Sometimes, because my boyfriend works in a lovely rural setting, and members of workers families are allowed to sit quietly in the surroundings while the workers work, I go and keep him company, keeping to the side when he has customers.
Part of his job involves taking people across the river on a floating platform which costs £7 and people try all sorts of scams not to pay.
This morning, boyfriend asked one of his coworkers to take over on the platform while he went to do something his boss had asked him to do.I continued to sit by the side of the platform chatting to his coworker.
A woman was waiting to cross the river and said to boyfriend's coworker, who was new, "I don't have to pay, you probably don't know but I'm the girlfriend of the guy who just left"
I said "really, that's interesting, let's wait till he comes back and we'll both have it out with him, since he's my fiance"
Woman decided she didn't really want to cross the river after all and left.
When coworker and I told him this, he laughed and said he had had lots of peope tell him they didn't have to pay because they were related to various coworkers none of whom had any idea who these people were.
