Ever date a customer?

[Micky 32]

2 Months to find out she psycho??? Wow!

Takes most of us 10+ years of marriage :rotfl:

Psycho? I do not understand.

Was she :-

A Psychoanalyst ? 😕
Psychodelic ? :colour:
A Psychologist ? ❓
Psychopathic ? :taz:
Psychoprophylaxic ? :happy:
Psychosomatic ? :look:
A Psychotherapist ? :stir:
Psychotic ? :bang:
or into Psychological Warfare ? :angry4:

There are some big differences here. Psychodelic seems good to me but I suppose it should as I was in my teens during the 60s. 😆

Re: Ever date a customer?

My story is a lot more bizarre. About 6 years ago I went to a cooker repair in Elgin. As usual, had a chat with the lady customer but nothing more than that. A year or so later I had a strange phone call from a woman asking me a few personal questions. I thought she must be some sort of crank and got rid of her. Another year or so went by and what I now realise was the same woman rang again. This time she told me I had repaired her cooker and she wanted to know if I remembered her. She mentioned her address and I remembered doing a job in that street but admitted I didn’t remember her herself. I thought she was going to ask me to do another job so was surprised when she ended the call at that point.
Another year or so went by and the same woman rang again. This time she explained that when I had visited her for the cooker job she had been attracted to me and had been thinking about me ever since. She was married but getting a divorce. She asked if she could write to me so we could get to know more about each other. I agreed but suggested we use email rather than post. This went on for a few weeks until I happened to make some minor criticism of something she had said. She hit the roof at that and called me all sorts of things, including an alcoholic :rolls: That was enough for me and I told her I didn’t want anything to do with her. Initially she seemed to accept this and said she would not bother me again.
This did not last long before she was emailing me again every day, pleading for forgiveness etc. I blocked her email address and didn’t hear again for some months. Since then she has still pestered me, mainly by sending cards and letters but she has also turned up at the house a couple of times and phoned a couple of times. At one point she saw a Vincent motorcycle in a local antique shop on sale for £25,000 and she offered to buy it for me as a present 8O. She had now got her divorce and they had sold the house so she had cash in the bank. I told her not to be so stupid as she would need every penny she had to buy another place.
I don’t think she ever did buy another property but she seems to be renting a place in Fochabers, just 3 miles from me. Perhaps she thinks we will get together and she can move in with me. She sounds increasingly troubled in her letters and I do feel sorry for her but I dare not express this as it would be misinterpreted. I can’t reply to her letters as I don’t know her address but she did give her phone number in one of them. I don’t really know what to do but I’m thinking of going to Social Services to see if they can do anything. She clearly has mental health problems but I’m not sure if she can be offered help unless she seeks it herself.

Blimey Phidom your post is a tricky one to answer at least, almost requires an ‘Agony Aunt’ reply at best really? 😕

All I can say, personally from reading your take on the matter is that it appears the feelings aren’t in any way mutual? And that being the case a strong and meaningful word directly in her earlobe might be the next step? Tell her your take on the matter up front and put the ball in her court. If she then continues the ‘apparent stalking’ of you, then and only then should you report her firstly to the Police and let them deal with the matter.

I hope that helps? And if I have misinterpreted anything from your post, then do please accept my apologies!….OK?

Wow phidom, a genuine bunny boiler methinks.. 😯 I would be thinking along the lines of police intervention if it continues.

I guess most of us who have been in the trade a long time have had one or two “offers”, we do deal with women mostly i guess, some of whom are a wee bit frisky 😉

I think my most memorable one was an old bird (seventy at least) who called me to look at her washer & proceeded to tell me how lonely she felt since her divorce 5 years ago, how she missed a man in her bed, etc, etc.

Getting no response from me, she then came over to the machine (hpt 95) & pretended to express an interest in the brush change i was doing.
This allowed her to rub her breast against my arm (i kid you not ! :eeek: )

I completed the quickest brush change in my career that day i think ! I mean, i may have been flattered had she been 30 or 40 years younger, but the cute ones are never bloody interested !! :rolls:

I started doing this job from the age of 23 (Indesit/RHL is what they used to be called). I’m now 46.
I don’t think people would believe some of the offers I’ve had when I was younger, and even more unbelievable is the type of people they were and some of the situations. 😯

Nothing surprises me anymore.

One day I’ll get up the courage to write some of them down.

😀 I sense the likelihood of a sequel to the successful 1970’s movie series perhaps? : –

I’d advise against mixing business with pleasure,
especially where dangerous voltages & moisture are present… 😆

Yea and a chance for picking the wrong tool for the job 😆
