So I've just sat down and started to pee and there's a knock at the door. I finish quick as I can (6 months pregnant), and just as I'm pulling up my trousers and fighting with my bump band, the door opens! (toilet at top of stairs, and me with door open since I'm in house alone)
I screech 'EXCUSE ME?!' and waddle down the stairs as fast as my SPD allows, to find a guy saying 'oh I've come to read the meter love, it's just right under the cupboard here'.
I said 'Well I don't think you should try the door and just come in' and he said 'oh sometimes there's an inner door so all we can get to is the cupboard'. I gestured to the complete lack of inner door, and said 'well we don't have one, which you can clearly see from the window'.
Then I said, 'I will take the meter reading myself, thanks' to which he said 'ok fine' pleasantly enough and I slammed the door loudly.
Was I being unreasonable, or was this a normal reaction from a startled pregnant woman caught with her pants down?
Leaving for an appointment now, will be interested to see later whether you think I completely overreacted. Keeping the door locked anyway now as DH is always telling me to do!

AIBU?
To think a meter reader shouldn't just try to walk in my house?
