An Unexpected Complication for Two Maintenance Guys



The two maintenance guys exchanged glances, their brows furrowed in surprise. On the second floor, they had been cheerily greeted by the guest—an elderly gentleman—but the statement he made next left them shocked.


"My woman's been getting on my nerves since last night," he sighed. "She's convinced that I'm seeing another woman and she's talking about coming here to see who my new lady is."


The old man looked the two men up and down before continuing. "Listen here, youngsters," he said. "I may be 67 years old but I still have them old women going crazy. I been a player since 1953. It just shows that age ain't nothing but a number."


The maintenance guys nodded and smiled, thankful for the uplifting story from the guest. They all wished him a good day before the elevator doors opened at the lobby.


As the men parted ways, they looked at each other and say “women”. It was a reminder that life—no matter your age—can always be filled with joy, romance, and surprise.
