Should have seen that coming

Received a call at 8:30 last night for a quote on window cleaning. Okay, late but what the heck. We agree to meet at noon. I get there and she is a Psychic. …Let it go, just let it go…
She only want’s 7 windows done inside and out; silicone and a little paint on the windows but not too bad. I say $70 inside out and I’ll clean all of the junk from the glass. She says - oh no, I was thinking like $20. I’m thinking, you mean you didn’t see this coming?

At least I got my chuckle for the day :slight_smile:

$70 ?

No service minimum?

Should have asked her if she sees her windows being cleaned in the near future.

And my minimum depends on location. Time is money my friend!

It is all of maybe 5 to 7 minutes from my home. At that distance pretty much on the way to where ever. Figuring that I could do those quickly enough and be on my way - $70 is a good way to start the day. No worries, but $20, I chuckled out loud and couldn’t help myself. Might not have been professional, but come on!

I love when people think it’s going to be like $50 for their entire home. Even gutter cleaning, some people look at me like I’ve got 3 heads and 2 of them made out with their dad against his will… My bad I just do this as a hobby, not trying to run a business or anything.

Yea, I know. And she called after 8:30 p.m. I almost let it go to voicemail as I didn’t recognize the number, but the phone was right next to me.When I told her the price and she balked at it, just for grins I said “what can you budget?” That’s when she said “I was thinking around $20.” I laughed and we parted ways. :-/

How old was the lady? It seems to be most people who think it only costs only $2-3 to clean a window are people who had it done 40 years ago.

Early 50’s, maybe late 40’s?

I called a friend of mine back in college and his answering machine answered “You have reached the chicano psychic hotline. We know who you are and we know what you want. At the beep, please hang up.”
