  • It Never Fails

    One of my duties at work is washing windows, I actually like washing windows so it's no problem. As soon as I finish though the inevitable moron has to go up to the window and peer in. Not just peer in but mash their grubby hands and face against the window in an effort to see better. Heaven forbid they ask if they can see the room, they just assume that I won't mind cleaning hand prints off a window I had finished cleaning. If this keeps up I have a bottle of Windex and am not afraid to use it.

    When I worked at the movie theater, one of our duties was to clean the concession stand glass and the lobby windows. Without fail, after cleaning the concession stand glass, somebody will come up and get their buttered hands on the glass and we'd have to clean it again. Or someone when people are leaving, they will open the door without using the door handle. Instead they will leave by pushing on the glass, causing a big smear on the door.

      I used to work in the jewelry dept of a catalog showroom. We had several glass display bays of baby and children's jewelry. Which of course attracted Mom and her snot nosed 3 year old. Every day we had to wipe green snot goo off the front of the cases. And you wonder why I never had children?

        that happens to me too, but with clothes. I swear sometimes i will fold the same pile of sweaters only to turn around 5 minutes later, and someone has managed to mangle them all! i understand looking for a particular size, but is it really necessary to throw them ALL over the place, and not put them back, or at least make an attempt?

          i hate the fact SC's fail to realize there are stickers in the middle of the shirt so you can tell what size it is without picking through the pile. Same with pants

            By far the worst was when I would be cleaning the windows, people would see me cleaning the windows, then proceed to shove me out of the way, put their grubby hands on the glass, and open the door. I mean, no "Excuse me" or anything, just shove and go.

            This is why I'm glad I work somewhere where I don't have to wash windows anymore.

              There's always the guy that mistakes the glass wall for a door and runs into it, making a loud thwack noise and leaving his face imprinted on it.

                Yeah, but it's worth the cleaning to see that...

                  Wasn't there an America's Funniest Video that had that happen at something like a car dealership? They cleaned the window next to the door and video taped person after person smack right into the wall.

                      But this can't be anywhere NEAR as annoying as observing you doing windows and piping up with "You can come by my house next...."

                      Do they have ANY idea how awful their lame lines are the fifteen thousandth time?
