I just started a job where I will be entering other people's homes and repairing their computers. I am concerned about protecting my-self and would like some advice from people who do this already or have done in the past. Physically I'm a pretty imposing guy, 6'2" 220, mostly muscle with 2 black belts in different fighting styles so it's really not the fear of physical confrontation. I'm mostly concerned about ladies accusing me of touching them or worse because I won't lower their price or something. Any help will be appreciated.
Protecting yourself when working in someone else's home?

Never do this stuff alone. Even if its a friend just hanging around.

Made me spit some coffee out because of the sheer absurdity.
I'm assuming you are in the US? Well, sucks for you because it seems that there you are guilty until proven innocent when it comes to rape. Here in latin america you are innocent until proven guilty in that area.
They are calling you to fix their computer. Simply state your price before going there and leave no question about it: You won't accept haggling.
Always wear a helmet cam. Tell them it's to record your work to improve you skill. Don't tell them it's actually because they are lying dirty whores who can't be trusted. Also working on computers is dangerous, and you need a helmet to protect your pink squishy brain.
I think you should record everything. Before you enter someone's home just inform the him/her (I'm sure there are weird men who scream rape *shudders*) that it's a safety precaution and throw in some BS about an increase in violence. If the customer needs their computer fixed and have nothing to hide, chances are they would comply.
