This thread is starting to sound like a Robin Askwith film
LOL
Wish I had a window cleaner, would need to get a company out with a cherry picker to do mine lol. In one of my old houses though our window cleaner nearly fell off his ladder when my kitten jumped out the window, luckily we were just one up and the cat was fine. I don't remember hiding, think ours mainly came round when I was at work.
We had scaffolding up a few years back for rendering..I kept the blinds shut most of the summer
The one and only time I really hid when the window cleaner was here was when I was sitting on the bog at the time! I leaned over to the wall underneath the window so much (trying to get out of his view) that I was practically hugging it.
I close the curtains but mainly cos the firm seems to send different people each time and we have a lot of computer equipment in one of the rooms - no point in tempting anyone.
Yep, I eventually had to sack my window cleaner. For years he used to come on a Friday, when I was out at work, and that was great because I also don't like sitting there while the window cleaner is staring through the window.
He suddenly then changed his day to Saturday at 8.30 am. This was my one lie-in day and at 8.30am I was always either still in bed, (and I like to leave the curtains open a crack), or in the shower.
I mentioned it and he said he had to come when it suited him, so that was the end of our relationship. God, my windows are FILTHY now.
Gosh, all your window cleaners are so cheap!! I'm way too tight to pay the £20 my local one wants (it's an affluent area of Cheshire, but I'm a Yorkshirewoman - the rain cleans my windows!!). The local gardener wants £15 to do the front and back lawns, and most people around here have him weekly, I spent £80 on a flymo and send hubby out on a Sunday haha
I have however just had the local glass company around about having my windows, french windows and doors replaced, and I went for pilkington self cleaning glass, gawd knows how it works but if it does then joy!!

oh my god, your window cleaner charges £20. He is seriously taking the piss. That's daylight robbery!!!
I was rather drunk the night before and slept in my mates bed with him (he's gay so was a normal thing when I stayed over) In the morning I woke up and saw the window cleaner outside and got a fright as he saw us in our underwear lying on the bed.
It turned out great for my mate though because he hadn't come out to his parents then and his window cleaners wife was friends with his mum.
His mum loved me after that thinking I was his girlfriend.
Just caught a window cleaner's sidekick gawping in the window, probably casing the joint. Gave him an earful the nosy, possibly criminal idiot. I clean my own windows, by the way.
When mine comes round, I go upstairs when he is doing the downstairs windows, then when I hear his ladder and i no he is gonna do upstairs, i then go downstairs. I don't know why but i always feel a bit embarrassed just sitting there watching the telly when my window cleaner is at the window.
Haha! When I was a kid, me and my brothers and sisters would run out of the room when the window cleaner put his ladder up against the house! I can't imagine just sitting there while someone looks in through your window.

Pervert. Not only that, but that's bad customer service!
My girlfriend and I were in bed one afternoon having a good time when the window cleaner showed up. The bedroom curtains were shut so we didn't really worry about him but then the cat jumped on the windowsill and pulled back the curtain and he got an eyeful

I would get self-cleaning glass if I ever need new windows though.
No, we're often naked indoors and we're not ashamed of it, nor worried who sees.
Now, it's £10 for our dormer bungalow, so that's ground and first floor windows, including the patio door.
LOL!!! That's worse than hiding. :-D
Is it now

Hang on, how did you not know the windows were being cleaned? What did he do, clean them without asking you first?

Haha I've done that before.
Mostly I'd only hide if I was getting changed or something like that.
