Those last few posts have brought it home to me what a frightening world we live in today.... very sad.
As a carpet cleaner I work every day in peoples homes very often alone with the lady of the house. I am fully aware that I am in a vunerable position and take great care to avoid any potential awkward situations.
Fortunately my client base is extensive and most of my work is either repeat or recommendation therefore it is less likely that I will find myself in a compromising situation.
The closest I ever got to an embarrassing situation is where I was, I think, propositioned by a very attractive lady. The awful thing is that I didn't recognise the signals or indeed the proposition until much later in the day ...three jobs after in fact.... that was embarrassing part... admitting to myself that I could be so green.
Once I realised everything fell into place
