WTF, they actually wrote several pages?? I made the first page and thought to myself what a crock, probably written by a lonely brood that wishes a contractor would help her live out her fantasy. I'm positive it happens, but by golly it takes two, morally I cannot believe a honest business man would chance it, and I could see a lonely stay at home wife getting frustrated if things at home are'nt ideal in the bedroom and maybe starting out with a flirt that ends up in the sack.

Either way, that article was a good laugh during the lil bit i wasted my time reading LOL!!

I think they make some good points about relationships. Contractors are paid to listen and that is quite alluring to some people.

Kinda weird situation happening with me. Just finished a rec room for a buddy (we used to have a few beers together at the local lounge). So just an aquaitence not really a close friend. Did the job in my spare time meaning lots of evenings and weekends. He's a saleman and works long hours and usually stops for a beer or two every night after work (so gets home a little later and sometimes really late).

Anyway, I was going there after my day's work every day for quite a while and he wasn't there but his fiance was. Got to know her quite well and even sat and had a couple of drinks with her after my work was done for the night. We have a lot in common and get along great. But she's just a buddy (someone I enjoy talking with and vice versa).

I have gone out on a few evenings with them for dinner and drinks, last weekend went to a football game and every time we go out, after he gets a few drinks in him, he starts aqusing her of having "googly eyes" for me. He never says anything to me but stops talking to me. I can ask him a question and he's so mad at me he won't even respond (very awkward).

I don't know if I should just refuse their invitations to dinner and drinks or just sit down with him and tell him nothing is going on. I enjoy those nights out for the most part. He still phones me to meet him for a beer at the lounge and I usually join him and everything is fine. As soon as I join them as a couple and chat with her he gets mad??? I like them both but the tension drives me crazy. Not to mention he still owes me a pretty good sum of money for the work I did (I wouldn't want him to be so mad at me that I won't get paid) !!!

Walk very softly!!!

Oh yea.....walk very softly...... stepping in another mans wheat field will get ya screwed twice.

I think most of us fella's have a little jealous nitch...... it comes with the ego I guess.

If I was you.... I would think twice about my freindship with her .....no matter what goes down, you'll end up the looser.

Bob,
Did you mean to say who goes down?

Revenge

A construction worker comes home just in time to find his wife in bed with another man. He drags the man down the stairs to the garage and puts his willy in a vise, securing it tightly and removing the handle.

Then he picks up a hacksaw and starts walking menacingly towards the man, a huge evil grin on his face. The man, terrified, screams, "Stop! Stop! You're not going to...to...cut it off, are you???!?"

With a wicked gleam in his eye, the husband puts the hacksaw in the man's hand and whispers softly in his ear, "Nope. I'm going to set the garage on fire."
