early repair-person and owning it

[Christie ann]

These days I am surprised when the repair guy comes late but early? I did ask for a phone call prior but there was nothing so I went to change an hour before he was supposed to show up, but there he was walking to the door when I came in from the back yard. So, I greet him dressed with basically everything except the wig as I was working in the dirt. ( and the cutest garden hat ever) No comments, no laughing just a discussion about the problem. I do know that I will be the topic of conversation at lunch.

I think because we are getting out there more and more, people aren't that surprised to see us. They might not agree with what we are doing but they know we are not the only biological men dressing in a gender non conforming way. If I had turned tail and changed quickly we would both know that something was wrong. So just own it because its not 1970 and we are not doing anything wrong!

Alternative version: you were nowhere near the most challenging thing he'd come across. I bet you were at least an easy customer, but more likely a pleasure to deal with!

I used to be an appliance tech for a large company here in the US. I could write a whole series of novels on the things I have seen and heard.

Christie,
Very true in what you say .

The only time I've been caught out in this situation was when I was sitting at my dressing table halfway through putting makeup on, wearing only panties and no wig . The only thing I could do quickly was slip on my dressing gown and grab my wig , the fact I had no boobs was was something I could do nothing about .

Now I tend to slip on a bra as well with my forms and a light robe .

Anyone that worked in a service industry that requires you to enter someones home can tell you that a cressdresser is far from the strangest thing they have ever seen.

My boss was cable television installer in Southern California during the 1980's, now he has seen things that can't be unseen!

TOO TRUE!! Way too true.

My funniest service call ever, though it wasn't too funny at the time, Kenmore/Whirlpool when the first came out with the direct drive washer was notorious for slinging panties and socks over the basket and then getting caught in the water pump when the tub pumped out. I got out on a service call washer not pumping out. I get to the place and a husband and wife meet me there and I get out my wet dry vac and suck as much water out of the tub as I can so I don't flood the house when I take the water pump off. We are all there cutting up and laughing when I finally get to where I can take the water pump loose and sure enough something is caught in the pump. I pull it out and it is a very tiny thong. She turns red as a fire engine and he turned white as a ghost. I tell her these machines eat these all the time, thinking she was embarrassed half to death, and she turns to him and yells "Where the H__L did that come from??". Needless to say, I set a new record for getting a washing machine put back together and the H__L out of Dodge that day.

I could write a whole series of novels on the things I seen and heard doing service when I was off duty. One of my posts in the service I was one of the inspectors for base housing, we did routine surprise inspections to make sure the unit is being kept up to standard and I've seen and heard it there too.

Good for you, Christie Ann. Well done in just owning it.

Christie ann, I have dealt with Fedex at the door and it ended up being a non-issue as well.

Why would military personnel be any less likely than the rest of us to indulge their peccadilloes?

Fully dressed when the doorbell rang and i saw it was the UPS guy, order arrived earlier than expected, so i just opened the door and said hi, signed for the package and said thank you. Thanks for posting Christie, I hadn't thought about that in a little while.
