Email funnies... but seriously??

Email funnies... but seriously??

So last night I came online when I got home from work and read my emails. One email was one of those “WTF!!! Have you completely lost your mind or have you ever had one???”

The gist of the email is that he is looking for a place to stay while he is in the city to work for five weeks. Now I have never even so much as heard of this guy before this email. I have not chatted with him or even seen him in our local chat room. I have not met him at any of the parties or coffee meets I have attended in the last couple of years. And I have met quite a few people. Would I allow them to stay in my house while they were in town for five weeks work? That would depend on a LOT of things. How well I know and trust him or her is one the top of that list. Other conditions would also apply.

So to be polite, I responded and gave him a list of hotels in the area of where he would be working. I also informed him that I only had a one bedroom apartment and would not be comfortable with having someone I didn’t know sharing my space for that length of time. His response was the one which made me shake my head more than twice and ended all further communication. He pointed out that he was not looking for a hotel and that I only had a one bedroom apartment would be fine with him.

Now I will say that I have met a few people from this site who I would allow in my home, and some I would allow to stay for a while, if needed. Probably not for five weeks, but a week, maybe.

I have, on a couple of occasions, left my door unlocked and allowed someone to enter while I was not home. Now that would be a VERY VERY rare occasion. There are maybe three or four I would not have any issue with allowing that scenario to happen. I have known each a while (more than a year) and have met them on multiple occasions and trust the individual(s).

Would you allow anyone you know from here access to your home like that?

 Only a very select few. Still say you should have given him the address to the regional landfill
Drop in and visit my blog sometime, but you'll probably regret it

I actually think the police station would have been better had the address not had the word police in it. Then again, he probably would not have figured it out.

 I think I'd send him the address of the local humane society.

Hmmmm....I know I left that wand around here somewhere!

I am not certain where that is either. OMG I really have to learn where places are in this city. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.

 I would not let anyone stay in my home, unless I have known them for years, I mean many years, this guy do not want to spend money or he just want a new place to live, those five weeks might turn into 6 months of free rent , but really, do he think you are going to let a stranger stay at your home?


redhotfun4you2 replies on 9/22/2016 9:17 pm:
He could have been five or six weeks, the job he was coming to do doesn't last much longer than that. However, I still would not allow someone I don't know to even know where I live. They may know what end of the city I live, and maybe a little about the area; they don't know my address though. Very few know that.

 Absolutely not. He sounds like a real "winner" for sure.

He won the "Loser of the Day" prize for certain. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.

 Are you sure you don't want to reconsider? It sounds to me he has one helluva set of balls on him. Lol might be worth seeing. Keep the weirdos at arms lengths and stay safe.


redhotfun4you2 replies on 9/22/2016 10:41 pm:
Oh but I kick balls... usually not on purpose, however, in this case??? I do try to keep the weirdos at arms length even further if possible. I don't need to see his balls... better safe than sorry. Thanks for stopping by and commenting

Sometimes the emails are good for a laugh or two. Some are just shake my head and laugh because there just are no words to say. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
