Contractors are full of stories involving being seduced by bored housewives, but here's a story about an encounter with a naked homeowner you can actually believe.

Andrew Griffiths at Heirloom Wood Floors in Duncan, British Columbia, had an awkward moment on a job: He was in the middle of a renovation project, edging the wood floors, when the lady of the home went downstairs to take a shower in the basement. Unfortunately, the circuit powering the edger also supplied the power for the fan and lights in the shower, as well as the basement lights; that was too much for the 15-amp breaker, which tripped. Griffiths met up with the embarrassed woman in the electrical room, as they fumbled together looking for the appropriate breaker.
