My homophobic window cleaner

    I get the windows of my business premises cleaned every 2 weeks by a man who is probably in his mid-late 30's.

    The second last time he did them, the door was open and I could hear him talking to a guy that had approached him and asked if he could clean his windows in a house around the corner.

    He was very cold, and dismissive to the man and keep saying 'ah I don't really have the time to do them'.

    When he came inside to get paid, he started saying that the reason he didn't say yes to the job was because he thought the guy was gay and would probably try it on with him if he went into the house, also he could offer him a drugged glass of water and rape him?!

    Next time when he was around doing my windows, I was talking to a very 'camp' guy in the office about a charity fundraiser that we were doing.

    When we were finished talking and the guy left, the window cleaner came in to get paid, the first thing he said was 'who was that?' in a really angry tone!

    Then he started on about how ''you can always tell can't ya'', ''it's disgusting'' and all the usual crap homophobs come out with. I just tried to change the subject and pay him.

    He due back this Thursday, part of me wants to tell him to eff off and that my gay brother and I were very offended by his comments!!

    But that is typical of me, I get angry/passionate about something and will always cut off my nose to spite my face.
    I would have to see this man EVERY day around town and he does all my neighbours windows.

    Is it worth saying something to the boll*x? Or just leave it alone?

    Ask him if he'll take a blow job in lieu of payment.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,207 ✭✭✭The King of Moo


    I'd say just leave him, you're probably not going to change his mind unfortunately.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 657 ✭✭✭Sooopie


    Say nothing and get a new window cleaner.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,933 ✭✭✭Logical Fallacy


    Indeed.

    All gay men are attracted to all men everywhere.

    Scientific fact.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 443 ✭✭Colilfc


    Leave it, don't want dirty windows do you?

    Suffer in silence and allow the whole cycle of hate to continue.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 9,425 ✭✭✭FearDark


    He's afraid he'll catch "the ghey"...its only natural shur.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 24,878 ✭✭✭✭arybvtcw0eolkf


    Hard to believe a word of that actually.

    But just in case I'm wrong... Find another window cleaner.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 901 ✭✭✭EL_Loco


    Is he good value, does he do a good job?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,207 ✭✭✭The King of Moo


    Maybe he misheard the guy in your office and thought he was asking him to clean his gutter?

    You get your windows cleaned every two weeks! :eek: money to burn in your place.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,540 ✭✭✭Giselle


    Homophobes, racists, xenophobes and sexists all operate on the assumption that they'll never be challenged.


    Some of them even see the lack of challenge as tacit agreement.

    Tell him to keep his homophobic opinions and theories to himself. If he quits, its down to him.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,084 ✭✭✭✭Stark


    He sounds like a total catch. PM me his number so I can try it on with him.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 9,425 ✭✭✭FearDark


    Try and kiss him OP, problem solved...he wont be back anyway.


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    Tell him you're gay.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,466 ✭✭✭Snakeblood


    Drop trou and press your buttocks up against the opposite side of the window he's cleaning.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,647 ✭✭✭✭El Weirdo

    Yes, and don't forget that it takes all their will power to stop themselves from shoving their cock into the arse of any man they come into contact with.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 19,986 ✭✭✭✭mikemac


    If you fire him he will lose his house and his wife and children will starve

    Don't be heartless OP


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 34,418 ✭✭✭✭hondasam


    Hi is entitled to his opinion even if it is ignorant. If you are that bothered get a new window cleaner and tell him your reasons.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 9,441 ✭✭✭old hippy


    I remember I was in this fancy joint once, all the posh ladies and a few luvvies to boot. One woman in particular got all chatty with me and though she was a good deal older than me, I thought I might give it a go. But the longer she went on - her husband had left her for a black woman, she didn't like the homosexuals etc etc - I got more pissed off. This guy at the bar had been winking at me all evening, so I marched over and snogged him then and there. Needless to say, Eva Braun stormed out and that was that.

    I don't recommed everyone to try this method, mind.

    I think Gal Pal is female. Or so the username would lead me to believe.

    If so, I don't think that strategy is likely to have much effect.

    Offer him a glass of drugged up water then rape him.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,318 ✭✭✭Fishooks12


    When I was reading that story did anyone else picture the window cleaner as Paulie from the Sopranos!?! or just me...

    Next time he comes make you're too ''busy'' to see him and have your brother meet him instead.

    Ensure your brother is wearing a full body leather suit and a gimp mask.

    Hey presto, problem solved, you'll never see the window cleaner again.

    there are no women on the internets.

    Surely it's not that difficult to find another window cleaner op?

    Confessions of a window cleaner's client, the OP is probably remembering an incident they had in the 70s. But just in case, tell him you find his attitude objectionable.

    Your window cleaner is gay.

    Nobody can be that wound up about it if they weren't stiffling the same urges.

    He wants the sensation of a man inside him but grew up in the catholic church era so can't admit it because it's dirty, it's a bit sad really.

    yeah sounds gay to me too


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,230 ✭✭✭✭ejmaztec


    The window cleaner hasn't been the same since he had a pane in the arse.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,980 ✭✭✭Dotrel


    He's probably seen a lot of weird stuff from a career peering thru windows.

    Yeah I would be inclined to agree with you, he's original from England, VERY 'beefed up' looking and tanned.

    Probably not allowed to post this so I'm going to go with the ''I'm new here excuse'' ......

    Anyone who works in Galway that may ring some bells, (so I ain't making it up just to start a thread and feel included in AH!!)

    I rarely look at the names of posters. It's generally like 'AwesomeDude69' so why bother? Besides, you could be the pal of Gals.

    Elton John was married (To a woman).

    Ding dong, It's official.

    He's mad for it, probably has pulled lads on night outs and beat them afterwards because he was ashamed of himself.

    Blatant.

    Ach, so he's bi-curious but just a bit scared of what people might say? Tell him to man up, ffs!
