Dealing with awkward people

[Highway Man]

OMG I am probably the best looking poster on here. OMG. A couple have just walked past me whilst I am putting a WiFi system onto the sea front and I heard one of them say. OMG I would shag him.

How did you get on dropping your flowers to that drowned woman?

 

[Highway Man]

Hahaha

And that was said by her husband to his wife. That’s how great I look.

I am doing it on the way from this job. Not looking forward to it. We have got her a hair voucher to get her hair done because of the oil on the rag as well. OMG some people are such leeches.

Does she know you're coming?

Yes unfortunately. I bet she won’t answer the door

hmmm the bosses are not really thinking this through. Nobody should go around the woman's house and apologies and certainly not on their own. A bunch of flowers and a card is perfectly acceptable, but really you shouldn't start giving beyond that without it being in full settlement of the claim.

Obviously you are aware that the purpose of coning off the walkway is mainly to ensure anything you drop doesn't kill or injure someone.

make sure you limit your dialogue to an apology and at no point discuss what you should and should not have done. if she argues.. stick with the apology.

"again I am sorry for the distress and inconvenience.". etc.

may be worth having your phone on record in your pocket.

Have you ever had to do this sort of thing before?

Have you ever had to do this sort of thing before?

Not at all. Although I have had to write letters of apology. But not this but it is her request

Weekly I'd say

She wants you to come round and apologise in person? is this a euphemism

Our bosses have organised this and a manager is also coming with me.

That's a weird situation. Be careful, as MBK wrote. Don't repeat your OP to her!
