A Perth man has made the shocking discovery that his wife of 8 years has been secretly working as a “high-class” escort, after he inadvertently booked her services through an online agency.

40-year-old FIFO miner Peter Anderson uncovered his wife’s clandestine side-career last week when he and several workmates solicited female escort services at a hotel in East Perth.

On Saturday July 11th, Mr Anderson and several workmates had their flight to Port Headland cancelled, prompting them to check into nearby hotel accommodation for the night.

“I guess I could’ve driven the 45 minutes home, but seeing work was paying for the rooms for the night I thought I’d just get on the beers with the boys,” Mr Anderson said.

“As far as the missus was concerned, I was gone for another 14 day swing, so I figured I needn’t bother even telling her.”

Mr Anderson said he and three colleagues spent several hours drinking in the lobby bar before there was a general agreement to book escorts through an online website.

“These sites do a great job of smudging out the identities of the girls,” Mr Anderson said.

“But, looking back, I guess there’s some resemblance to the missus. But I never in a million years believed she would walk through the door.”

Mr Anderson described the discovery of his wife’s secret occupation as a horrible shock.

“At first when I saw her, I thought ‘holy crap I’m busted’, then I noticed she was quite literally dressed like a hooker,” Mr Anderson said.

“After a short domestic in the hallway she ended up staying the night and we even ordered in room service.

Mr Anderson is seeking legal advice on recovering money paid to the escort agency, on the basis that he has firsthand knowledge they falsely advertised his wife’s escort profile.

“I do still have mixed feelings about the whole thing, but one thing I’m sure of is I want a bloody refund.”

“I don’t why on earth she is hooking, lord knows we don’t need the money… I guess she just gets lonely when I get sent away,”

Mr Anderson has stated he is seeking legal advice for recovering the prior $1600 payment made to the escort service for a two hour “girlfriend experience” package, on the basis of false advertising.

“I made a booking in good faith for a 28 year old lingerie model,” Mr Anderson said.

“Now, I know for a fact that she isn’t 28. I had to buy her tickets to a fucking Katie Noonan concert for her 30th, which was at least five years ago. I’ll never forget that experience. I’m also calling bullshit on the 6-8 dress size and any mention of her being interested in cooking and the outdoors.”

Mr Anderson said as shocking as the incident was, he was in some regards grateful for making the discovery.

“I guess I can be thankful she didn’t knock on the hotel room next door,” Mr Anderson said.

“If she’d been booked by my shift supervisor Bruce Colbran, I couldn’t live with the shame. That bloke might be a great diesel fitter but he’s a notorious grub and a total fucking pig with no respect for women.”
