I'll never forget the time blind person gave me instructions for their very off the grid house instructing me to look out for certain trees, abandoned circus vehicles, turtle ponds and splits in the road, and this is back in the Thomas Brothers map days so it actually came in handy, I was amazed at their accuracy

I’ll never forget the time I cleaned a blind man’s carpet. After I finished , he wanted me to go back over a couple of spots. I told him no, and to get his credit card out.

I cleaned for a blind lady and she begged me to sell her my ugly yellow sanitaire because she was hearing it suck up all the dirt her Hoover couldn’t do. Lol

I hate that! If i'm on the phone and ask them their address, they then immediately start yammering out directions. UGH. Sometimes I just put the phone down and go make myself a sandwich.

He’s telling me while I’m typing on this thread.

I told him my GPS will take me there and he’s still rambling.
I had one like that today. I was going from the gentleman's house to his place of business to clean some offices and he gave me directions and told me to make a notes. Since he was 10 inches taller and about 300 lbs heavier, I listened and nodded. Later on, he paid me the cash and said to me: don't give any part of it to Uncle Sam. I didn't know to answer, so I handed him both invoices, said thank you for your business, and left. What a experience.

There's an old money community with a former drill sergeant gate guard. He gives you the exact turn-by-turn direction to get to the house in rapid-fire drill sergeant style. If you don't at least pretend to take notes he makes you run the instructions back at him and ridicules you for any mistakes.

Took awhile to discover his sense of humor.

And don't forget to salute.
