A carpet cleaner that I know also sold carpet for a local carpet store while he was building his business.

After carpet was installed in a home for a lovely lady, he went to check on the job. (First mistake, why does the salesman have to do this?)

She flirted and he flirted, and then "they broke in" the new carpet.

Later that day she stopped payment on the check. When his boss called to inquire why, she said: "Check with (name excluded). I paid him personally and I consider the transaction paid in full."

Mr.(name excluded) part time carpet cleaner/carpet salesman didn't have the money, and had to take out a loan to pay his boss for the carpet.

His wife found out too. It wasn't pretty.

None of this applies to JB, of course. Its a fun story, but I already know he won't follow up on it.

I figured he is scared shitless.........I would be! :shock:

Well thank you, Martin. Only since you brought me up I would do basically as Jim suggested. Bring up your wife. It is just plain bad form and can get you sued (or shot!) to mess around with customers and/or employees.

PS I was in thousands of wimmens bedrooms over the years and avoided getting put in an embarrassing physical or emotional situation by:

1. Mentioning my great kids/ family/ wife early in the conversation.
2. Wearing a wedding ring at all times.
3. Steering the conversation away from personal subjects and keeping it on a professional level.
4. Maintaining personal space between myself and the customer.
5. This is just one more reason to have two people on a crew if at all possible.

No body's asked for pictures yet?

Steve: You are the Man!!!
That would be the best advise to give under many circumstances!

 

[Greenie]

You did her with the Demon, so you obviously left a wet spot.

It's your duty to return and tend to said spot.






Yea, I think it may be the hubby too...email is a bit suspicious, on the other hand...maybe the plumber and the landscaper were engaging and funny too, and this is just her dating pool.
Jim, as usual, has the best advice.

LOL........well said!





John, if you're thinking about tapping that ass, just do a follow up call whenever you think the hubby won't be around. Was he there when you cleaned? If not, make that time the prime target to drop by the pad. I'm sure you will be able to get a feel, pun intended, as to if it was real or not once you start flirting....umm, I mean talking with her.


No mention about if she was hot....was she? Details, my man, details!

 

[The Preacher]

just go hammer that thing like a 16d nail going into an old pine 2x8. buy us a beer at the hotel bar at MF and give up the details!! :shock:

 

[-JB-]

Let's clarify a lil bit,

-was she good looking? I suppose, I really didn't look at her "that way", but couldn't hold a candle to my D.

-scared shit-less, nah, more like FREAKED THE FU<K OUT! :shock: (Most of you guys have seen me right?)

- would I "tap it " ?
A) someone else's wife? Not in a million years,
long walks on the beach? perhaps. :roll:
2) cheat on my GF or wife, again not gonna happen. Hell Mikey's buddy tried to "hook me up" w/some smoking hot blond at the bar at the last MF in Aptos, a "guaranteed hit", and I couldn't even fathom it, not my cup of tea, I must be a cereal monogamist I guess.

- One man or two men on the cleaning job? Two on that one and he was with me the entire job, he was as surprised as I was at "her" boldness.

-could it be her husband checking on her? Certainly could be but my "intuitiveness" is telling me it's isn't likely, as I know who he is and running a organization the size of his I SERIOUSLY doubt he's worried about his wifey hittin on the service dudes! And even if it is IDGAS, isn't gonna effect my actions one way or another.

I was seriously looking for a good reply, and I think the one from Duckster was great, as was Jim's, i may just combine them both for good measure.

Try replying back that it is as a result of the way your parents raised you, trying to bring a little sunshine in everyone's life. You hope she was satisfied with the service and you look forward to bringing a little joy into the XXXX household in the future. And if she knows anyone else needing your help you look forward to doing the same for them.

Denise (use her name) appreciated her comments as well, and you'll bring her along next time if she's available so that she can meet the person who has helped make you the engaging and funny man that you feel free to be now.

Dear Susan,
As a result of the way my parents raised me, I take a lot of pride in my work, and truly enjoy what I do for a living. My sweetheart, Denise appreciated your comments as well, she has helped me become the engaging and funny man that I feel free to be now. I'm glad you were satisfied with our service and I look forward to bringing a little joy into the XXXX household in the future, also, if you know anyone else needing your help you look forward to doing the same for them.


Thanks guys been fun, and funny!

 

[Jim Pemberton]

Well, there is one "desperate housewife" feeling more than a bit disappointed in Upstate New York this evening.

Good for you John.

:shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:
She responded...

Denise is a very lucky woman. You may be wondering why I was so bold... I am leaving my husband and have started looking at things differently and to be honest..have no clue what the outside world will have instore for me. I normally would not have been so forward.

Thank-you for your kind reply and know that when cleaning my carpets it will be you that I call.

thanks Jim and Duckster for helping come up w/a tactful reply. Seems to have worked. 8)

SH!T, I hope he next house is just as big

 

[truckmount girl]

Good job!

Does your head still fit through the doorways now? :wink:

Take care,
Lisa

 

[Desk Jockey]

Geezzzzz that's too much! :shock:

Is it possible to break up with your girlfriend for a week and .....well....never mind! :mrgreen:

 

[rotovacguy]

Alright, John.....you are STILL in the game!! (just kidding man...I wasn't aware you were married when I first replied)



Anyway, it should make for an interesting story next time you clean for her. I would love to be a fly on the wall there when that happens!!

 

[Greenie]

She was leaping...and you were just the first soft warm spot she hit...be damn glad you had a steady, if your were single it may have gone differently...and never in a good way.

This from the guy who answered "Marty's Porno Shop" when I called this last summer!!! :shock:

 

[Jim Pemberton]

I've met Denise. Its easy to see why John is on such steady ground.

What a terrific woman she is: Bright, outgoing, an engaging personality and very supportive of John at every turn.

I'm not sure if he deserves her, but he's surely smart enough to keep her!

 

[The Asian Sensation]

SHouldve banged her.....Just sayin!!!

 

[Ron Werner]

SH!T[/i], I hope he next house is just as big

She'll probably have the same house. He'll have a different one. You might get two houses next year.

Good thing you stayed away. You'd be the rebound.

 

[-JB-]

HEY NOW!!!!

I'm not sure if he deserves her, but he's surely smart enough to keep her!

 

[Sticky]

why not just reply with a thanks and tell her you look forward to doing more work for her in the future. If she is interested you will be cleaning her couches or something else in her house next week. Still keep it professional and be extremely nice.

2 years ago I had a smoking hot college chic that had me clean her apartment 3 times in one month. I never crossed the line but I was very nice and we ended up getting 2 more jobs out of her....

 

[-JB-]

It was a good ticket already, we did do all the uph, and rugs, well, cept the one. :roll:

 

[Sticky]

well maybe you can clean the mattress then....after you get it dirty...

 

[-JB-]

Sticky, here is the line...


________________________________________________________________________________






here is you. :roll:















nasty

 

[Ron Werner]

well, you can clean the mattress after she gets it dirty. If she's hitting on you and hasn't even left yet, you can bet your profit margin the bed won't stay cold long. Esp if she's got money.

Some women are better kept at a professional distance.

 

[hogjowl]

Actually John, I answered "Paul's Porno Pallace."

 

[Lora Olson]

Sorry Marty...all I heard was "porno" and then you were embarassed when you realized it wasn't John!!
