What do you do when there's a Man in your house? - Page 3

Glaucus · 27-11-2009, 06:32

wonder around, clean the kitchen, put washing on. I don't follow them around but I do hover.

Give them a cup of tea, ask if they'd rather that I left them to it and then let them get on with it.

Same here generally. I usually tell them to shout me if they need me, and leave the doors open so I can hear if they need anything. I hate people watching me work so I tend not to do it to other people, unless it's something I'm really interested in and fancy knowing more about.

I'd have to scrutinise her credentials properly.

Then I'd probably blow the dust of the dumb bells and start pumping some iron. Grrrr.

Yeah, drives me nuts when someone stands over me when I work on their PC. I was lucky in our last flat, the letting agents would just give the workmen a spare key and we would come home to fixed stuff!

I'd wonder what happened the night before.

Be friendly

Make them a cuppa, have a quick chat about nothing in particular and then leave them to get on with their job without being a pain.

When they're just about done, I creep behind them and place a hankerchief doused in Chlorophorm around their mouth, holding their neck until they pass out; this allows me to give them a frisk without confrontation to ensure they haven't pinched any pennies from my empty whiskey bottle or eaten any of my biscuits whilst left unattended in the kitchen (I undertake a thorough scanning of garments for any sign of crumbs and/or chocolate). I then simply drag their body into the outside communal bin-store and pop a business card for a local funeral directors in their top-pocket.

p.s. People have mentioned about Fwapping - you lot need to get your brains checked!
