"How dare you ask for the permission of the one paying than me! You're only saying that because I have tits!' = this bitch

Should be a warning sign for the husband but he's already in too deep. If you want to sign shit for contractors, PAY THE MONEY YOURSELF. The contractor wants the clearance of the one paying because it's their ass on the line so if you ok it, he starts work so pays for materials, schedules a time to be there, gets people to assist on contract etc and the person paying says they didn't ok it, they're in the red already.

Yea ... I'm calling bullshit. This didn't happen or she left out some crucial details.

About 50% of the time "I work from home" is code for "I'm a kept woman who fell into some Facebook MLM bullshit with all my copious free time".

So maybe the husband literally was the one paying for it, on a card in his name only, and the guy wasn't comfortable starting work on a pinky promise from someone with no ability to authorize the actual payment.

But yeah that's probably academic, it's a text-to-speech tiktok about some contrived act of oppression, those are assumed to be the delusional ramblings of a bedridden human shaped piles of neuroses by default until proven otherwise.

There's also the artsy business woman who doesn't realize all of her work is being done by the people at the office. She thinks for certain her paycheck means she is valuable, but the wine alone is more than she makes.

The detail she left off was that it was indeed the husband paying for it so the contractor made the right call.

I can believe it happened, because there's one obvious point in this story that this lady seems completely unable to fathom - this nice little thing called 'identity theft' and 'fraud'.

If you're a professional contractor, and you're going through someone to hash out the details of payment, and the constant refrain from the woman is 'Oh, my husband is paying for it' and you don't see the actual husband, alarm bells are going to start going off. And fences can cost a lot of fucking money.

So, yeah. I can honestly see a bitch being too stupid to stop and realize that, oh, this guy just wants reassurance he's actually going to get paid for all the work he's about to do and materials he's going to buy.

So if the story is to be believed, her pride got in the way of getting work done at a lower cost than anticipated? Yeah, her husband REALLY put his faith in the right lady lol.

That as well as the fencer sounds like a really good guy, wanting to confirm with the person paying to ensure they show everything is above board before the work starts. People know that women get taken for a ride due to their lack of knowledge all the time, and he could be trying to avoid that when it comes time for them to pay the bill.

I'm reaching here but it sounds like they lost a pretty good fencer due to her throwing a hissy fit.

I've had contractors want to be sure my wife (I don't have one) was going to be there before. At one point I thought it was just to CYA them from changes later, but if I remember correctly every one of those that shows up has tried some elaborate sales pitch, so I think they wanted to play off that.

I could still imagine it's a good idea to get everyone who owns the house's approval first. Especially if they don't pay anything in advance. Most of the companies around here have made me pay 25-50% upfront for more expensive projects.

I'm sorry, but the fucking pie making in the background (while well done) is fucking distracting. Was this made for zoomers who need some kind of visual stimuli every 5 seconds to maintain attention?

She's definitely leaving out some key details to make it sound more favorable for her.
