Good for you Steaminpile.............don't get too soft on the elderly..........we all get old, that doesn't give us a free ticket in life, I once had an elderly customer with 5 sons in their 40's plus teenage grandchildren, I was supposed to remove the carpet in her 18x23 living room, when I got there it was full of furniture including an  upright piano and 5 bookcases full of books and video's........I requested 50.00 upfront for a tool I had to rent, left, then called back and said by the way......when will the room be clear to remove the carpet...........she said that was my job, I told her I refuse the job and she lost the 50.00 toward the tool deposit........I got 50 bucks..........she kissed my ass

HAVE NO PITY, TAKE NO CRAP, DON'T BOW DOWN

Fly by Nightrider, you are my hero. Man, stealing from old people!! That is a class act!! I can see why you sold  the all of your commecial janatorial accounts. Who would call back someone to clean even a toilet with an attitude like yours. Telling that old lady to kiss your ass. Class pure and simple. You and the Sears guy from the video would get along fine. I bet his phone is ringing off the hook with people asking him to come over and do some work.

As far as running a Mickey Mouse operation, I wish. You seen where he lives or how much he made last year????

I don't know where you get the idea of moving furniture as "redecorating homes" but then I guess when you live in a trailer, moving a couch and/or chair, is redecorating!

Good post Kelpro, I didn't steal from the old lady, she wasted my time, my gas, and my helpers time (which I pay ) I was in business not to work for free..........she had the option to say Yes the area will be clear in an hour or so..................THAT WAS NOT MY JOB TO CLEAR HER ROOM, UNLESS SHE PAID.

The Sears guy, I can't judge, I don't have all the facts.

As far as people not calling me to clean thier toilets, that was a good thing.............I don't clean toilets

I have to agree with nightrider in this particular instance. Ther ain't no way in hell I'm gonna move all that stuff. If the old lady wants me to move her recliner and clean under it....no problem but moving a whole room of furniture isn't gonna happen. I'll tell her straight out that I don't move furniture without additional charges and that it's much cheaper for her to do it or get her grandkids to do it. I'm not in the furniture moving business...I clean carpets. Each case should be taken one by one but for the most part moving furniture is not in my picture.

I'm positive about the negative...and negative about the positive.

I do sometimes but after reading Night-Riders posts I think I'll stop, you should write a book on marketing & sales Night, send me the first copy so I can be ahead of the game

It is almost worth moving furniture just to see the look on the wife's face when you move the sofa an find the hubby's porn when she is standing right there.

You find a lot of wired thing under the furniture.

A closed mind is like a closed book; just a block of wood

Spruce.........That's a Classic............you have the best reason to move furniture in all the posts here, including mine for not moving it.

If I get back into the business I re-consider my options of moving furniture at no extra cost.
