The Business
Monday I got a call from a new cutomer called "Timothy" who has been recommended to me by the gay lads that invited me to the dinner party (See previous poll).
Basically as you would expect he was looking to come into the office with his partner to chat about a mortgage for a penthouse he has put an offer in for. Nothing weird here - Happens all the time.
Anyway Timothy turned up with his "partner" Kim. Only Kim was not a Kim as I imagined a Kim to be but was in fact a small fat and rather weirdly dressed man.
Cut to the chase so to speak they had tried to other brokers who had told them it couldnt be done - God knows why as it was what we call in the trade a POP deal (Peice of P1ss).
Anyway we did the whole deal on-line as I love as its means less paperwork and less chance of customer to back out. As I hit the final button the screen flashed back "CASE ACCEPTED!!!!". Great for them and even better for me as its means more money.
I turned to Timothy and Kim to give them a nice manly hand shake. Now I accept this is a joyous moment for them there first house together and normally couples do get really excited once its all done - (Personally I have just mastered the art of looking excited) but what happened next was a bridge to far...............
Timothy turned to Kim and planted a full on smacker on his lips. Now I am not just saying this but it was a kiss that lasted all of about ten secs. I was starting to think it was never going to end.
Now I know its 2007 and live and let live and all that and I know the counter argurment would be would it have been a man and woman would I still have offended but I really found it a bit of a gut wrencher.
Am I stuck in the past or would you have found this a bit offensive?
