I don't think I will comment on this topic. As I recall I got myself in trouble at the begining. I think I will just enjoy the posts. The pen is stronger than the sword. And so is a mad 6' carpet cleaner.

Dyna I had the same kind of experience but it was my son. I had him working with me one day and then he disappeared. I couldn't find him any were I was even getting worried about it when it dawned on me to check my car. Sure enough he was fast asleep. I woke him up and he said "the work was to hard and I am tired". Can you believe that. Hey Dyna maybe that was my son who was working for you, he is also 19. Edited by Adwa |

I remember getting rid of a terrible helper. Gave him a couple of bucks for a couple of coffees, he went in to get them, I drove away.

Not funny but here's my story: It was one of my first jobs, I quoted the lady $44.00 over the phone for 2 rooms. I get there do the job and she hands me $13.00. I said no maam I told you $44.00 Her English is not so good so now we have a problem. I told her it cost me more than $13.00 just to get to her damn apartment building. Her daughter was there too and we're all yelling....they were pissed off because I was there less than 1 hour and they think I should me charging like $8.00/hour or some sh*t. After 30 minutes of fighting I took the $13.00 and went home and called the police (Peel Region) The female cop on the phone told me to chalk it up to experience! Man I was so pissed off. One of my buddies later told me I should have pulled the plug on the dirty water tank and told the bitch to keep her money while leaving a nice flood of black water at her doorway. Well call me a moron if you want but like I said I was young and dumb! So laugh away |
