Weird, kids were out in garden and said a guys here for daddy went out and I dont know him but asked if he was in, said no hes at work and asked his name, he told me but never heard of him. I asked him what he wanted and he said was wanting to ask a favour about a car then asked for his number. Said im not giving him it and he said oh ok ill try catch him another time. Was pleasent enough but I dont like that sort of thing.

Txt husband but doubt he will reply until his break :(

Does your husband know a lot about cars?

Aermingers · 09/06/2015 18:05

a) Your husband has a secret second family and the eldest son has just found about about you lot and tracked you down.

b) Your husband is having a torrid gay affair.

c) Your husband is a terrorist and he's from MI5.

d) Your husband is an escaped genetic experiment and this man is his Illuminati creator who wants to recapture him so that he can extract the secret of eternal life from his DNA.

e) He wanted to ask a favour about a car.

I think d) is most likely.

OP, I am sure you have nothing at all to worry about.

I hope you are getting help for your anxiety levels though as this level of anxiety is not healthy :)

This isn't the kind of thread to start on AIBU to be honest. I hope you find some help with your anxiety soon.

I'm definitely going with the Breaking Bad theory. That or they are in a motorcycle moped gang

Vodka - people are only messing, don't get upset. Brew

FayKorgasm · 09/06/2015 18:18

I think what the op means is it looks not very middle class to have a young fella on a moped calling to her house.

C,Mon Vodka this is AIBU.

Your DH met said lad somewhere random ie Supermarket car park, they started convo about cars, lad tells your DH he will be buying car soon, but doesn't know what to look out for, your DH gives him his number and says call me when you're ready and I,ll look it over with you.
That is all. Or he,s having an affair with a younger man.

Gruntfuttock · 09/06/2015 18:24

TheRollingCrone is right. It's sure to be either of those things.

If he knows your dh how is it possible that dh doesn't know him?!

NorbertDentressangle · 09/06/2015 18:26

Vodka - the silly comments are making light of the situation which should reassure you that it really isn't something to get worried and anxious about.

purplemurple1 · 09/06/2015 18:26

I get what you mean OP a few guys called round for my OH and actually let themselves in the house before I got to the door. They didn't know his phone number or where he worked (been there 7yrs). Then they wouldn't really say what they wanted. They were nice enough but fairly rough looking, I know book - cover, but still had that split second of panic!

Husband has been spending lot of time with my brother so guess could be a friend of his

Vodka it's a good sign that people are taking the mick, if it was a big, serious deal then everyone would be taking it seriously

It's nothing to worry about, really

Gruntfuttock · 09/06/2015 18:31

OP the young man went away straight away and was pleasant, so why are you worried?

purplemurple1 · 09/06/2015 18:32

They were friends from his lumber jacking days over 10yrs ago, on their way home from work. Guess they had been reminising and popped in to see if he wanted to share a bottle of vodka with them. I'm sure yours has an equally boring solution.
