Pool Guy
The title “Pool Guy” almost seems cliche’, but this really happened. We live in a house that sits WAY off the road, about 600 feet. As a result, we leave a container on the side of our driveway for deliveries. The only time anyone drives all the way to our house is for pizza delivery and our pool guy. The pool guy has always come on Monday for the past 4 years. Each Monday he shows up between 9 and 11 to clean the pool, make sure the chemicals are right, and check the filter pressure. After he leaves, either that afternoon or the next morning, I get an email explaining what he added to the pool, pictures of the pool before he cleaned it and after, and a picture showing the pressure gauge for the filter.
My wife works from 7 - 5 Monday - Friday and off on weekends. On Saturdays she spends the morning cleaning house and doing laundry, and most of the time she spends the afternoon lying out at the pool with a glass of wine. It is common for her to take a nap after a getting relaxed from a couple of glasses of wine. Sometimes, she pulls the cushion off a lounge chair and lays it near the pool to get more sun. Not always, but occasionally, she will lay out topless or naked depending on the mood.
Last year we went out of town for Labor Day Weekend and came back on Tuesday. I had to work Wednesday, but she took the entire week off. We spent Tuesday getting the things done that we weren’t able to do over the weekend and then went swimming afterwards. I came home from work on Wednesday and my wife asked me if Daniel, the pool guy, still cleans the pool on Monday. Daniel is a young guy around 20 and is the regular pool guy. I asked her if there was a problem with the pool and she said “No, the pool is fine. I just wondered because he was here this afternoon.”
I hadn’t thought of it until then, but pointed out that it was probably because it was Labor Day on Monday so he was having to fit us in. She said she figured that as well. Not understanding her point, I asked her if something was wrong with that. She said “Not really I guess. Except, I was lying beside the pool asleep when he came and I guess he didn’t want to wake me up so he cleaned the pool as quietly as possible. I did wake up at one point because I heard the gate shut as he was taking his vacuum and other items to his truck.” Still confused, I asked her to just tell me the problem. Was he rude, did he do something wrong, or what. She shook her head and said “He was fine except…I was lying out on my back totally naked! He’d already been here 15 minutes or so when I woke up so he was nearly done. When I saw him I didn’t know what to do so I apologized and rolled onto my stomach, it seemed the most modest thing I could do considering.”
I burst out laughing at this and told her at least we didn’t need to worry about a Christmas gift for him this year. I checked my email and sure enough, the pictures he took were taken to carefully keep her lady parts out of the picture. One showed her legs from the knees down, another angle showed her shoulder and face. Of course, I have no idea if he took any other pictures. There was no mention of what he saw in the email and he’s never mentioned it since.
