what is with these people?

May 20 2011

recently we met a couple , for drinks as we thought. they turned up and was punctual . first appearance they seemed to be fine, the girl was very friendly, the guy well just another guy. we chatted a short while, the 2 girls seemed to be getting on famously, the other guy seemed to want to start to preach to my female partner about not being pressurised into drinking, and no one was doing that, maybe because hes into law that he felt he should do so and start earning himself a few brownie points. i was wearing a long sleeve top, and slightly pulled the arms back to just feel a little more comfortable, i am a painter and used to working with short sleeves, then the guy started whispering to his girl, quite rude we thought. But let it go, then he started whispering again to her and very quickly got up and left. so so peculiar we thought. the next day i sent a message to them and thanked them for turning up, and queried the whispering, the answer was i had a bit of paint on my arm the size of a 10c piece, and they felt i was dirty and removed themselves. surely after working a 10 hr day, grabbing a quick shower and turning up on time, is more important than a little speck of paint. id like to know other peoples thoughts about this please and whilst i am at it, what is it with all these professional people, do they think they are so superior , do they feel it makes them better, maybe they should look at the word meaning of professional. wake up dickheads.

    Just another hot tradie. Obviously he felt a little inferior. Maybe he couldnt compete. Didnt like the idea of his lady love getting down and dirty with the hired help?

    I agree with you about these so called superior beings, the professional type.It is obvious you are a hard working person and you look clean cut.I would have to say that he may have felt you were not quite the push overhe thought you were going to be.He seems rude, obnoxious and only to self indulge without any feelings forhis sexual partner and play friends.Don't take offence to his rudeness.Their are some real nice people on this site so keep looking and don't letthis person make you feel bad about your self.Isn't be a painter a professional job now day's.

    Seriously?? Wow, that's so bizzarre. Sorry - can't even think of anything to write. So gobsmacked at them leaving because you had paint on your arm!

    You can only ever make one. . I guess they figured if you missed a 10c piece, what else might you miss. I don't think it's necessarily a professional v tradie dispute. At the end of the day, you decided you weren't right for each other - NEXT.

    How funny! I recently painted our house as I thought it might be a nice change and didn't want to hand over near 10 grand! Well I was sore for weeks from the up and down ladders and sure I had spots of remnant paint for that long too... Wonder how many clients I lost for looking grubby in my oh so professional job? I reckon I might have performance anxiety confronted with a painter as I definitely wouldn't have the stamina to keep up! Lucky I'm a voyeur too so I could sit back and enjoy the show after I was spent ;)

    thanks for your honesty, and for sure i feel better now, but was certainly a little irate at their very strange behaviour, maybe this is how professional people can be. Being a painter, and i mean a good painter, takes thought, knowledge, patience and understanding, i teach some of the different wall effects, and often have to tell the men that treat the tools you are using as though you are using them on a woman, it takes finesse, to be a good lover, it takes finesse to be a good painter too. apologise for the rambling, but dont like being put down by anyone un neccessarily thanks again.

    Its less about them being "professionals" and more about them as people. The last thing needed here is more generalising and stereotyping of people based on how they earn their money. I don't know anyone who likes being put down (except for the guy who wanted me to humiliate him but that's a different situation). I agree the behaviour was odd and I certainly wouldn't want to meet them again. Viva La Difference

    At the risk of being shouted at..........The truth and simplicity of the situation is that for a reason you (and others) feel may be trivial this couple chose or decided that your are not their type, it happens. Just as you may at some stage decide someone is not you type because of a tattoo, a piercing, a roll of flab, etc etc, all reasons that may be valid to you and yet trivial to others I doubt that it had anything to do with a Tradie vs Professional approach at all, but as Jean Girard mentions fist impressions mean a lot and this couple may well have been questioning you overall cleanliness (rightly or wrongly) because of that one little missed spot that in your business is irrelevant.Alternately, that one spot may well be the excuse for any number of other reasons as when meeting couples to play with couples all need to be comfortable and maybe the male was not.That said, we are aware of one person who gets very uncomfortable if people roll up their sleeves in that person's presence as it can be seen as aggressive and this person gets uncomfortable in those circumstances. Not us, as we don't care but this girl has her reasons.Shell and Gaz

    OP, sounds like you narrowly avoided an unsatisfactory experience, so their prejudice may well have been a blessing in disguise! At least you know you used your manners and showed them respect so you get to walk away knowing it was their shortcomings and not yours that were in question ..... My house is in desperate need of painting and as much as I'm a fan of a hot tradie, I have a weakness for the professional who fancies himself as a bit of a home handyman .. So, Puppy ... Fancy a part time job? I can't pay you cash, but will willingly see to it that you're left every bit as sore from up and down motion as you were in your own house! Oh and do bring Mrs Pup, I'm quite sure I can find something for her to help me out with while you're hard at work! ;-) Flirty x

    I think that is absolutely appalling behaviour! I always find it amusing when reading profiles and the "professionals" can't even spell the word! LOL Pusscat xx

    Please... let's not get into the blue collar versus white collar debate. . This has NOTHING to do with the person's job. It simply reflects the hang ups of the individual. To make such a statement reflects your own prejudices. . I agree that the guy's behaviour was odd but I have encountered similar (bad) behaviour by so called "blue collar" people (not a term I like). . A profession or job does not influence how a person behaves or fucks. It's the individual's hang ups and prejudices that dictate that. . Vive la Differance !!! When I have a cock inside me ... I'm not thinking "cool painter"... I'm think "great fuck" ! . Hugs, Saturn

    Imagine if they met my hubby and I. We are dairy farmers and it wouldnt be a 10c size paint stain they would have been looking at lol. No seriously, we need the odd coffee date. It makes us scrub up that bit extra if you know what I mean. Atleast they turned up, focus on that.

    I work in an office so I must be a stuck up arsehole? You don't work in an office so as far as your concerned, I think you are dirty? Geez get over it already. Nobody would know the difference when we are in our birthday suits anyway.

    Was the guys name Howard Hughes? lol.Sounds like he was a germaphobic fusspot with OCD tendencies. I know a lawyer or two who think they are god's gift to the world. Ignore their warped judgement.As for "professionals", I am a professional but with clients I would expect a painter to have the odd paint spot, a mechanic to have a speck of grease and a farmer to have a bit of hay attached somewhere. I always seem to have a bit of make-up left on somewhere.

It’s about peoples own beliefs, standards and how they carry themselves. We're white collar but that doesn’t make us who we are, it’s just what we do. Unfortunately stereotypes exist people can be grouped into 'categories' with various similarities. I think in this case you came across the 'self obsessed wanker' stereotype and shouldn’t take it to heart. It’s not you its them!

    Being professional has nothing to do with it. They were obviously the judgemental types who have their own interpretations in life. I wouldnt blame them cuz as someone said, theres no right or wrong in this. To each his/her own. Would you rather have them sit through the entire evening feeling uncomfortable? I didnt think so either... :)

    It is ok some PPL form opinions too quickly and are not so diplomatic. Nothing to do with being pro but I guess you and them simply not compatible. Try to be bit less senstive nd move on. Hopefully they have also read these posts nd learned some lesson. We found you very nice.

    I don't know, perhaps they want to be with someone who is prepared to make a little effort when it comes to presenting themselves on a date? Eitherways they sound like tools, I wouldn't be worried if I were you, but maybe next time you should shower before a date ;P

I'm not into paint effects but I did a pretty good job on my walls for an amateur, must be because I'm a damn good lover too hehe. I did have visions of doing the ceilings but one room and I was over it and they had been done before we bought the house. Maybe you should bring your wife and check out our walls some time :)
