Cable Man

So on Friday the cable guy came to our house to set up our new DVR. It ended up being quite the interesting experience. I am going to tell you all how my meeting with cable man went.

Cable Man: Wow... that's a nice tv you have.
Me: Thanks.
Cable Man: (Staring at my wall of games) While we wait on the dvr to connect you want to play Jenga.
Me: (awkward laugh) um no thanks.
Cable Man: Well I am a champion at it. (laughing at himself) Where do you all have your cable hooked up?
Me: It is buried outside in our backyard.
Cable Man: (walking to our laundry room) Oh I'll just check in here... they sometimes run it through here too.
   (enters our laundry room) wow thats a nice washer and dryer you have. stackables.. nice.
Me: Um thanks. So our cable is outside... you wanna check there?
Cable Man: Looks like your box is not connecting let me run to my truck and grab a new one.
Me: Ok. (while he is in his car I call Wade and tell him the cable guy is here so he knows if I don't call him back in 15 mins to call me back)
Cable Man: Oh man this new box is too cold... let's start a fire to warm it up so we can get it connected quicker.
Me: (seriously weirded out at this point) Um no. Here is a space heater just warm it up on this. (i then proceed to get on my computer and pretend to be doing really important work stuff)
Cable Man: (a few minutes later) Looks like this box is working well. (Pause) Man this game sucks come on guys.
Me: So is everything all set up and ready to be used.
Cable Man: Oh yeah sorry I was just checking the picture quality.
Me: Ok thanks. I will call if I have any other questions have a good day.
Cable Man: Wait... I need to show you a few things with this new cable.
Me: Ok I got it bye.

Seriously... how awkward is that??? I immediately lock my house back up and call Wade. He insist I also
carry his shotgun around the house in case. BTW the cable guy was like 50 so he wasn't hitting on me he was just creeper. Hope that gave you all a laugh :)

  1. That just freaks me out, really. This is why I want a dog, in case creepers HAVE to come into our homes when our men aren't around!
