"Remember the other other month when I said how I scratched that car in the car park at one of my daughters classes and I left a note for them to contact me? Anyway they were happy for me to pay for the work and not go through insurance as it was just a body work scratch. I contacted a national company that did mobile body work repairs and they allocated the job to a guy in my local area. I had the quote, was happy for him to do the persons car but told him (beforehand) that I didn't get paid till a certain date (he said he'd do it and get paid later) It was £180 with vat and I'd met him in town after he'd done the job and had the invoice off him (just briefly, was whilst my daughter was in her class and I was in town waiting for her) Now I was text again yesterday that's why I'm bringing it up again. Just want people's thoughts and opinions and if I should do anything about it really. Now this is nothing to do with the site so no airing dirty washing or anything, my friend reckons I should report him but we're a bit more liberal on here. Anyway these are the messages, I'll copy and paste them.. This is the first one, you tell me what you think he's implying. Hiya ****, hope you are ok? Look, I've been worried about the bill for ****** car .... I don't know if there's any other way of paying it back without taking money off you, as I feel awful taking your money. Let me know if you can think of anything. ******. Now I text him back saying don't worry I'll pay you. I then had this text Tell you what ... If you can come up with £100 I'll let you off the rest .... Lemme know yea? **** I text back ok yeah sound. I'd already been given his sort code and account number and 2 days after the day I paid him back (via direct transfer) he text saying hi can you give anything, I said I've done it check your bank, I then had this text message ***** you're a diamond .... Thanks very much, you won't be hearing from me anymore ... unless you want to of course. Xx ?? I didn't answer. I then had this text yesterday Hi **** .... How r u doing .... I was just wondering if I could make up for having to take money off you .... Would you let me take you out one night? I dunno, a meal or film something like that? Xx just let me know ... ?? Now I'm thinking has me on here or something and that's why he thinks it's appropriate to say all he has. I messaged him back yesterday saying I paid for a service, I don't ask the cashiers in Asda if I can take them out, I find this really appropriate if I'm honest. He text back.. appologies with kisses and one of those blow kiss emoji things. Is he a chancer or what. It was a national company do I say something to the company about him? " Think he's a chancer trying to engineer a situation where you'll "offer" an alternative way to pay for the work. He's seen too many old porn scenes. I wouldn't suspect he knows you're on here. | |||

"Block his number " I have now but after he said I won't hear from him again and he's been paid I didn't think he'd need to contact me again. I'm not worried about myself, just thinking is there a guy out there who possibly sensed my vulnerability (in the sense that I said I was skint till pay day) and used that for ulterior motives. The message where he said can you think of any other way to pay him! | |||

I genuinely think he would have properly hinted at it, if he knew. My guess? He's a sleaze, fancied you and tried to take advantage of you being a single mother by hinting you could pay in kind. What a tool | |||

Did you offer him a pee cock hold too? | |||

"It's bloody cheeky though. The can you think of another way to pay. Feel insulted he thought it was acceptable to ask me something like that. Like how that guy felt yesterday when he said his neighbour told him he'd stolen someones knickers off the line. It's like why did he think it was acceptable to treat me like a prostitute. " Or he actually genuinly fancies you... you have a hell of a figure... x | |||

"Ignore his texts. Simples" I have. The thread is asking opinions on whether I should report him to the national company he works for as I believe his behaviour was inappropriate. I'm not worrying about how to handle him. | |||

"If I'd fancied him I still would have paid him. My sex and blow jobs are free and yeah off the back of that one brief interaction I may have gone on a date with him (if he hadn't propositioned me) He doesn't know where I live because he did the work on a strangers car at their home address and I met him in town to get the invoice off him so he doesn't know where I live. " So, just forget about him. | |||

"Hi Miss Wilkes, Here are our thoughts. Should he have inferred that there would be 'another way to pay'? No, so let's get that out of the way first and well done for taking responsibility for the damage in the first instance. Beyond that ... you are clearly a very attractive lady and you would be surprised at how many people hook up with customers from a retail background. As someone else has said he is clearly hitting on you and trying to see if he can get a date using the 'discount' as a ruse to help tempt you (as you say, making you feel like you owe him). If you have now blocked him then we would leave it at that unless he tries to contact you again via other means (in person, tel or email). Take it as a compliment but think of it this way would you feel as annoyed if he was your ideal man/lady?? In summary ... he is going about it all wrong but it sounds like he fancies you and wanted a date. You don't feel the same and sensibly have blocked him. We would leave it there." I agree with this | |||

