Michelle, Don't go back. Make some excuse, anything, send him to a colleague. Assert yourself, girl. If necessary, tell him he makes you uncomfortable and hang up on him! There is absolutely no point in putting yourself in a position that is uncomfortable. Similar things have happened to me, and I have finally learned that it is not okay for a customer (or anyone!) to behave that way with me. One time, when a weird guy called me back, I asked a male friend to go with me. He brought a book and just hung out. Boy, was I relieved. The client was surprised, and never called me back after that! You can be polite and friendly, but firm. But don't put your well-being (physical or mental) in jeopardy for some damn piano tuning!
