 When I turned 18 (which was in the 90-ies) my father gave me a new computer for my birthday. It was an actual tower computer, it was my second and I was not tech savvy then. So I called one of those small "anykey" computer firms to plug everything where it belonged and move stuff from my old one. The next day a young man came, quickly assembled everything, I paid the fee. And then I naively offered him a cup of tea and a piece of cake that was left over from the day before. 6 comments
To this day I keep asking myself one question. Did I look so ugly, that the mere thought of me possibly flirting with him (which I was not) terrified him to death, or was he gay? 🤔  @wim_v12e Tbh, I've never seen a man who'd think that a random woman would be too good for him. 😁 But then again, back then I didn't realise how my offer of a cake looked like. I honestly was not hinting at anything, I was absolutely not going to harass him! 😆 I like the screwdriver, btw. It's been serving me since that day. 😆 @SeventhMagpie I was very shy as a boy, so I guess there must be more like me. Anyway, you came out ahead: a working computer and a screwdriver. |

The guy went pale, mumbled something about being very busy, and left so fast like his ass was on fire. He even forgot his neat screwdriver on my table.
Since I was an honest young woman, I called his firm and politely told another man who picked the phone, that their serviceman has forgotten a screwdriver at my place.
They promised to tell him to come back and pick it up.
And guess what? I still have it.
