I am a salesman at a large franchised dealership. as you can imagine, my days are spent trying to look busy for the dealer principal and chatting up the receptionist.

I used to ‘do quite well’ with the girls at the dealership, so when we had a temp to cover holidays, I set about getting more acquainted with her. She was only there for two weeks so I had to move pretty quickly.

I couldn’t be bothered with trying to play the game, I had to score from the kick-off! I took her out for lunch on her second day and made my intentions very clear with one of my onion rings and a chip… by the look on her face and the way she smiled, my experience told me it was definitely on the cards!

On the Wednesday, We went out for a drink after work. Things got pretty intense and I started to think that I had bitten off more than I could chew (not literally).

‘You know we have security cameras here, don’t you?’

As soon as she’d had a drink, or five, she was almost scary. Anyway, on the Friday, I was working late and she decided to sit at my desk until I was done with my paperwork. I couldn’t have planned it better as everyone else walked past saying goodnight and left.

It was down to just me and her and a big old showroom… she said she had never been in the dealer principal’s office and asked to see it.

I couldn’t believe my luck. We locked the doors and I took her upstairs. I gave her the ‘full tour’ of the office, the desk, the chair, the floor etc. Anyway, on Saturday morning, my sales manager called me into his office for a chat. He said, ‘You know we have security cameras here, don’t you?’

‘Yeah, course!’ I said.

‘And you know the dp has had one put in his office now that the safe is in there, right?’

‘Ah, no…’ I replied in a very sheepish voice.

He told me he had deleted all the footage from the night before and not to worry, but just to never, ever do anything in his office.
