Once again, I am at a loss

Another way to just hint at it. Is simply leave the cable bill out where she can see it, and mark the two charges with a highlighter, if she says anything tell her your trying to get those *fake* charges removed from the bill. As you know she would never order something like that, and you sure didn't. So it had to be a mistake and you don't want to pay for it.

This will let her know your not too busy to look at the bills, I know a lot of people who never glance down the list on their bill but just pay it. So if her parents are like that, she probably gets to order whatever she wants and they have no idea.

Just toss it on the table, if she's ordering movies on your account there's a pretty high probablity, she's going threw your stuff as well. And if she does pick it up and look at it. She'll think twice before ordering something on you. If the charges don't reappear the next month you'll know she seen it. If they continue to reappear you'll at least know she isn't going threw your stuff or is brain dead.

How old is your dogsitter? You mentioned something about a 4.0 GPA, so I'm thinking she may be in high school? I think it's odd that she would go through the ordering process and NOT realize you would be getting the bill for it. Also, not that I'm suggesting anything one way or another, but aren't those channels/movies more for guys? (sorry if this is a stupid question...) I'm just wondering if 1.) there is more going on than your dogsitter sticking you with pay-per-view charges (like having company over...) or 2.) maybe they ARE bogus charges and you could check with the cable company.

In all, though, the password lock sounds like a great solution without any direct confrontation...it COULD be a bit awkward!!:eek:
 
I would change the code or look into the parental lock type thing to block the channels if you can do that..Good luck. Kali

Why did you have to go there? EWWWW!! I feel so sick now. Maximus, it is time to get the couch and carpets cleaned!

I would get a password and let her know that she owes you some free dogsitting to make up for the cost of the porn. :p

Sometimes people don't realize this, believe it or not. BF's brother charged up this HUGE phone bill on 900 numbers and almost died when he was approached. He somehow thought BF would "never find out." Hello?
 
A couple of years ago I received a bill with a couple of porn movies. I was shocked. I would def. remember if I ordered them :) I called the cable co. and demanded to know what the deal was. I was so hot. They asked if there was anyone living in the household that would have ordered them. I had a roommate at the time but never thought he would be the one. I was a visual that I didn't need, especially since it was my house and my leather couch...
 
I would just get another dogsitter as this could happen again if you don't mention anything about it. Otherwise, lay it all out on the table for her...literally! You don't have to be mean. Just show her the bill, and let her know that you would appreciate it very much if she doesn't charge up movies again unless she plans on paying for them.
She will respect you more for it.

We also have a password to order movies. It's the sloution.

If she is doing this what else has she done that you don't know about?

Maximus,
Kit has a VERY good point. If you do not mention anything now when it's fifteen dollars, then what if she starts pushing it to an even higher amount thinking that you don't mind? You let her enter your home under trust. She is obviously breaking that by not asking for permission first.

I used to have a high school boy (the son of a good friend) clean my house once a week while I was in college. He ran up a $150 phone bill one month calling 900 numbers on Pacific islands. I had never heard of such a thing! The funny thing is, he thought I would suspect that someone was coming into my house when I wasn't home and using my phone (but nothing else), rather than suspect him. It was touchy and took some tact, but we worked it out eventually. His mother and I are still good friends, and he finally admitted what he had done and seemed remorseful. He also paid back the cost of the bill by working for me for free for quite a while.

I would tell her that if she is doing to be ordering things from cable, she will pay for it herself.....
WHY be embarassed about saying anything lol... it was her not you....

Well, summer's half over & like I said, she makes the dogs happy. So I guess here's the breakdown:

One week of dogsitting: $250
Two porn movies for the dogsitter: $15
Happy dogs: PRICELESS
 
Maximus, I think I want to start dog sitting for you. I'd love to earn that type of money and play with dogs all day, and have someone else's house to sleep in, or do whatever I wanted.

But I'd serious consider what the other's said, those doggies might be getting more of a peep show then you think. And if she's busy with the TV, she sure isn't busy with the dogs. And that's only if she's into watching about the most degrading crap ever made, by herself.

But from the talk of the young college girls playboy and x-rated movies are the thing to watch, and then act out with your boyfriend or other. And they invite their friends over and watch it together, like most of us here watch a PG, or R rated movie with our friends. And I hear this when they are in the gym, walking down the sidewalk, in the stands waiting for a game to start, it's no big deal, they'll talk about it just about anywhere.

And I know your dogs are happy right now, I think most of the rest of us, are just afraid of where this might lead. Not to just more money out of pocket for you. If she doesn’t respect you now, will she continue to respect the pups? Or will she take a swat at them for bugging her during one of her *shows*. As I don’t think most would want a doggie or something jumping in their lap, while watching. I might be wrong. Never tried it, and not going to. But it brings up a lot of ifs. And with the college girls I over here, it really brings up a lot of ifs.

I really hope for your sake, that this was a one time thing, and she is behaving, and dog watching alone. Though if it were me, I’d arrive home unexpected every now and then, just to keep her on her toes, but also give you more of a sense of what she’s up to, and to check on the dogs to make sure they are getting the best care your paying for.

How old is your dogsitter? I agree with the others, she is not watching these alone...she is more than likely doing the hoochy-coo in your house.

For sure, try the locking out thing...works well at my house. You can lock out for "price" or "rating".

Now, speaking as a mom, if this gal is less than consenting age (18), you may want to have a little talk with her. If she was my daughter, I would thank you!
 
Does you cable have parental controls? My cable box allows me to lock out adult material without a pin #. Maybe you could call you cable company and check it out. Locking it out might save you an uncomfortable conversation with the sitter. It does seem odd that a female would be watching this stuff. Any chance she has a boyfriend coming over?
 
She'll be back tomorrow night so I'm checking my controls tonight.

Kit I'm pretty sure this was not your intent, but I am LMAO at the visual of a bunch of college girls sitting around my living room, watching porn, & studiously taking notes for use on their next date. :7
 
Next time she sits I would deduct the cost from what you pay her and just make a note it's for the TV shows she ordered last 2 times. :) She will get the idea and you won't have to confront her.
