A while back, a young (I think he said he was Lithuanian) man offered me a camcorder instead of cash for my services (he didn't mention when booking that he wanted to barter).
When I declined, he proceeded to 'sweeten the deal' by pulling a bottle of cheap plonk out of his rucksack, and offered to throw that in as well.
When I failed to be tempted by his generous offer, he requested credit, he assured me he would definitely bring the money to me the next day...
Today a client ringing for 'details' was a real charmer.
Him: "Is the place clean?"
Me: "Pardon???"
Him " Well is it in Good Order? Are you a Drug Addict"
Me "If you phoned a mechanic to service your car, would you ask them if they were on drugs?"
Him " Er no, but You People"......