"could be he just fancies you and trying his luck - but if it a national co. how come he could alter the amount of the bill - that would be questioned back at the office surely ? - if you want to cover yourself maybe pay the rest of the bill and thats an end to it" The invoice said £178 and so much pence as well so I dunno how he sahved it down to £100. I still have the messages and everyone I've shown have said that one where he said he feels bad taking my money and if I can think of another way to pay him, was inappropriate. I've blocked him so he won't be getting a penny off me. | |||

He or his company may come after you for the rest of the money. Be ready to show them the texts. | |||

"As a bloke, if a woman asked me if there was another way I could pay I'd automatically assume she was talking about me moving her fridge or something. I guess the guy probably was angling either at a date or sex. So, although the words aren't themselves inappropriate... it's probably right that he was angling in on something inappropriate. But it is also a bit sad to see how women think about such "innocent" suggestions. It seems we're unlikely to revert to a bartering economy any time soon. " So you think women should use sex as payment? | |||

So you think women should use sex as payment?" If they are ok with it. Is it anyone else's business? | |||

"As a bloke, if a woman asked me if there was another way I could pay I'd automatically assume she was talking about me moving her fridge or something.

But it is also a bit sad to see how women think about such "innocent" suggestions. It seems we're unlikely to revert to a bartering economy any time soon. So you think women should use sex as payment?" No. Did you read my post? The question "how would you like to pay me back?" is central to any barter economy. My point was I don't know which is sadder... that a woman assumes a guy is asking for sex by saying this... or that she's probably right. Both a bit depressing really. | |||

I didn't read their comment like that - bartering as in 'make him a chicken casserole, help him fix his car' kind of bartering lol I don't think it's that big an issue, I've had those kind of comments a few times and rolled my eyes. Made them internally to myself a few times too when it's been a particularly tasty delivery guy or window cleaner etc - difference being I remember to use my inside voice | |||

"He reduced the bill, took a chance with you and you didn't take him up on it. He's now asked you on a date after you were happy to pay less than 60% of the original quote. If you think he's behaved inappropriately pay up what you owe him and report him to his company. If you're not prepared to do that, you haven't really got the right to moan about him hitting on you " Rational like this is soooo sexy! | |||

"Ignore his texts. Simples I have. The thread is asking opinions on whether I should report him to the national company he works for as I believe his behaviour was inappropriate. I'm not worrying about how to handle him. The inappropriate behaviour started when he dropped the bill, did you think to report him then?" The inappropriate behaviour started when he first text me saying he feels bad taking my money and if I can think of another way to pay him instead. I think when I responded to him saying, I will pay you cash when I get paid, I think that's when HE panicked and knew his message was inappropriate and THEN he messaged saying he'll drop the price. At that point I had already been insulted by him thinking I would give him sex instead of paying him so I thought fuck it I will only pay you £100 now. | |||

I was gonna jokingly message back asking if he wanted his grass cut or some home baked cookies but £180 bill though?

"Remember the other other month when I said how I scratched that car in the car park at one of my daughters classes and I left a note for them to contact me? Anyway they were happy for me to pay for the work and not go through insurance as it was just a body work scratch. I contacted a national company that did mobile body work repairs and they allocated the job to a guy in my local area. I had the quote, was happy for him to do the persons car but told him (beforehand) that I didn't get paid till a certain date (he said he'd do it and get paid later) It was £180 with vat and I'd met him in town after he'd done the job and had the invoice off him (just briefly, was whilst my daughter was in her class and I was in town waiting for her) Now I was text again yesterday that's why I'm bringing it up again. Just want people's thoughts and opinions and if I should do anything about it really. Now this is nothing to do with the site so no airing dirty washing or anything, my friend reckons I should report him but we're a bit more liberal on here.

Look, I've been worried about the bill for ****** car .... I don't know if there's any other way of paying it back without taking money off you, as I feel awful taking your money.

I'd already been given his sort code and account number and 2 days after the day I paid him back (via direct transfer) he text saying hi can you give anything, I said I've done it check your bank, I then had this text message ***** you're a diamond ....

Now I'm thinking has me on here or something and that's why he thinks it's appropriate to say all he has. I messaged him back yesterday saying I paid for a service, I don't ask the cashiers in Asda if I can take them out, I find this really appropriate if I'm honest. He text back.. appologies with kisses and one of those blow kiss emoji things. Is he a chancer or what. It was a national company do I say something to the company about him?

