Re: Unusual freebies from customers
We did a job for a 6ft 6in 'lady' (she looked like David Walliams and had an adams apple).
When we finished she gave each of us a bottle of perfume. She was kind to us and very polite. Felt quite sorry for her really - We did smell nice afterwards. Beat the hell out of stale biccies and rancid milk we got from one old dear. |
