Stuff like that gives me the creeps
I’m an HVAC technician, and I recently had to go into this really creepy house to fix someone’s A/C unit for them. I don’t like going into old creepy houses when I’m out on calls all by myself. Maybe that sounds like I’m a big old baby, and maybe I am! But I’m a pretty big guy, and I’m not scared of very much. I’m not scared of snakes, or dogs, or spiders, or anything like that. But I hate the thought of going inside of a house that looks like it could be haunted or something. This lady who needed her A/C fixed looked like a creepy old witch to me. When she invited me in for some gingerbread before she showed me the A/C system, I just about ran right back out the door! It felt like I was in the middle of a fairytale and she was going to try and shove me into an oven and eat me for supper! The longer I was in the house, the creepier it felt in there. Even before I made it down to look at the central air conditioning system, I told her that I had to go back out to my HVAC truck. I really didn’t need anything out of the truck; I just had to go out there and compose myself before I went down into her basement. You probably think that I should stop being such a baby, but I can’t help it. Stuff like that gives me the creeps. I called into our dispatch office and told them that I needed backup from another HVAC technician, even though I probably could have fixed everything all by myself.
