To not want my boiler serviced ever again?

Received a reminder off British Gas for the annual service however 12 months ago at the last service I really embarrassed myself.

The gas man opened the cupboard where the boiler is, (think integrated kitchen cupboard) I was making a cuppa behind him and noticed his shoulders going up and down. He looked at me and was laughing. I asked him if everything was ok, he said yes fine and carried on working. He popped out to his van to fetch something so I had a nose in the cupboard. In there was a boxed DVD of the, let's say, adult kind. Pictures on the front and everything.

I was absolutely mortified. When he came back I hastily pointed at it and said "THAT isn't mine"! (It wasn't) He winked at me and said "I believe you" and carried on tittering away to himself. Confused

I hid for the remaining duration of him being in my house. On his way out he cheerily said "See you next year"!

I hope not. Shock

What if it's him again OR what if he's told his colleagues and I'm known as the woman with a secret stash of pornos in her boiler cupboard?! Blush

Missing point, but whose was it?

Why were you hiding someone else’s porn in your kitchen?

Oh yes sorry. It was DH's. He said one of the lads gave it him. I had a few choice words for him. I mean who stores things there? He thought it was hilarious.

That's nothing compared to what happened to me! Many, many years ago I did party plan to make a bit extra money as well as a demanding full time job because we we were renovating our house. The most lucrative at the time was Ann Summers, so Ann Summers it had to be!
We were in the full throes of building work and as such one day had a house full of builders. One of them asked if he could use the bathroom. The same bathroom that I had washed all my AS work 'equipment' in and had laid them all out on a towel in the said bathroom!!!!! I. WANTED. THE. EARTH. TO. SWALLOW. ME UP. He came down ashen faced... they must have thought that I was sex mad!!
Needless to say to gave up party plan soon after and thankfully have never gone back to it!!🤣😂🤣
To be honest OP I get different engineers every time they're called out. A safe boiler is the most important factor here so I'd book that appointment.
