I have allot of clients that are women and at times their view of the "car-wash guy" may change depending on the situation. I've had them call me while having a girls night out or for an "emergency wash" while their significant other is out. I'm married and have to use good communication skills to deny, but not to offend your client/money away. A majority of my business deals are at he beauty salons where girls can let their hair down and tease the car wash guy with R rated comments. So there's a fine line of being professional and falling in a trap that can hurt your business/reputation. I later found out the one of the laddies in fact had an affair with the previous "car wash guy" and he no longer has a business after his name went around, and husbands weren't to fond of him coming around their wives. So just use your best judgment, you may not think so, but people are watching.

where area is this? What places are these? Sound like my sort of customers!
 
HAHA, I can see how some people would be willing to go for this. But your right that it will definitely effect your business if something like that was to ever get out.

Best advice is to always stay as professional as you can.

Sound like the plot out of a playboy mag.
 
Sounds like an excellent oppurtunity to get yourslf killed :nomore:
 
No matter what you do, if you are a fit fellow that comes to a customer's home to offer a service, at some point or another you will be hit on, offered adult favors, etc.

I worked as an ISP installer/service tech for 3 years (while in high school), and adult favors were alluded to or I was commented on several occasions. You just have to be professional and show them you are there to do only what you are being paid to, nothing else.
 
It's definitely a good idea to stay away from those situations if possible. We as humans have a tough time saying no sometimes when something like that is right there within our reach. It's hard to think clearly in those situations.
 
It helps to keep yourself in poor physical condition and not maintain personal hygiene. That's what I've done and I am happy to report that I have never had the problems you guys have. lol
 
After seeing workplace relationships/booty calls go bad and the impact that had I made a rule for myself

"never get your sex where you get your checks"
 
I know this is an auto related site, but I have seen much the same situations while doing landscape construction(not your average lawn job). I noticed most jobs began when the husbands were gone on business for a week. During the week they were gone, the women were out offering coffee and drinks, breakfast in the mornings, wearing revealing clothing, calling in sick to work and staying home to "watch the progress"....etc But, when the husbands get home from their business trips, attitudes changed dramatically, the women would hardly ever come out at all, even to say "good morning". However, I did notice that if we were to show a little interest in them, they would add on extra work to the contract, almost like they just wanted to make sure we still had more work to keep us there. The time I was in that business, I was just helping two other family members, and the projects would be for pretty wealthy people averaging $15k-$125k for each project. Ofcourse, being construction, economy put the company in the gutter for the mean time.

Hey Little OCD,
It's a situation that can escalate real quick, and there's guys out there that have fallen into that, and lost everything. For a single guy it sounds exciting, which it is, but to have a wife and kids it life changing. I don't think 45min of pleasure is worth a life time of regret....
