I think the deal is that some guys are creeps, and nice guys don't get it because they can't imagine acting like a creep.

Agree. No witnesses or video so it won't go anywhere ... unless they have several other complaints, and they might.

If the butt-boi is not the owner, then contact the shop owner and complain.

If it was my wife or gf, I'd have a "talk" with him.

You are just a 3rd party so you can't even file a complaint, but you could talk to the shop owner or the perp.

Someone has to ask.
I can't tell you who it was, but I can tell you that this wasn't the rear in question.

Just so we have enough data points.

Does her hubby even know? I agree somewhat... "most" women I've known would have "nipped it in the bud" as Barney says.... easy-peasy the very first time that line was crossed.

One thing is for sure....this ain't Fred's problem to deal with imo....so send Missus Fred over to visit the creep

Maybe send Mrs Fred and 5 of her closest friends. Then they can team up on him like some of the videos circulating these days. I'm pretty sure it's OK to kick this one when he's down.

the husband is a pansy. is this the only mechanic within a hundred miles?

personally, i would probably kill the mechanic and melt him in a tub of acid.

my wife would likely have grabbed the fire extinguisher and beat the guy over the head with it

your friends are some real sissies

That's a pretty big bomb to drop in a small town. A police report.

If the passive husband knows I would think he could still call the guy and advise him she felt violated. For most of us, if we were the bad guy, getting called on the carpet for even a slight infraction, would result in us being mortified.

I would stay out of it, Fred. These things get confusing fast and being in the middle isn't where you want to be.
Yelp is Yuseless. Seriously, 500/mo. will get you 5 stars all the way. No negatives. Like the BBB, they are the same racket with a new name.

I know this is hard to believe....but in addition to the double standard stuff you mentioned.......I have know "certain people" to conjure up stories in order to stir up trouble - in many cases because they love the drama so much and (apparently) can't get enough of it just minding their own business.

My standard response when someone starts up with some drama story is: "Talk to the hand...this is a drama free zone!"

Oh HE11 NO! I've been there and I did get up in the guys' face. I made no threat just made sure he understood that it will not happen again. Those were literally my last words "it will not happen again". Of course she never went back. That was my wife, would I do it for somebody else's wife? I don't think so.

Don't handle your friend's problem for him. Next thing you know, she'll be bragging over and over how you saved her and before you know it, you and your friend will have conflict. The only thing I would do is to advise your friend but don't do it for him.

The Jeep probably has General Grabber A/T's on all four corners. Did honk her horns too?
