Close Calls

Tan Khan's Avatar
Last Saturday night I was working from home on my pc. I finished up after about an hour and decided to get on Eccie (I was sure my SO was upstairs) and was on for about 20 min when I hear a cough behind me. I froze for a brief moment (and probably soiled my pants) then closed the browser and turn around.

My SO was napping on the sofa 2 feet behind me, she made her way to the sofa without me noticing. Thankfully she didn't see anything compromising but it was too close for comfort.

Do you have a close call you like to share?

I brazenly review EECIE on my tablet while in my chair with the wife sitting on the couch when we are supposedly watching the tube. Occasionally, I have to swap to another app when she gets up to go to the kitchen for something.

I really wish people would take Eccie more serious and approach it more business like (NOT)

Cut-n-paste, and a well-cultivated reputation for having a poor memory, can be your friend. I've shared a few good tidbits from here with the SO. I just copy to a note page and say I forgot where I saw it originally.

I've actually had a couple of wives either call or text me from the guys' phones. One reason why I will not return calls any more - I had the wife call me back asking who I was and why I was calling her husband.

Hmm I had a movie going on my laptop with my boyfriend and then had a burst of ECCIE email notifications flash across the screen. Thankfully he never asked me about them.

As far as clients, no angry wives or girlfriends yet, just a guy who had to stop seeing me because he phone was found. I guess he played me off as an ex or something.
I had a guys wife in Austin call for weeks asking " where is your escort agency located" poor thing.

Being completely straight, I'd only be playing with the male partner. LOL. But I have done a couple of doubles sessions with the guy being the center of attention. And if my guy is available he's willing to join in to be watched with me and sometimes tag team.

Or figure out some sort of obnoxious marketing to do and try to sell them something. Ask them if they're happy with their current cable TV provider and ask if they'd like to switch to Direct TV.

Heck, I get all kinds of telemarketing calls who don't identify themselves and often hang up if you talk to them.

Tell them that you work for Microsoft and that you have detected a virus on their computer, and that you can help them remove the problem, if they'll just give you their credit card information.

Or this time of year, try to convince them to vote for Mike Martinez for Mayor.

Be still my heart. I have no idea who you are in real life or if we have ever met. But your response cracks me up. Brilliant!
