The Story Continues....

Update:

Oh my gosh, I did not see this coming.

The crazy woman who was so awful has the hots for Gary. She was all over him he said. He convinced her to make her bathtub white and she said, 'Okay'  just like that. After all, I went through with her the day before. Geez.

At 4:05 pm yesterday she called me after he left to ask if he was single.
I told her no because it is just too damn embarrassing for this woman to do this.
I'm saving her the embarrassment of asking Gary out.

Gary called me shortly after to say she was nuts and coming on to him.
I asked him, "Guess who just called about you?"
I was laughing so he knew! He told me the details of what she was doing.
He was so uncomfortable. If I were her I'd just be damned embarrassed.
Gary blushes easily too I can just see his big red face. I reminded him that I put the app Call Control on his new phone. BLOCK HER NOW!

She told Gary she would like to have her other bathroom tile (like wainscotting), sink and tub done so she'll see him soon.  Gary said to me, actually pleading, "Rick's going to that job. Please. She's an older woman and I just felt trapped"

She also apologized for being late at the end to him. Gary felt she was late on purpose and when he said that, I told him I thought the same thing but then after she liked you she must have felt the need to apologize.

He went on, "Man if I hadn't walk away I feared this was going to turn into a Penthouse forum thing when she laid across her bed as I took the venting out of the window.  She put her butt in the air for no apparent reason man except for me to look and I turned away. Ma'am, I kept looking away and at the floor. I couldn't get out of there fast enough" (yes, he says ma'am and sir - raised military)

I assumed she was in her 50's or 60's. Gary is 40 so that is a bit too old for him.
I told Gary maybe she could be your sugar mama. He shuddered. We are all having a good laugh about this. But in all seriousness, this is so wrong to do to anyone. He was so uncomfortable. No one, male or female, should ever be made to feel like this. Man, these women are aggressive. Gary said if a man did this to one of my friends or sisters I'd deck him but I can't hit a woman. After just speaking to her for a couple of days I told him I'd hit her for you.

Gary was back at the office just past 5 and he gave me his paperwork and checks and I handed him some new company T-shirts. As he was walking out the door I said, "Oh and Gary, I think you may wish to take one for the team if she wants all the whole bathroom done."

You guys should have seen the look on his face. Both Rick and I about died laughing. He looked like he was gonna cry if we sent him back there.
"No worries, you aren't going back we'll send Rick and she can have my pot-bellied stallion. Work for you?"  
That made him laugh and relax a bit.
But then I had to ask, "what if she were young and cute?"
He said, "Oh that's easy,  I would have flirted back. Then the next day I would have called her to see if she'd like to go out sometime because I already had her number and I am no longer on your time. 
"Good answer kid."
"What would you guys want me to do in that situation?"
"Just what you said, Gary."

I have no sympathy or patience for people---male or female---who come on to someone who is much younger than they are. Are they delusional? Do they look in the mirror and see someone who is the same age?

Margaret (Peggy or Peg too) said...

Jean, I agree and I do think they are delusional. But it's just wrong and inappropriate to do what she did period when a worker is at your home. I sort of get flirting but still it's a fine line to me. My favorite is the woman the first year who called to ask me if Rick was married. I said yes and then she asked if he was happily married. It's so hard to pretend you just work here so I played along. He called me from the road telling me about her and we still laugh about it all.

Poor Gary with the toothless cougar! Your clients just crack me up!

Margaret (Peggy or Peg too) said...

Brian, I think if you heard stories from others that work in peoples homes you'd hear the same. Or perhaps we just get all the crazies and we're just lucky like that.

I can just imagine! My mom had some guy add a room onto her house and the neighbor was convinced she was having an affair with him lol. Mom was like eck not my type haha.

This is Gary's new theme song. You need to have this cranked up next time he comes over.

Margaret (Peggy or Peg too) said...

Julie, now that's funny.

Mike - :-)

You very wisely prevented her to further embarrass herself, well done!

So wrong on all levels. Poor Gary. Greetings to you.

At least some of these women ARE asking about marriage status. I would imagine some don't care.

Ami said...

Don't be so sure that your round hubby won't be accosted. Hasn't it happened before? I know that *my* round hubby has quite a few stories. Cracks me up.

Best one was a man asking him out.

I have a D-I-L who is mechanically inclined. She can repair anything. One time, I jokingly told her she should be in a repair-type business. She said she would be concerned about going into strangers' homes.

The gender of the aggressor doesn't matter. If it makes the other person uncomfortable, it's wrong.