"You paid less. Just as guilty as him . Drama isn't an attractive thing. " Drama isn't an attractive thing? Drama isn't an attractive thing, I've read it twice and the sentence doesn't make sense, I know what you're trying to say though. Right the full jist of it, contacted a national number and they must've acted as a broker of some kind, they passed my details to someone in my local area that did on on the spot body repairs. I received a call from the guy and I explained the situation, said I'd scratched a parked 3rd party vehicle and the owners are happy not to go through insurance and let me pay for the repairs. I wanted an on the spot repair so as not to inconvienience the car owner with having to take it to a garage etc (thought I was doing the best I couldn't considering it was my fault) I was in touch with the car owners and they were happy for him to go to their address to check the car to see how much it would be, these are people who have kids in my daughters drama school, I know them by sight and they were decent people, I explained that however much it was I didn't get paid till the end of the month, they said no rush it's no mechanical damage. The repair guy had text me with the quote and I accepted it as I just wanted the car done, I asked when and he said he's fully booked the next 3 weeks and I said good cos I don't get paid till the end of the month anyway. He said I can drop the paperwork to you later I said I'm actually in town now (I knew the car owners property wasn't far away) he said I'll bring it over to you. I had the invoice and actually gave him 40 quid there and then and he write on the invoice with biro the new amount owed £137 and so much pence. It was a day after he did the repair that I had the message saying he feels bad taking my money and I feel I could think of any other way, it was only a few days away till I got paid. I thought oooh cheeky fucker I don't like this and showed everyone the message and everyone agreed that it was creepy, my mother even asked if she wanted money to pay him there and then to get rid of him. I thought no no, he's tucked himself up by here and I wouldn't have paid fuck all, would've just reported him there and then, but I said no no I'll pay you in cash as agreed when I get my pay. It was then that he said oh call it £100 then, I said yeah ok sound and asked for his bank details as I didn't want to meet him in person again. I'd paid him the 100 and 2 days after that he messaged asking if I had anything for him, I said I've paid it check your bank account. That's when he sent the message saying I won't hear off him again unless I want to. I ignored that message and then had that message yesterday asking if he could take me out or watch a DVD as he feels bad taking my money. Right I dunno how that can be twisted in a way that makes me as bad as him, yeah I would've ripped the cunt off after he sent me that first message hinting for me to whore myself out for a scratch repair but no I thought I'll pay him as he did the work and the car owners were happy with it. I have blocked him and I'm not worried at all about myself, but what if another woman was in the same predicament and didn't feel like she could turn him down. That is why I asked if I should do anything about it. | |||

" That is why I asked if I should do anything about it. " I agree it was inappropriate, and did sound like he thought you might offer to pay him in kind with sexual favours - BUT, the fact that he has subsequently asked you out on a normal date and is now trying the angle that he wants to pay YOU back, that does put a doubt in my mind as to his original intention, so I would leave it be on this occasion. | |||

Some dude on here sent me what could be seen as a death threat as a first mail the other day, thinking he was being clever and funny and then couldn't understand why I reported him for it *rolls eyes* Some guys just need a masterclass in how to chat up women. Whatever the issue, you got a cheap deal, he's probably feeling like a Grade A dick and it's just him and his palm this Friday night as ever | |||

I meant I didn't think it was wrong of you to pay £100 and not the original price he quoted as some are implying. Yeah I know, was going off on a tangent! Claws are out in this thread. It's getting too milkshake in here now anyway!" YAZOO | |||

"He lowered the price for you, which is also inappropriate.... You only paid £100, so just block him and move on. You can't take with one hand and put your fingers up with another. (Well you can, but can't then complain about it). The only person to actually gain anything out of this is you. " I agree | |||

"He reduced the bill, took a chance with you and you didn't take him up on it. He's now asked you on a date after you were happy to pay less than 60% of the original quote. If you think he's behaved inappropriately pay up what you owe him and report him to his company. If you're not prepared to do that, you haven't really got the right to moan about him hitting on you " | |||

