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.
