iHaTePiNk.com! - Weirdo Window Washer Man Returns
oh the blinding pinkness
 
 Tuesday, July 18, 2006
Weirdo window washer man showed up again today. And he actually spoke somewhat clearly today.

Weirdo Window Washer Man: Do you need your windows cleaned for five bucks?
Me: No thank you.
WWWM: Are you SURE you don't need your windows cleaned for four bucks?
Me [ noting immediate discrepancy in price ]: Yes.
WWWM: You remember me right? Do you have my business card? Here, here's my business card.
Me: Yes! No. Thanks.
[ WWWM exits, and 2 seconds later I hear VIP Spa's doorbell ring as he solicits their business. Somehow I doubt that a "spa" with all of their windows blacked out would need them cleaned. ]

His business card:
------------------------------------------------------
Bonded Residential, Commercial


Philadelphia City of Brotherly Love
Window Cleaning Service (Will Not Use Large Ladders)


Phillips Rasbach   (832) xxx-xxxx
------------------------------------------------------

I'm so confused by his card. Am I missing something and being overly mean to someone who I should be nicer to?

I don't even know what the "bonded" thing means.

What I mean is ... "Philadelphia City of Brotherly Love" ... I'm wondering if he's mentally retarded or has some other mental disorder. At least I ought to compensate for his weird behavior is this is the case.

But if he's just a weirdo, I'm afraid I don't have much sympathy. I know, I shouldn't discriminate, but he really creeps me the hell out!

bonded means if he breaks anything on your property he can pay for it. And if he's offh is rocker like that, he's probably NOT bonded. Any yahoo can say they are bonded. Follow your instincts - if you don't like him, throw him out. :)

The big question is, are the windows dirty? I thought you had another guy who did that for you... You could say you've already got a relationship with another window cleaner...

Be careful, or this might end up in an all-out window washer territorial dispute where one of those guys might end up washing windows with the fishes.

mentally retarded does not mean mental disorder. I guess they don't teach that in TCM school nor in Houston.
Fucked up in the head

This has got to be the weirdest, most random conglomerate of comments I've ever gotten for a post ...

timothy: glad you checked back! find a way to contact you through your website, i couldn't! :)

Thanks for the definition, annie.

Eddy: Yeah, we do have another dude who asks us if we want our windows cleaned from time to time. You know, the windows don't LOOK dirty, but they look super clean by the time he gets done with 'em.

Jason: you're showing your New York colors there. Hahahah! :)
