Service and repairmen at your house.
Just read this story...
*******************
Geek Sued For Peeking At Woman In Shower Via Video
(CBS) POMONA, Calif. A woman and her mother Wednesday sued Best Buy Stores after a technician from a computer company allegedly recommended by an employee of the electronics firm videotaped the woman taking a shower.
Sarah Vasquez and her mother, Natalie Fornaciari of Walnut, filed the lawsuit in Pomona Superior Court, alleging fraud, negligent misrepresentation, negligent hiring, invasion of privacy and intentional infliction of emotional
distress. They are seeking general, compensatory and punitive damages.
Best Buy officials could not be immediately reached for comment.
According to the suit, Fornaciari went to the Best Buy store in Industry on March 2 and asked an employee about getting her computer repaired. The employee gave her a brochure directing her to call a company called Geek Squad,
the lawsuit stated.
A Geek Squad employee, Hao Kuo Chi, allegedly used a cell phone to videotape Vasquez when he went to the Fornaciari home on March 4, the lawsuit stated.
A review of the phone's chip, which was removed by Vasquez's younger sister, showed Vasquez showering, according to the lawsuit.
Chi later tried to get the chip back, offering a discount for his services if they returned it to them, the lawsuit stated.
Chi was later arrested, the lawsuit stated. He and Geek Squad also are defendants in the lawsuit.

Okay...quite a horror story...but really, I don't think I would let a stranger into my house, then go take a shower...
Anyone have any stories about service repairmen coming into your home and misbehaving, tracking up your carpets, breaking something, etc...?

Re: Service and repairmen at your house.
I'll tell ya, I wouldn't be too concerned personally. I'm a guy, remember? If, upon entering my house, the repairman displayed homosexual tendencies, I'd be able to pick up on that immediately because I have GAYDAR! The discount offer off my repairs would have to be v-e-r-y tempting before I would allow Mr YUCK FOU to peek at me in the shower. Then he would get one hell of a show!
Seriously though, my wife will not allow any repairman in the house unless someone is there with her. She just doesn't trust any stranger in her house, period!

Re: Service and repairmen at your house.
No horror stories, thank goodness. But I would be sensible. First, if I have to let a repairman in the house, I tend to follow them around, or at least stay where I can see them. Second, no way would I go and take a shower while he was there, aaaaaain't happenin'!
Sorry, too many dangerous f***s in the world today to take any kind of a chance.

Re: Service and repairmen at your house.
Yeah, I'm probably the most annoying guy to any servicemen that enter my house. I do not leave them alone in the house for any reason and basically expect them to keep a running monologue of what they're doing so I'm sure they're not thinking about other things, like all the expensive electronics they would like to steal...
