ran into provider at gas station...

Walked by a provider in Walmart a while back, but she didn't notice me. I texted her and she told me where she was and I came over to her and we had a nice conversation. It was someone I know very well, though. I've never encountered any others like that. Originally Posted by SpankyJ

One of my ATF's was formerly a cashier at a pharmacy. I didn't know that until I walked in. When I saw her, as a joke I went and picked out a box of condoms--XL, which I don't wear and took them to the register. She LOUDLY laughed and said, "What are you doing with THOSE, you can't use those!"

All that remained was to look around and see who else heard her. I didn't have the guts. Exit quietly.

I had the same feeling Willro when I had known a provider a long time and we became friends on Facebook. I was surprised when under mutual friends that she was friends with my grand daughter. I asked her how she knew her and she said they were good friends in high school. That was a weird moment for me. I still see her UTR, but we are both careful that my grand daughter doesn’t know how we know each other. Originally Posted by sas72032

Holy shit, I don't know if I could keep up that relationship. It might just be too weird for me.

Luckily all of these women, and myself, have so far had the good sense not to invade each other's private lives, and we have refrained from clicking the add friend button.

I had it happen I was dropping off one of my rental cars and one of my gentleman was with his mom and his kids and we looked at each other and kind of just like smile and then that’s when he called me a little after that he’s like was that big butt yours I seen lol it was awesome!

And I had another time where I was in the hospital visiting basically like a sister to me she was having a baby and one of my gentleman seen me at the hospital and he was with his kids and I think his so and then he texted me like a couple days after was like was that you I seen at the hospital the other day ! It was funny lol !

I think it’s awesome but at the same time I don’t really like to acknowledge it but if your single aN by yourself I’ll say hey! If oknow if you’re with your so I just Kinda look at you or I might not acknowledge and then you can always text me later ! Safer that way !

A few times she has joked and told me she thinks about me when they talk or are together. She has been an UTR regular for about 5 years, so if she was going to say something, she would have. I am the only one she sees and she is in Conway. She is a really sweet girl and I am actually glad my grand daughter has her for a friend. She is someone I would want her to be friends with.

I would say my worst encounter was the time an eccie guy tried to rip me off, didn't work how he planned, I made a post about him. Then one day I was at the store, and he pulls up beside me and said "that's fun we are having on ec" and then left, it was like a scary horror film. My mom was in the store, so luckily she didn't see him. It was so rude and uncalled for. Hopefully he's retired by now, I'll never forget he was about 75 and carried a gun. Mean old grumpy sack of shit he was lol

It's happened to me twice. Most recently was ran into a provider at a convenience store. We smiled and said hello to each other. She texted me as soon as she got into her car. No harm, no foul there. We were actually good friends.

The second time was a little bit more risky. Was with a "man of the cloth" who I was taking out to dinner as I was interviewing him for a position on a non-profit board that I was on. As we were waiting for our table at the restaurant, ran into a provider that I had seen just once. That time was just a simple head nod and smile. Was waiting for the lightning bolt that night.

Nothing worse than a mean old grumpy sack of 75 year old shit! lol ! You would think that a 75 yr old man could at least be a nice gentleman and treat young ladies right! I guess some just get worse with age not better.

I can only think of maybe two providers, three tops, with whom I have a friendly enough relationship that I might consider being Facebook friends with them, but they've kept their distance and I've respected that choice. After all, no matter what the ladies might say, ultimately it's all about the money, not about any sort of personal relationship.
