A few friends of mine, four young ladies, have been having a bit of a problem with a certain fellow coming by their house looking for work. They have been, with a little assistance from a few of us fellows, fixing up their house and yard. So, this rather scruffy looking dude keeps coming to their house at inappropriate times (tonight it was around 2200) asking if they will hire him to work on the place. His story has evidently changed about a dozen times, so his intentions are probably not as honest as he would have them believe.
This evening, when he came by, two of us unpleasant looking gentlemen stepped out onto the porch, and his demeanor changed dramatically. He actually winced when he caught sight of me (I'm used to people doing that). Rather than further attempting to persuade the ladies to hire him, he started to make an exit, but then he stopped. He inquired as to whether or not we might give him "a cold one," to which I replied, as unpleasantly as possible, that we do not drink. He said goodbye, waved, and toddled off.
Fortunately, these four ladies are no fools when it comes to home defence. They have three large, unpleasant looking, alert, and exceptionally loud dogs. They also posess at least one firearm, and we're all going to have a little classroom session from Azzy about just how to use it properly. We're in decent shape should this wierdo decide to try something.
So, I'm curious as to what to do. Enlighten me.
