up.

I think I lost a regular lady because of the boyfriend that moved in. She was a regular for years with a nice million dollar home and it was always a quick 3-4 hour job for about $800.00. ....until this dumba$$ comes in the picture and questions everything like he knows better (he doesn't BTW)

She had been very happy with everything and even generated a bunch of referrals over the years.... I can't wait for their breakup hhahhahhaaa

Tell him you want to talk to him outside .............on the side of the house.
Then jack him up! TELL HIM YOU WILL COME AT HIM LIKE A SPIDER MONKEY AND BEAT HIS ASS!

And that's all I got to say about that.

In otherwords, you've become the red headed stepchild..lol


Did he clean carpet to work his way through college?

 

[Ed Valentine]

Better yet, you could hire JimMy because once the boyfriend looks at him, he'd run in the the other direction and never come back!

At this point, I'll take any color hair... Actually I take it back. It's easier and more comfortable to not have much hair..


No he didn't do carpet cleaning... He just has the urge to be the man at the house now.

Maybe he's racist.

Lol!!!

He actually see’s Zee as getting some of the Mrs. hard earned cash! And hes trying to renegotiate so he can have more beer money!

Thus proving his worth.

The way I see it with the new man of the house feeling secure and all- If Zee was 8-12 inches shorter, there will be no problem.
Could be spider monkey can take care of that

The guy being some sort of asian and indeed at least 10 inches shorter might lead to that belief.

We really should start some sort of Carpet Cleaners Biker Club and start issuing beatdowns. We can call it, "The Sons of Mikey". I'll show up on a rented Vespa.

I have had similar issues when doing work for husbands/boyfriends who are professionals. You know, Doctor, Lawyer, Engineer.... I have learned how to play their game. When they have to lead the conversation trying to impress you with who THEY are, you just flip it right back around on them.

A typical response of mine would go along the lines of "Since you are a doctor of course you understand ......" They really have no choice but to agree with you. I have used this line countless times on the Mr. when trying to explain something and he tries to make it seem like he knows the cleaning business better than me.

There may be a couple of times over he years that it didn't work, but I sure can't think of any right now.
