Unusual encounter

[swansonj]

Last night, half past midnight, I was already asleep when the doorbell rang. Answering it in my dressing gown, there was what I can only assume was a prostitute. "John?" she said, which is indeed my name, "you called me half an hour ago" and tried to come in. After some fruitless conversation ("I don't know you"; "You called me") she clarified "You are John, 9 ----- Way?" "Ah", I said, enlightenment dawning, "No, this is 9 ------ Road, ------- Way is that turning just across the road", and I went back to bed, where my wife had slept through the whole thing.

What a hero, selflessly redirecting her instead of taking advantage!

well i mean he'd have had to pay and that's just not on!

You would have thought she would have realised you weren't expecting visitors when you answered the door in your dressing gown.

 

[Hover Fly]

With that sort of visitor that's exactly how she would expect him to be dressed.

Nip round to 9 -------Way and have a word.

It would make interesting reading in the 'Dialogue from your day' thread.

Last night we had a police van come round looking for the landlord we bought the house off 12 years ago!

A while back we had a knocker who wouldn't accept that he didn't live with us http://lawsie.blogspot.co.uk/2009/08/curious-case-of-late-night-knocker.html

It is clear that you have more experience than I in this type of encounter, I bow to your superior knowledge.

That's a funny place to have a door....

You could have taken advantage of the opportunity and have her invoice the other John

 

[Vapin' Joe]

A great opportunity for blackmail there.

Don't pass on it.

You get an invoice?!

 

[Hover Fly]

I knew heard of one that had a credit card terminal by her bed.

Tsk, this kind of thing happens all the time in hotels in Lagos. The other classic is when you arrive on a Sunday and at about 6 on Monday morning the phone rings and a voice tells you the arrangements have been changed and a car will collect you at seven. Kidnap attempts like that can only be set up with the connivance of the hotel phone operator, I assume.
