Woman Creeped Out After Gas Man Gives Her His Number—Then Stays In Front Of Her House For An Hour

When the gas man comes to service your home, one would expect him to leave the premises after a customer is satisfied with a job well done.

That was not the case for one woman, who was given a personal number from her gas man and saw him loitering outside her home for well after he was finished with the appointment.


TikToker Emily, a.k.a. @frecklesemx, posted a clip chronicling the events following the receipt of the gas man's number scrawled on a piece of paper.

"So, the gas man gave me his number today and I decided to test it to see what he would say," she wrote in the onscreen caption.

"It started off normal," she wrote, over a screenshot of the beginning of their text exchange.

The TikToker wrote:

"Hey Ed, thanks for giving me your number, and thanks for being sweet. Emily x."

To which he responded:

"Your welcome, no problem, you're welcome. If you don't mind me saying but you are gorgeous and I don't understand how you're not taken."

Emily then showed a view from her window of him still sitting inside his parked car in front of the house.

"Why is he not driving off?" she wondered.

Emily responded humbly to his reply, writing:

"Omg that's so sweet esp [especially] since I'm in my pjs hahah."

And he explained that her comfy look was "turning me on. lol"

She even caught him checking his phone to see if she responded to his comment.

"He really said f'k this job," she said of his attempt to mix business with pleasure.

"Hahaha oh lord," Emily replied, and Ed told her, "Sorry, just be honest lol."

When Emily responded "fair play," he wrote back:

"Well like I said I'm on call this weekend. So if you have any problems give a shout and I'll be the one coming??"

She didn't respond, but then she received this followup message from him:

"I can come back in as I'm just sat outside, waiting to finish before moving on to my next job. Rather that texting [each] other??"

"He has been waiting outside for an hour now," wrote Emily. "Help!"

The clip received over 1.1m views and 62,000 likes.

TikTokers weighed in with their concerns.

In a follow-up video, Emily divulged what she learned from Ed, including the fact he had a four-year-old son and was divorced after being in a toxic relationship.

She described their chit-chat as "normal conversation," and at the end, she signed a slip before he gave her his number and asked her to contact him again if she had any issues with the gas or for anything else.

Emily explained she willfully texted him because she had never been in "that position before" and was curious to know what he would say.

When she stopped responding to his texts, she said she locked the door and Ed finally drove off after thirty additional minutes passed.

When Ed found out the video featuring him went viral, he contacted Emily again. But this time, he pleaded for her to take down the video.

"Can you please delete your TikTok that you posted of me sat outside yours," he wrote.

"I could lose my job and now looking at this it does come across creepy. I'm sorry if I offended you in anyway."

Emily initially considered deleting the video because she would feel guilty if he were to lose his job over the incident.

However, in an update in the comments, she decided against deleting the clip after learning Ed actually had a girlfriend and a child with her.

The reasons for her keeping the video up included the possibility he would probably come for her next gas check and also in the event this might be happening to other women.

People Who Smashed Wedding Cake In Their Spouse's Face Reveal How Their Relationship Is Going Now

According to The Knot wedding resource magazine and website, smashing cake into the face of a spouse after tying the knot is a tradition tied to medieval England. To celebrate the marriage, the bride would toss a piece of piece of cake over her shoulder for good luck.

This evolved into newlyweds feeding a piece of cake to one another, then taking frosting or a small bit of cake and rubbing it gently onto each other's faces—usually the cheek or tip of the nose.

U.S. Army Vet Goes Viral With Blistering Speech Ripping Trump For Deploying Troops To L.A.

A U.S. Army veteran went viral after she spoke out to encourage other current and former military members to publicly condemn President Donald Trump for using them as "pawns" to suit his own ends after he deployed the National Guard and Marines to Los Angeles amid ongoing protests against his administration's immigration raids.

Trump has activated over 4,000 National Guard members and 700 Marines, despite opposition from city and state leaders. He has painted a bleak picture of Los Angeles—claims that Mayor Karen Bass and Governor Gavin Newsom say are wildly exaggerated.

She and her older sister, Malia, now 26, spent their formative years in the presidential residence, growing up there throughout their father’s two terms, until the family departed in 2017.

Trump Dragged After Hilariously Flubbing Insult About Biden's Mental Acuity

The term malaphor means when two or more colloquial phrases or idioms get confused and combined to create something nonsensical. According to the National Institute of Health (NIH), malaphors are a common symptom of frontotemporal dementia or other cognitive impairments.

So when a person seeks to accuse someone of being unintelligent, their use of malaphors is ironic and possibly very telling—narcissists will always accuse others of their own faults and failures.
