is this guy full of it, or is this kind of thing true?

he said that on several occasions, the wife would try to make sexual advances, and this wasn't specific to any home. he said it happened a lot, and he'd often help her fulfill those needs. he'd get paid "extra" for his services.

i'm not sure whether i should believe this guy, because he's a nutcase as it is, but is it true? has anyone had that happen to them? i'm female, so i need a male's perspective on this. :p i've had PC techs come to my place in the past and i have had no desire to ever get in bed with them :disgust:


So you're thinking about getting into the in-home PC repair business?

OMGHI2U!!! ;)

Well, after 20 years in the pizza business, I can assure you that it's a myth.
For a number of years, there was a group of young female customers who flirted regularly and referred to me as "C A"... it was years before I figured out what it meant. (I used to ride my bike (not motorcycle) 100+ miles each week... it was in reference to my build at the time) But... no nookie.

Sound like your partner has been reading too much of a different forum;)

I work in a field where I have to visit homes during the day and I'm no George Clooney but I think I'm ok...

I've never been hit on or anything like that.

Your pal probably talked to a hot woman and blew his story out of proportion. She offered him a Diet Coke and he spooged in his drawers, end of story ;)

My friend told me the same thing...except he was a UPS driver. He told me there was this lady that would always order small stuff and whenever he went to deliver she would be wearing loungerie and they would have sex...I never believed him, but who knows...

I was starting to wonder if I was the only one who had noticed that... it's so sigged.

Watched one too many porn movies.

I did that for 4 years, I'm IMO above average looking, and nothing like that ever happened to me (though in a few cases I would have liked it to :D Closest I got was an exposed boob from a lady who was wearing a robe.)

It could happen


I used to be a JW doing the door to door thing. On one occasion me and my buddy rang the doorbell of a house where a lady opened the door wearing absolutely nothing. We did'nt go in but I think thats the day I gave up religion. :p

By women? Tell us more.

<- PC Tech, have done many in-home jobs over the years. Getting hit on hasn't been an issue. I don't think I'm unattractive, perhaps not fantasy material, etc. In my opinion, if I flirted with the clients instead of acting professional, and doing my job perhaps I'd have stories to talk about, and again perhaps not. I don't know, I don't flirt.

Honestly, I wouldn't put it completely past these lonely women. If they're rich, it's likely their husbands work long hours or are on business trips out of town a lot. And you have to think that they are getting some themselves elsewhere. The women would love some attention / action any chance they get. I'm sure *some* act on it.

Most clients who are wealthy enough to have an independent tech come to their home
look upon them much the same way as they do the person who cleans the pool. Hell,half of em aren't even home.I had many a job were I let myself in and out and my check was waiting for me under the keyboard.They really don't know/don't care about the computer
enough to be hanging around while it's worked on,let alone long enough to rub themselves all over some nerd.

I think your friends masturbatory fantasies are spilling over into the real world.
