funny or creepy?

so i'm at home today while the window guys are here. this morning, the two guys came, but then i went out for a bit and came back and they had gone for lunch too. they got back at the same time i did. so then i was sitting here at my computer, one guy was upstairs and the other was in the bathroom working. a THIRD guy (who i ASSumed had shown up after lunch or that they picked up) came into the hall and started talking. now, he had work boots on and was dressed very similarly to the other two window guys.

i thought he was talking to me and asking something but i couldn't understand him and he was making weird gestures. i thought (seriously) that he was mentally not all there or had a speech problem or something. i had NO IDEA what he was asking me. now he was standing right outside the bathroom where the other guy was working and i'm thinking, "why the heck isn't he helping me understand his co-worker?"

all i could make out was that he was saying his name, that he was an electrician and a plumber and that he "could fix it if it's broken." i figured he was just introducing himself b/c i hadn't met him this morning with the others. so eventually it turns out that he was telling the other guy to get out of the bathroom so he could use it. so window man gets out of the bathroom and this other guy goes in to pee. (i now realize that his weird gestures were the pee dance!)

and he pees but HE DOESN'T SHUT THE DOOR! now mind you, i'm sitting at my computer, which is basically right next to the bathroom. i'm like uhhh.... and as i was sitting there, i could smell that he REAKED of alcohol. so now i'm gettin a little upset- how could they have an obviously drunk old man working with tools and stuff and on my house!?!

so then he comes out of the bathroom and goes outside. the other window guy who had been working in the bathroom came back after awhile and asked me if i knew who that guy was! apparently he was outside moving their tools and stuff around and "cleaning up."

i said, "no.... i thought he was with you..."

he said, "no.... i thought you knew him!"

so window guy goes back outside and "mystery man" is standing on the front porch. i followed to the front door and the window guy said, "buddy, you gotta get out of here, they don't know you!" so then i see the guy walking away with a silver bike (that i'm hoping was his).

so then i was a little freaked out and was looking around to see if anything had gotten stolen- nothing that i know of. the window guys thought i knew him and i thought he was another window guy!

in summary: A DRUNK OLD MAN JUST WALKED INTO MY HOUSE TO TAKE A PEE- WITH THE DOOR OPEN!
