helpful customers

 

you know the ones

they move all the furniture to the middle of the room or pull on your hoses while working  and they always leave you with not quite enough slack

 

how do you ask these customers to politely F off ?

Theres a few things I do....

if pre-spraying I'll spray them on purpose

if they move all the stuff to the middle before I pre-spray..I'll aks them to move it back while I set up(then I just sit in the van and drink a coke or have a coffee)

if they try and help me pull hose...and it's really bugging me...I'll take a time out...head out to the van and drink a coke or have a coffee, by the time I get back most times they've gone

if it gets really bad and you need a minute to fart... I call the house number so they go running for the phone... or ask for a drink of water...just to get them out of my hair.
