    Font - My wife and I co-own a stone countertop shop. She runs day to day operations, is the face of the company, and while I work a full time job but will do paperwork & IT on the weekends. I'll also come in, as needed, to be an extra pair of hands.

    Font - I need to mention our looks, because it's relevant. I'm not a 10. I'm an early 40s, bald, dad-bod type. I've aged like milk. My wife, on the other hand, has aged like wine. Between a love of fashion and fitness, she is a beautiful woman. We joke that our business does so well because she's "contractor bait."

    Font - Around 3:30 PM, a contractor came in to drop off a check, and then discuss a new project. He's chatting up my wife, being friendly, etc. I'm just hired help to him, but I notice the way he stares at her ass as she walks around, and then he blatantly looks down her shirt when she's at the front desk writing up paperwork. I just shake my head. He's there for 20 minutes or so, and leaves.

    Font - About the same time I finish cleaning up and go to head home. She has to run payroll for Friday and then make a bank run, so we go our separate ways. Since I have time to kill, I hit the local bar for a beer before driving home. Guess who is there? The contractor. I sit near him because most seats are taken, and he notices my company shirt. He chats me up.

    Font - Pretty quickly he mentions my wife. "I don't know how you can work for her. I'd be harder than those countertops seeing her walk around all day!" "Yeah, I guess she's pretty cute." "Pretty cute? That's the type of woman that could drain my bank account and it would be worth every penny!"

    Font - It goes like this for a bit, when he asks if I know what she likes to drink. I say I'm not sure, but when we do happy hours she usually gets a vodka soda or something like that. My wife hates vodka. She loves gin.

    Font - So imagine my surprise when she comes home from the shop the next day with a handle of Tito's vodka from a friendly contractor! Apparently she did a "great job" on the last project, and he wanted to say thanks.

    Font - I'm typing this post on Sunday morning enjoying a Bloody Mary with that man's generous vodka gift. EDIT: Told my wife the story and shared this post. She's dying. She always felt he a touch creepy. Happy to hear he helped me have a good Sunday.
