Call today for an old lady who just wanted a new bulb putting in her oven. It took me all of two minutes and she’d gone upstairs for some cash (the old dears always seem to keep the cash there). She returned with 5 pencils and a pencil sharpener and asked if I would sharpen them so she could do her eyebrows. I’ve been coerced into fitting lightbulbs, fixing tablelamps etc. All part of the service. When I did free callouts one cute old dear used to call me for non-existent faults and when I was leaving she’d say ‘If you’re going back to town could I have a lift’.
Re: Customers unusual requests
If she can’t see to sharpen a pencil then there’s little point in her having a light in the oven. However, it sounds like the pair of you had a night on the town from these various encounters. 😈
Re: Customers unusual requests
Can you tighten my toilet seat please?
Was years ago and I think I did it as old lady, out of the kindness of my heart. Doubt I’d do it these days.
Re: Customers unusual requests
Don’t you just love little old ladies, one once asked me if I could go into her bungalow attic to rescue a trapped bird that had been tweeting away all night.
It was the batteries in her smoke alarm that needed replacing. 😆
Re: Customers unusual requests
Called to fix an Electrolux insight last week. Took the hob off to find a few mouse droppings underneath and the little fella had pulled off the top oven thermostat off the selector switch. She saw the mouse droppings and said “that’s where he has been hiding” and she then proceeded to ask me to help set mouse traps around the house as she was unable to set them herself.
