Our window 'cleaners'
'cleaned'* my upstairs windows despite me forbidding them from going up there.
They got black blobs of water all over my dresser, my walls, and some of my toiletries and trinkets.
I'm putting a pit bull at the foot of the stairs next time.

*smeared blackness and made the windows dirtier. 100% fact and not internet exaggeration.

it's the landlady's house and she gets cross if I criticise the cowboys she has crawling all over my home.
She grew up with servants and tons of 'staff', so she's totally comfortable with having the dirty little bastards walking round her bedrooms, but it makes my skin crawl. And my cat's in there too.
If they were nice men who did a good job it would be different, but they make it worse. I wash my own windows.
I've told her several times "Don't let them do my upstairs!" I hate them coming in at all but I think the kitchen and living room is a fair compromise.
If I tell her about the blobs she'll just go "Well i shall tell them not to do it next time." and look at me like I'm the nuisance. So I'm best to get them alone and say "Don't go up my stairs. Ever."

lazy feckers, they'll be glad of the chance not to do it!

Well that's what you'd think.
But I reckon they're perverts. And stubborn ones at that.

This is true.
Same as butchers.
I expounded my theory on butchers as perves in front of one of the bf's friends the other week. After a while someone else on the table told me his dad was a butcher.
I said "Sorry about that, but they're just cutting us up into succulent rumps and shoulders while they're looking at us..."

EDIT my best mate at primary school, her dad was a windowcleaner and my mum wouldn't have him. He turned out to be a molesterererer.

butchers are grim
there is a restaurant in london where your tables are sort of above the kitchen so you can see them chopping up the cuts of meat.

who would go there?!

Me I would, I'd cut it up if I could
butchery is a fanastic skill to know

They see us all as meat.
I've been getting better at touching raw meat but I don't think I want to. I've been touching sausages and bacon. Still can't touch chicken our red meat. I might stop again and go back to suing two forks to transport bacon to the grill.
Sorry. I know you hate meat, but I hate touching it.
