Title: Weird people!!!
Post by: Timbuk on 06 September 2006, 21:24:33
I've just been out to do a quote for a job as you do, and yes i do meet some strange people from time to time , hazards of the job, but this one has won first prize by a mile. I was only suposed to be looking at a few kitchen units. I was then shown the rest of the house( why ), the garden ( its raining and dark )  including the newly installed water feature. I was then personally introduced to the dog, the cat, a pug 106 in the garage and a guitar, followed by an invitation for myself and Mrs Timbuk to go round once a week for a glass of wine and some tuition in the art of guitaring :o Sorry, do i know you? TIME TO LEAVE

I used to do residential computer repairs for the company I worked for some years back. The stories I could tell ya!!

Y'd think on the face of it, going to peoples houses to carry out jobs is a fairly safe occupation. Well it ain't!! You really put tourself in the firing line~!!!

I think the wierdest thing that happened to me was getting locked inside a womans house whilst installing her new Pc was quite shocked when she came in with wine and chocolates.

Never went there though as I made my excuses and a few calls to the office then out I went. :)
