To be annoyed delivery guy peed in my garden!

Just seen a delivery guy peeing in my front garden (caught on ring doorbell) wasn't even my delivery and he was delivering food 🤢 clearly sees the doorbell but doesn't care! Someone said well there is a lack of toilets but surely that's not an excuse?!

He wasn’t “a delivery man” he delivered nothing to your home and he wasn’t on your property as part of his work role.
A random man came into your garden and used it as a toilet - awful

On the plus side, it apparently deters foxes.🐺(this emoji showed as a fox and now its a cat!)
Perhaps cats are detered too, I don't know.

To those saying it’s fine, is it also fine if a female delivery driver squats in someone’s garden to pee?
Ideally they’ll hold it (as women would have to do) until they get to a public toilet they can use. I appreciate delivery drivers are strapped for time and public toilets aren’t always easy to find, and also appreciate pee isn’t going to ruin someone’s garden, but it’s just really unpleasant to pee in a strangers garden.

I’ll add that I work as a carer and when I take my clients out I’m not able to leave them to use the toilet, I have to hold it until we’re back.

Also there are literally products on the market to cater for being "caught short"!

The "kiddiewhizz" does an adult size version, pee in that and then use some antibac hand wipes within the van. Dump out the contents down a drain.

Or boots and Amazon sell bottles that are designed for those who are immobile or stuck in traffic for example that can be dumped out.

And those are the reusable, eco options, there are also gel filled bags that hold several wees as well as a host of other products I've not listed.

There is no need to go pee in someone's garden, it's absolutely grim, and I absolutely would report this to the company!

Edited

There’s bound to be a reason why your suggestions are mean and unfair to the delivery person…

You expect human beings to pees in bottles?

Well aren't you a treat

What do you think the police do when on a stakeout, politely knock on the suspects door and ask to use the loo

Round here they wee in bottles and leaves them in the pavement. I think I'd rather they weed in a bush.

This is an age old myth, usually about truck drivers. No adult man can fit his penis into the top of a bottle, I remember a drunk ex and his mate trying when we were young and stuck on the motorway in a van.

I always assumed it was parents letting their kids wee in bottles when caught short.

Disgusting but I do wonder, where do delivery people 'go'???

Some have a bucket in the back of their van. I remember seeing it on a documentary years back. And not just for taking a wee, for 💩 as well. They said the often didn't have time to go and find a proper loo.

oui · 30/04/2024 12:55

Yes report it. Disgusting. Ignore the 'poor guy was bursting' comments. My husband is a postman, he pees in shops, pubs, cafes. And yes sometimes he's had to pee in a bottle rather than pissing in someone garden.

SwingTheMonkey · 30/04/2024 12:50

Berga · 30/04/2024 12:45

Is he just supposed to piss himself then?

Show quote history

No. Just not relieve himself on someone’s property. Op isn’t responsible for this man’s access to toilet facilities.

Absolutely disgusting. I’ll never understand the people saying ‘poor man’ in these scenarios. It’s absolutely unacceptable to piss in a strangers front garden.

Also did he pee on the food? Doubt it

No but he'll have held his nob without washing his hands afterwards, then he'll be holding someone else's food in the next delivery 😨

So he delivered food to one house then randomly walked up for path and peed? That's weird, why yours? I'd complain

Yes he delivered to a neighbour then came into mine and done it, all I can assume is because mine has a hedge round it and next door doesn't so more "exposed" though didn't care he was on camera...

It isn't an excuse. He could've gone anywhere else but to pee in someone's garden is disgusting.

Report and file a complaint.

Also suggest said delivery driver carries an empty bottle so he isn't caught short again 🤣

If they are lucky they have a tescos or Macdonalds etc on route. But employers don't factor in time to use them.,

Winningatpatriachychicken · 30/04/2024 12:32

Honestly I wouldn't care. Poor guy was probably bursting. And his employers won't have factored loo breaks into his targets. And he probably makes minimum wage.

Urine won't damage your lawn, don't make someone's life harder but reporting them, it won't make your life any better
