Here’s a delightful (or, you know, horrifying) fact about relationships: people are 60 percent more likely to cheat on their partners in spring and summer.
I feel like that’s the strangest thing ever, considering car sex in 30+ degree heat is basically a glorified form of torture, but whatever.
Now that we’re heading into ~prime cheating season~ knowing where to snoop out a slimy snake comes in handy.
Luke Athens, the director of Heartbreakers - a leading Private Investigations Company specialising in cheating partners - has revealed the places your fellow Aussies are cheating.
In short? They're bloody baffling.
“One of the most interesting things I have experienced as an infidelity private investigator over my 21 years of practice is the constant creativity towards weird places people are cheating," Luke explains. (Post continues after gallery.)
"I must admit peoples creativity under such short notice really aspires to greatness... If only they placed as much effort into their current relationship, the issues most likely wouldn't exist.”
Without further ado, here are the wacky places people are doing the dirty.
"Just last month we were investigating an infidelity matter for a client in which we were starting to believe the subject was not having an affair because we had spent a considerable amount of time placing [him] under surveillance and his schedule was [almost too] tight to allow for an affair," the private investigator said.
But suspicions piqued when the man was seen meeting up with a woman on his regular morning run.
"After a short period they reached a dense area full of trees and remained in the bushes for about 20 minutes, before leaving the shrubs and continuing their jog back to home and separating on their return.
"After placing several hidden cameras in the bush land the following day we were able to prove our client's suspicions right."
Who cares about hygiene when toilets have "a high level of privacy compared to other communal areas", am I right?!
"When it comes to getting caught [public toilets] can also offer a stronger cover than most other options, as going to the bathroom isn’t a weird activity unless there are already suspicions that an affair is happening."
LISTEN: Is monogamy dead? (Post continues...)
"We once had a case where two people were being intimate in between two parked trucks on the side of the road," Luke recounted.
Dear LAWD. I'm never looking at cars with their hazard lights on in the same way ever again.
Explaining movie theatres "provide a strong cover", Luke says most cheaters "meet the other person inside the cinema, after the lights are already dimmed".
"With other film watchers all focused on the action on screen, sitting towards the back can mean their actions go unnoticed given the darkness and noise being projected around the room."
Yikes. What other unusual places have you heard of people cheating?