"OP I'm going out on a limb here and I might be very wrong. Some people do seem to have lives with more drama. I will hold my hand up partly to being one of those people. And the reason I think this is two things - one how I handle a situation. Without being specific, a lot of people walk away from things. Sometimes this is right and sometimes wrong. I am probably just starting over recent years to pick my battles - two, how others perceive you. Often I have had untoward reactions, such as you describe, because my smiling happy demeanour gives off the wrong vibe. When I read threads like this and the hostile posts it makes me smile a little that others clearly don't get reactions like that. How you deal with it next is down to you. I've read good and contradictory advice from others on both sides of the fence. What is best for you ?" Honestly I ain't arsed about myself and in no way did I or do I feel threatened by him, offended yeah because I thought well would he have said that if I'd said oh my husband will sort this out. I had to think back to the day that I saw him in the flesh, it was off the back of a day in work and I would've been in the reptile shop looking at the Burmese pythons like I always do when I'm waiting for my daughters kickboxing class to finish. I would've been tired, I would've been wanting to get home and watch emmerdale, I would've had a hoody on and tracksuit bottoms, wouldn't have been smiley or warm and welcoming cos I'm blunt and naturally standoffish. I've blocked him so he's done now, and based on the reactions I'm not going to do anything about it. He can be someone else's problem. | |||

Thats such a shame you live that way Is that a defence mechanism against the world because you assume everyone wants to fuck you in some way or other? I'm naturally smiley But then I don't have crowds of topless women chasing me off a cliff | |||

"The initial message was way off about finding another way to pay, I do think that was bad hopefully it was just borderline bad humour. That said I think regardless of if we find someone attractive or not if people don't act how are relationships ever formed? He may have chanced his arm had you met him in a bar, restaurant, train, gym or taxi queue. He happened to meet you in the manner he did so I'm not sure that by asking someone out to buy them dinner he's doing anything that bad. If we can't speak to people we're attracted to and try and find out if they'd like to spend some time with us then we're all in trouble. " Yes, the fact that he is asking her to date now makes me think it could have been fairly innocent - incompetant maybe, but innocent. If he has seen her on fabs and has read this thread I expect he's about ready to lynch himself by now lol! Playing Devil's Advocate for a moment - I have a question for those who have their faces on public display on here. Would you be offended if people recognised you and related to you in a more sexualised fashion because of it? | |||

I would be just as offended if I worked say in a pharmacy and on a night out with friends someone recognised me and asked me for advice on their rash. There is a time and place for everything. | |||

"he'd offended me by suggesting I would give him my body or do any type of sexual act in exchange for goods or services. " I think the best you can argue is that he *inferred* this, as he never outrightly *suggested* it. I severely doubt it but there is the very slim chance he may have been angling on you cleaning his dishes for a week. | |||

"You were quite happy to go along with all he suggested. Why get uppity now ? Don't report him. All he did was cast some bait and he got his arm bitten off to the tune of £80.00. If you don't fancy him don't fuck him. P.S. To all those saying 'how dare he'......... He didn't suggest anything improper. " | |||

" Paying the full amount would have left her owing him nothing from the original price. Him reducing it, to me, gives him a reason to not leave it alone. Like he's done her a favour and now would like something back. Paying in full wouldn't have given him any leverage. Then, if he asked for her number, it would be on a level playing field. | |||

" No. The first thing he said was that he didn't want to take my money so can I think of another way to pay him back without money. The reduced offer was AFTER I said I will pay you the cash when I get paid like we agreed. I'd already given him 40 cash, the amount left to pay was £137.31 he said just call it 100. I said ok sound and paid the 100. Even after I'd paid it he sent me a message saying I won't hear from him again unless I want to with loads of kisses which I ignored and then had another message saying he still feels bad for taking my money and could he make it up to me by taking me for a meal or going over to watch a DVD, now going to watch a DVD is code to me for fucking as well or again am I jumping to conclusions. Fucking hell you lot are hard work ay. | |||

"You should have paid him the full amount. " Why? He had already asked if I could pay him in kind before he knocked 37 pound off the bill. I believe he only offered the reduced rate because of the inappropriate suggestion. He asked what he asked, I said IMMEDIATELY no I'll pay you cash like I said I would. He then said oh we'll just call it 100 then. Had I said to him oh ok I'll give you 137 quids worth of sex and blow jobs. Would that have been better because that's what he wanted, that's what he was willing to accept. Fuck it anyway. I ain't doing anything about it now so just leave it. If he tries it on with some other woman who may take the offer and end up regretting it and fucks up her life, ain't my problem would be hers. Women should expect to be propositioned and whatever the fuck else. | |||

Maybe leaving ball in your court to say yeah lets go for a drink. Maybe he tried it before with someone and it worked so thought he'd try it on you as you're a hottie and he was feeling lucky. He crashed and burned. He's a very cheeky twat. | |||
