To expect the cable guy to NOT stink my bathroom out after I have just bloody cleaned it.

just had two cable guys here changing over my broadband socket, they were downstairs, i was upstairs making my bathroom pristine.

before they go, cable guy one asks to use the lav, is AGES up there- I go up to continue cleaning and it bloody STINKS!

Its bad enough having to put up with dp's toilet smells, without having to smell the guts of a stranger.

vomit.

You obviously aren't using enough air freshener(s) !!(see marketing thread). Did he do anything to mitigate the whiff (open window etc)? I don't think you can complain as he did at least ask and you gave permission ! Not nice though.

I think he is on CableGuysNet right now boasting about the massive dump he had in your toilet

Did he put his penisy hands all over your bathroom too, do you suppose?

Have we really had 9 messages and not had a joke about "laying some cable" on here so far?

I can't believe it

You are being unreasonable. If you didn't want him using the loo you should have said no.

DrNortherner · 24/04/2007 14:37

Complain to company?!!

What's the guy supposed to do? Shit on the lawn, or ensure his shit come sout smelling of roses?

FFS.

Unreasonable yes.

Yep, my DH thought it was perfectly reasonable for plumber to "drop a log" in our loo. I know it is reasonable, if you are out on jobs all day you have to go somewhere, but why MY house????????

Just phoned dp at work to tell him that the cable had been changed over ( he is anal about wires hanging around etc)

told him about cable guy and he pissed himself laughing.

It must be some kind of idiotic bloke thing to find it acceptable and humourous to stink someones lav out.

plumber's way... oops

Had a plumber out a few weeks ago. He arrived 15 mins late, said "mind if I just use the loo?" and headed upstairs for about a week. I took DS upstairs once he came back down, to keep him out of plumbers way, and accused poor DS of having had a poo as it STANK SO MUCH upstairs. Bleeeurrghh.

I would complain to the company as I think that is disguisting.

I think it is the height of rudeness for a workman to have a poo in my loo

i HATE IT
